David,Based on Rom. 9:22, would you agree that the Calvinist doctrine of "double" predestination is based on an assumption rather than based on fact? Ezek. 33:11 "Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?" If the wicked were created for his pleasure and if it pleased God to destroy the wicked, then the above verse is inaccurate. God, by reason of his holiness, is obligated to punish the wicked, not out of his shear pleasure and delight. |

Predestined,Why do you chose to believe a doctrine based on a rhetorical and hypothetical statement of "What if"? It is not a declarative statement, but a hypothetical statement. True, God is sovereign and omnipotent and if he so choses, that is his perogative, however other statements tend to prove that he chose otherwise. |

John from CA: "Such flippant declarations of God's love toward anyone, I believe, is one of the most hideous sins one can commit, because it has the effect of building false hope and security in unsaved people who have no intentions of repenting and beliving."Would you say that about God's love towards yourself? What makes you more special than Osama? Is God somehow more obligated to save you more than Osama? Are you more worthy of God's salvific grace than Osama? |

Yamil,I guess what the previous poster is saying is that: #1 is false. God only loves the elect sinners, not all sinners. #2 is false. God only hates the non-elect sinners not all sinners. #3 is false. God does indeed hate sin, but only hates the non-elect sinners and loves only the elect sinners. #4 is true in that God hates all sin. #5 is false. We can only be in a relationship with God through the righteousness of Christ not through our own merits. |

Lalia: "The fruit of the Elect is perceived - by the Elect only."Read Col. 3:12-17 "12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." "By their fruits, ye shall know them." (Matt. 7:15-20) (Gal. 5:22-23) "22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." |

PT,1. Innocency. God placed man in the perfect environment, the Garden of Eden. He gave him the responsibility of maintaining it. (Gen. 2:15) He did, however, place one restriction on him and that was not to partake of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil with the threatening of death. (Gen. 2:17) Man disobeyed God's command and (Gen. 3:6) as a result, man was banished from the Gardem of Eden and could no longer partake of the Tree of Life. (Gen. 3:23-24) The redemptive part of this dispensation was that God required a blood sacrifice provide a covering for the sin of Adam, (Gen. 3:21) which is a picture or a type of Christ. Do you agree or disagree with the above as being true to scripture? |
