CAB wrote: [snip] I perfectly well do understand your TULIP heresies You do not. Let's take for example the first tenet of "TULIP" (Total Depravity) CAB wrote: T- Total depravity. Total lies. Do you not know what JESUS Himself taught concerning Total Depravity? Hear what HE said in the Scriptures! "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? THERE IS NONE GOOD but one, that is, God ..." [Matt 19:17] You get that? NONE GOOD Now also read Paul in Romans 3: 9-18 for an expansion of this principle, i.e., Total Depravity. |

CAB wrote: All the more reason to see that faith is our job, not God's, and that it's our job to keep the lamp burning. Jesus can kick the door in just as easy, or easier, with a lukewarm believer as with somebody who's cold as ice. The parable of the sower talks about faith -- the seed in the heart that is planted by the word of God. And it can be lost, as Jesus taught, that seed of faith can be lost, also the plant that springs up from the seed can be lost, withered by persecution or smothered by riches and the cares of this world. That's what Jesus was warning the Laodiceans. Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the Word.That's true, just like Paul told us to hang on to our faith, that IT would not be in vain. 1 Cor.15:1, 2 You've comprehended what I posted just as well as you comprehend the Bible!

CAB wrote: I agree with you, other than that faith is our part, and God needs our cooperation to save us. Jesus says he's at the door knocking, and will come in to those who open the door. He doesn't kick it down. First of all, you misapply Rev 3:20That verse about Jesus standing at the door knocking is addressed TO THE CHURCH at Laodicea and NOT to unbelievers! But there you have it, folks ... salvation is NOT (according to CAB) solely a work of God; He can't do it Himself; God needs our cooperation. In other words, WE have the final say! N.B. It's a good thing people cooperated with God down through the centuries, otherwise, if, perchance, NO ONE -- not one single person -- had cooperated with God in obtaining salvation by his OWN faith, then Christ's sacrificial death on the cross would have been entirely IN VAIN! |

Neil wrote: In addition to Frank's good comments, the Manhatten Declarations's basic error is adding social/political reform to those organized church duties expressly commanded in Scripture, which are to worship God & to teach & discipline the faithful, no more. The Apostles never spoke or acted otherwise, despite ancient Rome's egregious moral shortcomings. A secondary error is its blatant whitewash of church history. This alone is why Protestants, in particular, should have nothing to do with it. I understand your points, Neil, and they are good ones! I will reconsider my personal position. However, having stated that, I will NOT condemn others -- faithful brothers IN Christ -- for their signing the Manhatten Declaration. penny wrote: We remind each other of the great missionaries, they had an effect on law and society.The hospitals and universities were created by those who had an optimistic view, believing they could learn and grow in Christ in real life.... to call this dominionism is really just waiting for Christians who are active in their fields of work and community to cut them off at the ankles. Touche, penny! Excellent post indeed! |

John for JESUS wrote: 1) Why stop there? What is noun of the pronoun? And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28 NASB) Those who love Him. Therefore, only the specific group of those who love Him are being spoken about and not unbelievers. 2) Those who love Him are predestined by God to be conformed into the same image as Christ's resurrected body. They are predestined after faith. Before faith, they were predestined for God's wrath to come. Your interpretation fails because you do not comprehend the meaning of: "foreknew" as found in Romans 8:29 |

Mike wrote: Another compromiser of the faith. Why is he having fellowship with people who say they are Christian. But deny the work of Christ? This guy, and new Calvinist al Mohler, need to stop playing buddy buddy With these deniers of the faith, and Preach the Word! Ravi Zacharias and Albert Mohler are compromisers of the Faith? Are you serious? |

John Yurich USA wrote: Here is a scenario I have been wondering about. Would it be scriptural if one were to pray the rosary but omit the Hail Mary Prayer and just say the Lord's Prayer, the Glory Be Prayer(Prayer to the Holy Trinity) and the prayer that goes "O my Jesus forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, espcially those in most need of thy mercy."(This prayer has nothing to do with Purgatory)? What does one need a string of beads for in order to pray to the Father? Obviously, you, a Roman Catholic, don't even know how to pray the rosary! (I.e., meditate on the 5 mysteries -- either sorrowful, joyful, or glorious -- when fingering through the 5 sets of 10 Hail Marys) |
