Well God Knew they would Go to hell but if they where created for Hell that implies God Chose for them. This isn't the Case. God doesn't create people with their personalities and other similar aspects. They are caused by their surroundings and partialy genes that while God alter (and may)...

It's not well for a man to pray cream, and live Skim milk. -Henry Ward Beecher

This is a great question. Yes Adam committed original sin and Jesus did die to atone for it but he also died to atone for every other sin ever committed. Original sin is what keeps us from heaven but lack of it doesn't keep us out of Hell. Modern Faith alone Bible alone Christianity fails...

Sorry I've taken so long to respond it's been a very busy week. come on you're just playing with words now. The simple point is that you said you had no interest in the meaning of Paul's writings but then you not only discussed the meaning but brought it up in the first place. Well...

in Post #74 you quote Eph 2:8 then you say this: Faith is a gift of God's grace That seems like an opinion to me. Secondly it can be read either way very easily. I have read it over and see how it can be read as referring to either faith or salvation. You may not. However...

Happy Thanksgiving:)

Well I realize that now but at the time my original post was written it didn't sound that way so I was simply clarifying what I originally meant. He didn't but Paul never explained, to my knowledge, the verse you where quoting but that doesn't change your perspective on it...

The mall is designed to make you sad. -Father Daniel Scheidt

No one will be staring at the beatific vision and say, “Hey, where are the wombats?" -Father Daniel Scheidt

With all of these things once again it is differing opinions about what Paul means. But I wish to ask about the Calvin thing. If you think Calvin misunderstood what Paul was saying. And that is what you are saying then why do you even say it if you thing it is a misunderstanding. Secondly...

You said that you accept neither Scripture nor tradition so if you accept neither writings nor something that has been told to you by others then what do you possibly have to know what Christ’s teachings are. Evil is the opposite of the opinion of God. So if God thought that one thing...

I realize that but if you honestly think that Christ didn't say any of this then the meaning doesn't matter and I don't understand why you believe. I believe he did say this but my point is if you don't think he said any of it then your belief is completely irrational. Once again Saving...

Of course not But they would assume that they could earn salvation and salvation would come from them. For by grace you are saved this seems very simple His grace is a gift of salvation. through faith We receive this gift through Faith. and that not of yourselves, we can’t earn...

May I ask what it is you have to go on then? Ok how am I using Scripture to prove scripture? I'm using scripture to prove that God doesn't lie not that scripture is valid. And you’re the one who asked for citation. Secondly Ok I should have said doesn't sin obviously he can. However it...

How do we know what? It does matter if Christ ever actually said any of the things attributed to him because if he didn't then why on earth would we believe he ever even existed. There is no other reference to him in history except in Josephus but that was after his resurrection. The point is...

THe answer is all of them.

Philipp. 1:28-29 28 And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this from God. 29 For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him: if you read the verse above you see that...

Ephesians 2:7-9 That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you are saved through faith: and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God. Not of works, that no man may glory This is clearly saying that...
