F.E.A.R., but I need to upgarde my comp. first.

Agreed.

I've heard some pretty bad stories about swelling and stuff like that.:eek: (I must admit, I took a perverse sort of joy in making the above statement) On a lighter note, I'll pray for you.

If you are indeed a true Christian, then God will bring you back to repentance before your death/His Second Coming. And Christ did die for the sins commited during the time of backsliding.

Hello all! I volunteer at a Christian summer camp for inner-city kids, most of whom have one or more parents in prison. I was hoping that y'all could pray for 1) the staff. That they would be a shing example of God's love to these kids. And 2) that God would open these kids hearts to His Gospel...

Just got back. Ready to start again. What I am saying is that man is incapable of accepting Christ. Because of his sin nature all he can do is reject Christ. God changes the natures of the elect so that they want to serve God, but they still aren't accepting Christ. Once God has brought them...

Once again I will ask if the rejecting of Christ is a sin. If it is then did not Christ pay for it on the cross? If it isn't then why are people in Hell as Hell is a punishment for sins? What this comes back to is Total Depravity. Man is incapable of coming to God on his own. Man in his natural...

Thaddius, I'm going to say something that has been said to me a lot. All of those verses are taken out of context. When it says "us all" it means all the elect. I'm not sure how this refutes limited atonement. This verse says that any who comes to Jesus will be given rest. To properly...

I forgot to finish my first statement so here is the question. If people go to Hell for rejecting Christ, is that rejection a sin?

1) Christ died only for the sins of the elect. This is called Limited Atonement. If He died for the sins of the whole world, then why do people go to Hell? Most people who believe what Goose does say "Because they rejected Christ" or some variation thereof. 2) Do you believe in the doctrine...

DV, both of us may be 'true' Christians, but my theology is what is taught in the Bible. Whon, humans are by nature evil as a result of the Fall. Even once we have been regenerated, our sin nature keeps us from practicing good all the time. Goose, if by His omniscience, God know who will...

I've been reading a book called "The institutes of Biblical law" by R. J. Rushdoony and I came across this passage: "The Bible provides, as the foundation law of a godly social order, the law of the tithe. To understand the full implication of the tihte, it is important, it is important to...

So you're an Armineist then, Goose?

DV, here is the difference between moral acts and good acts: If a man stops a robbery one day it is a moral act, but if he is unregenerate then it is still a sin to God. If he becomes a Christian the night and the next day performs the exact same action, then it is a good act as it is done with...

I thought it was cleaner language-wise than the other two.

"All things are permissible, but not all things are profitable." "Take heed lest you cause a younger brother to fall." Good post. I think that there is a lot that Christians can do but it must be done with the proper attitude. In the above quotes, Paul was talking about the eating of meat that...

DV, we are all deserving of Hell. The reason that some are destined to go to Hell and some aren't is that this is the best way for God to reveal His glory to us that we may in return glorify Him all the more (as if He actually needed our feeble praise). The reason people don't like Calvanism is...

1) We are not able to take the offer. We are spiritually dead. 2) Yes, we are evil. When Adam sinned, it corrupted the entire human race. We now can do nothing but evil. (I said this before and I'll say it again. We can do moral acts, but we cannot do good acts in God's sight unless He has...

Just to avoid any comfusion on the subject, I am a Calvanist. I believe that God has chosen who will be saved and who will not. This has been done in order to best reveal His glory to us. Yes there are some people who are created to go to Hell. But even so, they deserve it because they are...

Darth, I was talking to C$.
