Posted : 8 Jun, 2012 08:37 PM CONCLUSION: Calvinism clearly errs from the teaching of the Word of God on all 5 points of it's TULIP. The logical conclusion of Calvinism is that God is an unfair respecter of persons who chooses people to salvation, not according to any standard that He established, but arbitrarily. This strikes at the love and justice of God, contradicts the fact that Christ gave his life for ALL, and rejects man's responsibility to choose and love his Creator. Proverbs 24:23: "... It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment." Acts 10:34-35: "... Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him." John 6:28-29: "... What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? ... This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent. Ephesians 2:8: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." Post Reply

Posted : 10 Jun, 2012 10:26 PM Illumination by the Holy Spirit helps the Scripture reader or hearer understand the Bible and creates the conviction that it is true and is the Word of God However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come (John 16:13). Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God (1 Corinthians 2:12). But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them (2 Corinthians 4:3,4).

Posted : 10 Jun, 2012 10:45 PM You will never find where man is required to understand God's to believe, but it is very true if man believe's and will walk in the light of the word of God, understanding will come, primarily scripture teaches understanding does come to those that ask, pray for it.

My point in this....The verse must not mean what you think it means or all Christians would agree on every doctrine. Post Reply

Posted : 11 Jun, 2012 12:22 AM "You will never find where man is required to understand God's to believe" Depends what you are believing in...How exactly can one believe a specific passage that he does not understand? He wouldn't know what he is believing if there is not understanding. This is rather simple but this is the type of error that is inevitable when you start thinking that God's creation of the mind is unimportant. Post Reply

I can't believe (pun intended) that I should even have to make this point because it's so fundamental to everything but here it goes anyway. Example: YHWH says in the O.T. - "I Am that I Am" Ex. 3:14 That is a proposition. It provides content. Without such content, you would have nothing to believe in. You might not understand what the exact meaning of such a proposition is, however, it is still a proposition given by God. At the point, you can choose to believe it or reject it. You can not run around saying "just believe", " I believe", etc without asserting what it is that you believe in. Lest you say, "I believe in God" as your counterargument, let me assert that you still must define who/what God is in order for a statement like that to make any sense at all. I could run around all day saying " I believe in Blark" but until I attach meaning to Blark it matters not how much I believe in it. Post Reply
