Soaring Eagle..
Soaring Eagle, the resident open-theist, almost always posts long, huge, cut and paste jobs from open-theists (Sanders, etc.) Is he included in this warning?

"All of the above"??? Are you talking about all of what I posted?----- Or all of John Gill's book? I'm talking about the section from Gill's book quoting the church Fathers. I'm interested if you actually read through it, or just shook your head and pasted in your quotes. If you read all of it, I w...

Hi Bilbofett, God commanding things of people does not automatically necessitate that they are able to do those things. Whatever you think is fair; put it aside for a second. God commands many things. The 10 commandments. Are all humans capable of following them 100%? Absolutely not. I and anyone e...

Hi bilbofett, God choosing someone doesn’t necessarily negate a persons freewill in my mind. For example: Mat 12:18 "Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. Luk 9:35 And a voice...

Why should we limit our search to the New Testament? Did man have the ability to choose God under the Old Covenant? Did he lose that ability under the New? Or is it because you have discovered that there are passages in the Old Testament which speak of man choosing God? Joshua 24:15 "And if you be ...

Hi bilbofett, I know this is your game, but I thought it might help if we exanded the word search to include 'seek'. Here's what I found. 1 Chronicles 22:19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God . Therefore arise and build the sanctuary of the Lord God, to bring the ark of the ...

man "choosing" God-FUN PROJECT 4 EVERYONE 2 TRY
This is a fun project I'd like everyone on the board to try: Load up a biblesearch program (biblegateway.com/esword?) and put in the words " choose " " chose " " choosing " " chosen " and limit your search to the New Testament. You will find out of the 43 or so times (numbers may vary + or - slight...

Church Fathers on the doctrines of Grace (reformed theology)
You will find that all of these church fathers unanimously and unequivically agree to and believe what eventually became known in the reformation teaching known as the Doctrines of Grace. Predating Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, Augustine. How is this possible? Because they took it directly out of scriptu...
