Now v.13- "who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God." Those who believed, did so, not because of a desire apart from God for it would have been their will, but as it reads, they were born of God or born again and it had nothing to do with their wil...

Some time ago, I read an essay by Robert Hamilton that examines the book of John focusing on every passage found in this book that are also on the list of passages Calvinists use. John 1:13 is one verse that is examined, and Hamilton seemed to have a very compelling interpretation for this text. He ...

Steve, I have some questions for you. The early church made clear what they viewed as to be doctrinally correct and the rest was viewed as heresy. Where is the truth that the you think is being with held from us out of fear of someone getting into trouble? If it is not being taught in one of the dif...

Every time I go back to see if Steve has responded to what I have posted in the topic of "The Gold Teeth," the thread doesn't appear. However, as I login, click on Steve's posts, and then click on his post in the Gold Thread topic, then it appears. When I go back to the main forum board, all the sud...

The question is, however, what must take place to be elect? Calvinists proclaim that it is God's choice [alone] of ...

When it comes to the concept of election, Ephesians 1:4 is a passage that first comes to mind (among other passages). Some consider it to be one of the clearer passages in the New Testament speaking about election that exists during the the New Covenant age. Consequently, when discussing this biblic...

Hey Paidion, I appreciate reading your posts, as they sometimes put things into a perspective that I haven't seen before. Your example here in this thread is one of them. However, I still await your explaination of Jesus' actions in the temple and his calling some of the religious leaders things suc...

Some make the Bible their authority. I make Christ my authority.
