Steve, I find what you wrote fascinating, and really can not find fault. You have given me a lot to consider. The last few years have been a total shift in much that I had felt was "written in stone", i.e. eternal punishment, election, reprobate and etc. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to...

Steve, I appreciate what you have taken the effort to write, and believe you have made very good arguments for your position on 1 Cor. 2:14 and Ephesians 2:8-9. Though, I think your presuppositions have determined your exegesis of Eph. 2:1-7 and the Ezek. 36 passages. I was sitting reading a comment...

Hi Homer, Small world, one of my sons is a school teacher in Sanger. People who live in this area brag about spring and fall, where as summer and winter (heat and fog) can be less then desirable. If you read some of the posts I have written lately, you can readily ascertain that I believe that God m...

Steve, I will try and space things out and generally try a more discipline way of expressing my self. Steve you wrote, "Of course, we may be meaning different things by exegesis. Calvinists often think it primarily has to do with parsing Greek words and phrases. In that sense, much of my work is not...

Steve, Obviously, I did not agree with what you call an exegesis of the passages of 1Cor. 2:14 and Romans 3:10-18, it seems more as your opinion, especially the comments of Romans 3. A good example would be “... those who are wedded to that view find ingenious explanations that turn seemingly harmle...

JOHN W. GREGSON writes: God's Spirit is the great Converter of souls, Charles Spurgeon said, "The power that is in the Gospel does not lie in the eloquence of the preacher, otherwise men would be the converters of souls, nor does it lie in the preacher's learning, otherwise it would consist in the w...

Steve wrote: " On this forum, there has been much discussion of these verses, especially in the "Calvinism..." category. When context is considered, I don't think that either 1 Corinthians 2 nor Roman 3 can legitimately be used to establish the points that Calvinists employ them to prove." 1 Corinth...

If "Crucify him!" is the only human response to Christ, I wonder why so many of the people of Galilee and Judea who never became Christians never seemed interested in killing Him? Did the five-thousand that He fed call for His crucifixion? Steve, I am not suggesting that "crucify Him" is the only r...

Paidion, That is a good question, but before we get the "horse before the cart", does Scripture state that the "natural man can not receive the things of the Spirit"(1 Cor. 2:14) and does Romans 3:11-12 really mean what it states, 11there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. 12All have t...

Steve, I would be of the latter persuasion. There are a few of us who hold to a strong belief in God’s sovereignty and yet believe He will eventually reveal Himself to all of mankind who has ever lived. This is not to say that man is not responsible for his actions, and may go through a period of pu...
