I think you meant "no." The question was in a bit of a double negative. You believe it's "resistable," right -- not "irresistable."

You are correct. Sorry I missed the "ir" in front of resistable.

Like I said, it was past my bed time. :oops:

Article 8—Of Free Will The condition of man after the fall of Adam is such that he cannot turn and prepare himself, by his own natural strength and works, to faith, and calling upon God; wherefore we have no power to do good works, pleasant and acceptable to God, without the grace of God by Christ p...

Bob asked: For the non-Calvinists here, I would ask the following questions: 1) Do you agree with Article 8 above? If not, why not? Is my follow-on comment about the necessity of prevenient grace correct? 2) Where is prevenient grace taught in the scripture? 3) Is prevenient grace given to all men e...

Mine is also a late addition to this thread. A question for Padion, or others: Could the deception of the nations which we currently see be related to the "little while" that Satan is loosed near the end of the millenium? (although I would hasten to add that the spread of the gospel in other places ...

I don't see how God is thus glorified for how things turn out. b) If all future choices are somehow "out there" for God to foresee, then in some sense they are "set" ...

Thanks, Homer. I was hoping you would let us in on your secret. BTW, I have enjoyed immensely getting together with Lee every Wednesday night. He and I think a lot alike.

Responses to two of Dr. White's statements in his comments about today's broadcast linked above: 1. "I asked a direct and relevant question (which Mr. Gregg has yet to respond to), "Does Jesus intercede for the non-elect?" I did not ask it like Gregg was asking his questions, 'Does Jesus intercede f...

Steve, Thanks for the explanation of Phil 1:29, especially the historical and geographical background. I was aware of both Paul's dream to go to Troas and Lydia's faithfulness to what she knew but hadn't ever connected the two. Makes a lot of sense that way. Much more than a polemic on "the gift of ...

Did I actually hear Dr. White call the relationship between the Lord and his followers "reciprocal" (as in synergistic)? I thought it was all God and not us. Ad hominem attacks again, stating that Robert Shank is a "horrible resource" and, by implication, that anyone who believes as Shank does must ...
