J. Edwards,

That was an awesome explanation and breakdown of the greek for that verse. Thanks for taking the time to explain it in such a scholarly manner. Even a non-greek person such as myself was able to follow your description very well. Thanks.

The sarcasm continues. But underneath the sarcasm is the plain denial that we all deserve hell for our sins, and that God is obligated to provide the means for us to escape the due punishment for them. Grace evidently can be demanded. God should just overlook our sins; after all, we would certainly...

Thanks bshow1 and Paidion, I just didn't understand how someone could be held responsible for something they had no choice in. Thats all. Pretty simple question I guess, but I get confused when reading some of the Calvinists as to how they view fairness. I look at it like this, if I told my kid to d...

Sorry to add this question if it has already been asked, but what is our purpose here on earth right now if there is no choices made by us regarding faith and belief in the Calvinist perspective? I mean, no matter what I do or don't do (or believe or don't believe), my fate has been determined accor...

You know what is awesome? The fact that my salvation is not based on me having a 100% understanding of all theological issues, including this one. I may be wrong in my current position of this topic (the non-Calvinist view), or you may (that being the Calvinists view), but we are all just trying to ...

J. Edwards, you wrote... "where before he was against Him, this is faith which also was given to him by God,Eph 2:8 "THIS is a gift of God" "This" is neuter and by necessity refers to salvation, grace and faith. " So faith is something that is given to me by God, and not a choice of mine? I don't ch...

I have to admit the letter confuses me in that he says at one point... "I am talking about those who are leaving Christ. " and then says... "Of course, as one who believes that a true Christian cannot ever lose their salvation, I believe that one who leaves the faith was not truly ever of the faith ...

Quick question for you all. I have always believed that the Bible taught that salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and "whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life".... So the Calvinist says that faith and belief are something that God "makes" a person do? W...

Paidion, Back to your orig. question "Does Matthew 24:34 really support Preterism?" I would have to say yes, and at the same time this does NOT mean that a futuristic perspective of Matt 24 is not valid either, possibly. And to tell you the truth, I believe that Matt 24 speaks of Christs 2nd coming ...

Steve7150, I agree bro! I did not elaborate on that particular point, but I agree with you 100% :) It is good to talk with someone as you and find that maybe I am not the only one that understands the binding of satan and the future tribulation in regards to a "deception" of the all the nations afte...
