Quote (Gene Balthrop @ July 18 2010,04:33)-martian ……….Good points, barely, have you ever considered that the words Just (is implying the justified) and the word Un-Just is implies the un-justified and act of being in the position of something.  We are told the Just live By Faith in Christ, not by their works of righteousness. Just wanted…[Read more]

Quote (Cato @ July 24 2009,01:31)Thank You Theodore, respectful, thoughtful dialogue is what I expect from your posts and I see that this hasn't changed.As to the issue, if God is perfect and infallible, and he designed and created man, then man's imperfections and faults were evidently part of the design and quite predictable.  In other words,…[Read more]

Quote (Cato @ July 23 2009,22:15)What judgements were made?  I asked a question.  Is God infallible?  I believe he is, I believe God is incapable of mistake: he is all knowing, all powerfull.  As such he would have no grief or regret for everything he does is good and with purpose.  Yet Genesis clearly expresses that God regreted making man and…[Read more]

Quote (Cato @ July 23 2009,01:15)Many view God as Omnipotent and Omniscient, in short perfect and infallible, yet the writer/s of Genesis seem to disagree.  It is clear in Gen 6:6-7  The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the f…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ May 05 2006,15:38)Quote (Sammo @ May 05 2006,05:31)What I meant was, that even if Joseph and Pharaoh were 'co-equal' in the sense that they were both men (as Jesus might be co-equal to God in the sense that they were of the same 'kind'), they certainly weren't 100% the same being (as Jesus and the Father are said to both be 100%…[Read more]

Quote (malcolm ferris @ May 05 2006,13:58)True, trueRev 22 is often used to support the idea that Jesus is co-equal, supposedly the Throne of God and the Lamb is proof of this.I would venture to say that it is a joint throne but not co-equality.The twenty four elders spoken of in the book of Revelation have their thrones as well.  In the KJV, it…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ July 20 2010,01:27)barely…………I am going to slow this down. First there is (NO) scripture that says we have a free will (IN) us. Now the rem free will is to say it is a will that is (FREE) , So if we consider the word free attached to our wills, then that is to say our will are free of any influences of any kind, but…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ July 18 2010,13:47)barley……. You have completely misunderstood what i was saying.  So you are saying Jesus was lying when He said ” (NO) man can come unto me (EXCEPT) the Father DRAW HIM.

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ July 18 2010,06:18)barley…………..Man separate of God will never chose God's will on his own. Jesus even said (NO) man (CAN) come unto me unless the Father draw Him.

Quote (chosenone @ July 18 2010,05:59)“The myth of free will”, posted by gollamudi, makes some very good points.  I believe this article hits the nail on the head.  We do not have free will.  We do not control our destiny.  “All is of god” (Ro.11:36)   …seeing that out of Him and through Him and for Him is all: to Him be the glory for the eons…[Read more]
