    Terricca…….So you believe these people were all products of “rightious” people right?

    Rom 3:9-12…….> What then are we better then they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are “ALL” under sin.10, There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God. 12, They are all gone out of the…[Read more]

    Kerwin……bottom line is that our own so-called wills there are supposed to be free don’t exist. Because no, not one will is altogether free. Again as I have said over and over here I am not talking about God allowing us to exercise our “Captivated” will, but the actual wills themselves. Common sense tell us that if a will was truly free, it…[Read more]

    Hi
    We are told the sabbath is a “sign” between God and his people. So what is the great sign mentioned there, what spritual significants is being implied?

    If we look at it from a physical stand point, it says “six days you shall work and the seventh day you shall rest, ceasing from all “your” works. GOD was establishing a spritual principal,…[Read more]

    T8…..The way it is written it does imply it is “impossible” to go to Jesus without the Father causing it to happen. Your words are not in alignment with those scriptures but you are making a case for your false assumptions of a person by his “own” so-called “freewill” efforts can do it on his own and as a result can take credit for his own…[Read more]

    Nick……….All trinitarians  would naturally disagree with him, because it takes down much of what the believe in. It also supports much of what we believe in  and shows that the original teachings of the church was an adoptionist  view point was we believe also.

    Terricca……. Pierre , then what does this mean to you brother,  “NO” man “CAN”, COME UNTO ME” except the Father  “Draw” him.”.

    Nick…….So he who condemns another condemns himself also,  seeing he does the same things. Right?

    kerwin believes we should keep the commandments of God, so did Jesus also.  He did not say by works of law (forced compliance) but he meant by the operation of the Spirit of God in us. IMO
