Nick….the SOVEREIGNTY of God is over ALL THINGS including SATAN. You said God was not in everyone that is also wrong because if the spirit goes back to him that gave it, then it must be His Spirit then. And God gives to every man a measure of faith. You under estimate God's Power and SOVEREIGNTY. imo……….gene

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 06 2008,11:11)Hi 94, Love is graceNick…..thats not the definition of the word GRACE, look it up before you commit on it. You will find it says, It's God's influencing on our hearts and minds. A powerful force that changes the way we look at things and that in turn causes us to do thing differently.

942767….> the problem is you really don't know if Demas was actually converted your assuming that but he may of Just been like the seed that fell into the weeds and at first he was excited for the kingdom, but the cares of the world and new things chocked the word and he became unfruitful. He just might not been good ground, as many are. At one…[Read more]

Nick…..Yes we would make more progress, but when they are given and you ignore them then no progress can be made right.

Nick….I am not saying because we have the ability to recognize truth that that automatically changes us, it is a process, but with out that Spirit the process could never begin. Please don't misunderstand what i am saying. We must be given the words of God by someone and we by the Spirit are able to receive them into our being, Paul plainly…[Read more]

94707………….You have it exactly right. Man learns and what He learn causes him to chooses what he chooses, (Cause and Effect). and He will only do whats in Him. There is No Such thing as (FREE) Will, as science and psychologists have proved. It has never been disproved either. Man will is expressed by whats in Him, nothing Free about it.…[Read more]

WJ….then are we to presume more then on Will will be done in the kingdom of God . If man is a so-called free moral agent……then will he always be that, able to express His (OWN) Will separate of God then, because after all according to your theory That the way God wants him to be. If that were the case God would not have to indwell us,…[Read more]

gollanudi…….i never really look into that subject very much. But i will tell you what i think, Spirit is Just intellect and all intellect comes from God and when we die it goes back to him who gave it, and can never be destoryed because it comes from God and Goes back to Him, But the soul is you, your personality and particular distinct traits…[Read more]

Nick….you still don't understand God Gives repentance to a man, Do you think those people who were saying Crucify Him a few days later on their own said men and brothers what do we do, seeing we crucified the son of God, was it their own repentance at work. NO,It was the Holy Spirit convicting them of there sins, that caused them to repent.…[Read more]

942767….Grace is not what most think, they think it means unmerited Pardonand while that is implied that is not its strong meaning though, Grace is defined as God influencing the heart or mind. Most think it deals with just forgiveness of sin. But scripture show Jesus was a man full of (GRACE) divine influence was causing Jesus to do the things…[Read more]

chosenone…..totally right, It God's the Fathers Work It was Him who was working in Jesus also, on God In all and Through all. Man despises the absolute SOVEREIGNTY OF OUR GOD>And Jesus' God Also. He is the one who CREATES and Brings forth Salvation in ALL his CREATION , ALONE. Glory and Honor To the Creator of Salvation. Our Father there is none…[Read more]

Nick…….it's will that none parish and with His power none will. People don't understand God can get inside our minds and straighten out our thinking and if He doesn't the person will never in a million years change himself.

Nick…….if when a person dies he is then resurrected then why is there a another resurrection at the time of Jesus return, called the first resurrection.

942767….Yes it was you i was addressing, sorry chosenone.

Chosenone…..Read where Jesus Peter who He was and what caused that to happen and what (POWER) would build the church, You will fine it's God Power alone who is the true builder of the Church.

Nick…….so it doesn't say God concluded All under SIN that He might Have Mercy on ALL. right, And it doesn't that Christ died for the sins of the WORLD, right, And it doesn't say the God has laid the Sins of us all on Jesus right, and it doesn't say the whole creation will be delivered from the bondage of corruption, Right, and it doesn't say…[Read more]

Adam….Did you notice that Nick never once mentioned the Father as having any part in this as if God is incapable of saving who soever He chooses to .That is denial of the power and will of God. But we are told it's God that leads men to Christ. not mans own free will. Many joint the rank of supposedly converted but, what does it say, they…[Read more]

Nick….the gospel started with the Jews, they rejected it and it went after that into all the world, as Paul said. Jesus did instruct His apostles to go unto the LOST Sheep of house of Israel tho.Paul said the original apostles were sent to the circumcision and He to the gentiles.

Nick……face it you hate the fact that God will save ALL, You can't stand that because it Kills your (SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS) You want all of us to think we save our selves, face it quite beating around the bush. Thank God it isn't your opinions He goes by.Mandy…. >your right if it was by works, the man on the cross would be left out then, even if…[Read more]
