to constantly reject the sovereignty of God over His creation only shows that one hates a sovereign God. To continually elevate man and to give him abilities he does not have goes against a sovereign God. To reject a sovereign God would cover the things I listed. I could say "dislike" if it...

Eph2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Eph2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Eph2:3 Among whom also we all had our...

Nah. It would be too much work. Besides, with the price of gas, it would cost too much to drive around on Saturdays and try to sell people pamphlets and books from the Watchtower.

As a kid was anyone ever around the kid that was always saying stuff like "mmmm, look what so and so did" or "listen to what so and so said" just to cause trouble? That is what the media is. That annoying little kid that would get the grownups worked up.

Too bad they didn't get that one stomped out. I wouldn't have to deal with Jehovah's Witnesses.

Just because God issues a command doesn’t mean one can do the command. Once God takes someone’s heart of stone and gives him a heart of flesh, “freeing the mans will” if you want to call it that, then that person will choose God. You are denying the condition of man. You have church history...

It is part of your churches history. Many, many, many, years before the split. If you appeal to your church fathers than this should be as equally valid.

That view was condemned by the Council of Orange. It proclaimed that the will has been corrupted and a servant of sin. It seems the Eastern Orthodox belief on the matter changed over the years.

Based on the Scriptures that Ter quoted above, they are as from Pelagianism as one can get. Which is why I said what I said. A long ways away from Pelagianism.

Mans "free will" is wholly corrupt and incapable of believing. Which is what the Council of Orange was about. It was to counteract and condemn the pelagian/semi-pelagian teachings that plagued the church then just as it does now. There is an effectual call. Jesus said so. Romans 12:3 read in...

I think she might have been the one that turned Biden into a newt. He hasn't gotten better.

I am glad that GLAAD is so tolerant of others beliefs.

It is the best. Wish it wasn't so expensive. Over a dollar a bottle in these parts.

I have been taking vitamin C for about a year. It seems to be working pretty good at helping me ward off colds. Right after Thanksgiving I started to come down with a cold but it went away after a few days. I was exposed to several sickly people during Thanksgiving. Sounds to me like the drug...

According to the Council of Orange man has a will but it is totally corrupt. A will that will never choose God unless it is first changed. A fact that is confirmed by Scripture as well. The only way that Will, will be set free to choose is by the Grace of God. Surely you don't believe that when...
