The deity of Christ?

Congratulations! You have reached a new low in posting lies about non-Calvinists.

 

I stopped it when I saw Steven Anderson. I felt like I was watching a propaganda film.

Who would take this video seriously?

 

The Holy Spirit draws all men to God some reject His drawing, they quench the Holy Spirits calling. They resist the calling of the Holy Spirit. Many pastors will tell you when God began calling them to the ministry they resisted the call, the same with mankind and resisting the call of the Spirit to salvation they reject it.

The natural man that is the unsaved man cannot understand the things of the Spirit why because they haven't been spiritually born. If you weren;t born into a specific culture then what they do in that culture is foolishness to you. If you were raised and taught the Calvanist view all other teaching is foolishness to you doesn't mean it is wrong it means you weren't taught that way. For an Arminian the Calvanist doctrine is wrong again doesn't make it wrong but that is not what they were taught.
When a person is born Spiritually they begin to understand the things of the Spirit why because now they can discern them through the Holy spirit who now indwels them and the Spiritual life they have from accepting Christ.

 

Adhering to core essentials of Christian faith is orthodox.

 

Who posted it? Mr Pink over here.

 

Your playing both ends against the middle. I was not born into Arminian or Calvinist doctrines.

 

It does seem pretty straight forward to me. I have received the Lord Jesus Christ. I have humbly submitted and obeyed the GOspel. Thanks for asking.

What I am not finding in the Scriptures is this teaching:

Specifically, I am not finding the text saying God foreknew the choice I would make. Rather, I am finding the text saying "For whom He did foreknow.."

It seems to me that we would be reading into the text to have it mean, "God knew the choice.."

If the english is correct to the Greek tense and pronoun (and I believe it is) then this telling me that God foreknew persons, not decisions. It is telling me that the people(persons) God knew, these same people He also predestined.

 

Love a confident Guy in a Tuxedo! You go Pinkie, you go! LOL!

 

God knew us before the foudation of the earth, Christ said in Luke 12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. God knosw the exact number of hairs on your head therefore He knew the choices you would make. Christ made it clear that God knows everything.

Matthew 5: 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Psalms 139: 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
God knew DAvid before He was ever born and knew the choices he would make. 14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

 

OK revmwc :

Do you believe in Radical Depravity as it applies to the Doctrines Of Grace.....are all men by nature sinners in your view?

 

Hard to think of a Christian not believing in the divinity of Christ, that is kinda the whole point, isn't it? I'm aware some wish to claim the label Christian without the divinity, but John seems to me to have handled this in his epistles and gospel.

 

I believe in the total depravity of men. That all humanbeings are born with an OLd Sin Nature in them passed from father to children. That Christ had no Old Sin Nature because he had no earthly father. That He was truly God and truly man. Two natures in one person, the nature of God and the created Nature of man.
I also believe there are no degrees of punishment for the unbeliever. That of course is another subject.

 

Drive-by poster here.

Just wanted to drop in to ask, if our election is based on God's foreseeing my faith and my choice of Jesus as savior, didn't I elect myself?

Oh, so I don't ignore the OP, when an Arminian says he believes in the deity of Christ, I believe him.

 

The more I read about Calvin and the more I read posts by Calvinists on this BB the more convinced I am that Calvin was very wrong.

Now about the OP. I strongly believe in free-will ... the Calvinists have convinced me this is the correct belief. And about the deity of Christ this is what I say ....

"Christ was God in human form or earth."

In another thread I said this and ask a Calvinist if he believed this is a true statement. He responded with smoke and mirrors. I have yet to have a Calvinist agree that Christ was God in human for on earth. So, up to this time it seems to me that Calvinist have not agreed to Christ's deity. However I expect it was just that individuals standard non reply to questions. I believe, and I hope I am correct, that both camps acknowledge Christ's deity.

Blessings.
