God COMMANDS all people in the world not to sin. God COMMANDS all people to LOVE GOD and LOVE NEIGHBOR.

Why do NON-Calvinist believe that when GOD COMMANDS something that is his ACTUAL WANT and SINCERE DESIRE?
When God COMMANDS all people not to sin.....Does he REALLY, REALLY, sincerely and actually want them NOT TO SIN and be SAVE?

Does GOD desire that ALL PEOPLE in the world be SAVED!?

Satan's lie:
All of your sins (past, present, future)
have been forgiven

“For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his OLD sins.” (2 Peter 1:9, NKJV)
>>> “OLD sins” is also in the KJV, RSV, NLT, AMP

“… having forgotten his purification from his FORMER sins.” (2 Peter 1:9, NASB)
>>> “FORMER sins” is also in the ESV

“… forgetting that they have been cleansed from their PAST sins.” (2 Peter 1:9, NIV)
>>> “PAST sins” is...

Virtually all obscene or profane words, phrases, & terms in American English were once in common, every day usage as non-onscene, with the exception, of course, of using God's names or titles wrongly. Even the "F-Bomb" was in everyday language, meaning "to pierce", with no sexual connotations. For example, the kestrel, one of the few birds that can fly against a stout wind, was called the "windpiercer, with the F-word in place of "-piercer". (This was in the Middle English of the 11 &...

In another thread the charge has been made that some believe faith is a meritorious work. The type of faith in question is saving faith as used in Ephesians 2:8. If faith is a work on the part of man than it cannot justify (save). As a Calvinist I believe that faith itself is a gift and is a result of regeneration. But take the Calvinist view out of the mix. Is there anyone who considers faith to be meritorious?

Part 34: The image of the Beast speaks

One of the many identifying traits of the Antichrist and his members is that of false miracles, called lying wonders (2 Thess. 2:8-9; Rev. 13:13-15).

Although Pentecostals have their feigned miracle workers, such as Benny Hinn, nothing and no one compares to the Roman Catholic Church in this regard. The countless legends, myths and fables of alleged apparitions, miracles and miracle workers have no equal, whether considering all professing Christendom...

Those who truly love God obey Him by resisting temptations to sin!

On another thread a member introduced a term...the Elijah syndrome....I only I am left.

I have not heard this term before and find it interesting.

My view is that any interpretation or position that is unique to an individual is bound to be wrong. Perhaps technically this is "playing the odds", but I always cautioned those I have taught that a new interpretation of teaching that has been around for over 2k years is bound to be problematic.

My concern is when people arrive at individual...

Any time that some truth which is held in balance in God’s word is given an emphasis on only one side, then misunderstanding and error result. It is true, as the Calvinists emphasize, that election in eternity past is unconditional. But the neglected Biblical balance is this: salvation in this temporal world is conditional, and God blesses no one with the saving, justifying, regenerating, life-giving union with Christ until they drop their rebellion, humble themselves, and come in genuine,...

There seems to be a habit among some Calvinists saying that they are not Calvinists. They claim to be Mongergists soteriologically but distance themselves from the Calvinist label. In my conversations (on and offline), the two most popular reasons for rejecting the Calvinist moniker are 1. The scorn they receive over the term from Christians who are not Calvinists. 2. Disagreement with John Calvin on his other beliefs. Charles Spurgeon had no problem describing himself as a Calvinist because...
