When do we become "Beloved?"
Romans 9:25 NASB
as He also says in Hosea:
“I WILL CALL THOSE WHO WERE NOT MY PEOPLE, ‘MY PEOPLE,’
AND HER WHO WAS NOT BELOVED, ‘BELOVED.’”
One school of thought is that God chose individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world based on their interpretation of Ephesians 1:4. Thus it follows, that all those individuals became beloved and God's people before the foundation of the world.
However Romans 9:25 presents a difficulty with that view, people not previously chosen to... -
Enabling Hermeneutics
The idea is to use methods or practices that allow us to translate the intended message into our understanding of that message.
When we first began to study God's word, we were unbound by the inherent constraints of our presumptive "truths" adopted too early in our growth in understanding. Later, like the removal of blinders, we must push past "unstudied truths" that we were comfortable with, and also not let pride hinder recognition of error, our rookie mistakes.
When one of our "beloved... -
Jack Hyles Versus John R. Rice
For those who don't know the background, John R. Rice (1896-1980) was a leading fundamentalist; in my view he was one of the founding fathers of the movement, author of over 200 books and pamphlets. He strongly opposed the KJVO movement.
Jack Hyles (1926-2001) was a megachurch pastor and preached together with JRR for many years in the local and national Sword of the Lord conferences on soul winning and revival. Until 1980, Hyles never took a KJVO position, but after Rice's death, Hyles... -
Ordain?
Often I see advocates of one doctrine or another claim God "ordained" the doctrine, leaving the actual meaning of the word "ordain" up to the reader.
Now the KJV translates "Diatasso" (G1299) as "ordain" or "ordained" three times in their translation version, but the Greek word actually appears about 16 times in the New Testament. The three verses are 1 Corinthians 7:17 1 Corinthians 9:14 and Galatians 3:19.
The Greek word is compound and its roots mean "through" "arrangement." The idea... -
Why did God Arrange the Fall?
Numerous threads have been posted which as far as I know never offer a solid answer from scripture.
Did God desire to send the fallen to Hades and Gehenna? Nope,
Eze 18:32
“For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies,” declares the Lord GOD. “Therefore, repent and live!”
Psalms 5:4
For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness;
No evil can dwell with You.
So why did God arrange the fall?
First we must ask why did God choose to create humanity in the first place.... -
Why did God create the tree of knowledge of good and evil if . . . ?

Catholic Magical Mystery Tours
I guess that I am not surprised … that a church that is worldwide would still author events like this! Just take a look at the costumes, the fanatics of these brainwashed audience's, all the doctrine and the drama (or should I say trauma.) Still, there are 8 RC Churches in my general area with dwindling numbers of parishioners and no Baptist Churches of any sort. what in fact is Gods plan… can this really be a ligitimat church with Bible paths to Christ? I mean really?!?... -
The Reformers - The Doctrine of Drawing - And Serious Error?
The Reformed of whatever denominational flavor seems to think that God was laying out a program for the ages when John quoted Jesus saying, "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." I know that he was not laying out a program for the ages.
One thing I am sure of and that is that God the Father did not draw a single Reformed believer in the same manner as he drew those Jews in John 6. I would be interested to see how a... -
Lydia's Conversion
What I see here is God's sovereignty and human free choice working together. There is no conflict between the two.
Acts 16:14 - And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently...
