Forum: Predestinarian Doctrine

In the below "you-tube" clip. you will hear this question asked of R.C. Sproul. After viewing the clip you will notice that R.C. never directly answers the question, however confound the question with clever subterfuge and sophistry. Cheap lying politicians answer in the same way as to not...

Hey All. So to be honest here Ive been struggling with my beliefs, I know they are true I cannot deny what I believe. However, I have these beliefs in a sovereign God one who sent His Son to die for His Children, whom he choose and called, who is in control over all things yet what do I do now?...

All of us (most of us) became "fans" of the Supralapsarian page on FaceBook. Bob (Robert Higby), mentioned something in that page and I quote: I think this statement is right on. Strangely enough, coincidentally I found this book in the Internet, which I am presently reading, written by a man...

We have touched on this subject in many threads but I don't think we have ever had a thread exclusively devoted to the question.

Acts 18:5-11 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean; from...

We know that God in His sovereign will causes awful disasters like what happened in Haiti, for His own glory. Can we discern the reason for such happenings other than acknowledging (perhaps reluctantly) than that it is His will or that ultimate blessing (temporal & eternal) may result in the...

As a High Sovereign Grace Predestinarian, how would you respond if an atheist was to call you and asked about Isaiah 45:7? Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Watch the two videos and give me your thoughts and...

This thread will renew debate on a question that is old to this forum but virtually never asked by any sect of Christianity. It is timely and relevant to discuss this issue fairly often, considering the historical dogma involved. The doctrine of God's immutability is what is at stake here.

The teaching of ‘New Covenant Theology” (i.e. J. Reisinger) is that the Body of Christ was not established until Pentecost, the advent of the Holy Spirit and that OT believers were not a part of the Body of Christ until that time. His reasoning: 1. A believer ‘gets’ into the Body of...

This 30 minute video is a teaching on Double Predestination. A false teaching of Double Predestination. Six minutes and 30 seconds into the video he attacks Equal Ultimacy. How does one actually believe in Double Predestination and reject Equal Ultimacy? He also teaches the God passively hardens...

1Ti 3:15 but if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how men ought to behave themselves in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. It seems that this verse states that the house of God is the Church of the only living God, which is...

Is debating doctrines is profitless?

~JM~ recently posted on his blog, and since it's been a while since we've gone here, I thought I would kick up the dust: Of course my contention would be that most of the people throughout the ages who have been so kind as to dictate to the "church" what the canon is, were...

This thread will be a discussion of the extent to which the theory of evolutionism (and liberal skepticism in general) is owed to the theology of autonomous man.

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek; for in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; even as it has been written, "But the just shall live by faith." (LITV Ro.1:16-17). ...

Was Adam perfectly righteous before the fall or did he need Christ's imputed righteousness to be saved? This is one aspect of MCT that I need a little help understanding. Which scriptures do we turn to for better understanding on this issue? Thanks. j
