I now understand where you are coming from and tend to agree with you. I, too, believe that the reason Christians believe different things is that the Spirit...
We are going through 1 Corinthians in our church, and last week we were in chapter 3, where Paul says: Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as...
David, I think Calvin's comments get to the matter quite nicely. I think that Paul's phrases "as to spiritual men," "as to men of the flesh," and "as to...
Brothers and Sisters, I have a rather challenging opportunity coming up in 3 weeks. I have been asked to make a brief exegetical and theological presentation...
Graham, I agree that the question seems to be a bit odd, however, after reading a fascinating article by Robert Zerhusen "A new look at tongues" (Alliance of...
I kinda feel like, "always a bridesmaid; never a bride" -- always a lurker; never a contributor. I've gotta step from out of the lurky shadows on this one. ...
Rod, Do you have a URL to post that would link to the article you mentioned? I would like to read the article, if it is available on-line. Thanks. A. B....
Alan, Here are the links you asked for. http://www.starwire.com/partner/Article_Display_Page/0,,PTID307086|CHID560462|CIID1415640,00.html You and others may...
I've been having a discussion with a friend who says he believes in predestination and election, but can't see irresistable grace. I would have thought that...
... In favour or against? ;o) I think it's actually quite an acceptable view. The fact that one follows from the other does not necessitate that both are...
Sorry, this answer is not short but it is from Piper's Church: Blessings, Leo Bethlehem Baptist Church Staff March, 1985 Revised March, 1998 Irresistible Grace...
I would agree with you David that irresistable grace is affirmed in the texts you cited, as well as others (e.g. 1 Cor. 1:18-31; 2 Thess. 2:13-14; Matt....
If you would like to lsiten to my son Daniel's classical guitar music, or even purchase a copy, you can find him at this site his little brother David has set...
The background: A man from The Navigators came to our young adults bible study group and told them they should listen for God speaking to them. Many of the...
<<I am interested to hear your thoughts on How God speaks today. ... I know we are not supposed to trust our experiences as much as we do the word of God but I...
... David, The two articles were interesting and I think he provides a helpful balance. I don't personally "seek God's will" in the sense of hearing directly...
... I think that it is difficult to say definitively that God was speaking when an idea popped into my head. Looking back, I believe I can see God has been...
... I agree. But does that mean that we shouldn't be open to God speaking in these kind of ways? If what we're after is a "word from the Lord" that we can hang...
G'day Graham I am of course not saying that God can't speak to us directly today, or even that he doesn't. But I am saying that I think we should not be...
<<I am of course not saying that God can't speak to us directly today, ... I agree with the statement that we should not seek to hear him in any other way...
Graham, I may have missed something along the way, particularly as it bears upon your statement: "I disagree with Piper in thinking that Gary Friesen's book'...
... here ... Yeah, I can see how that would be ambiguous. Sorry! :o) I think Friesen's book is (mostly) excellent. However, I went to the DGM website to find...
I know this isn't really a prayer group, but I was hoping you all could pray anyway. Hurricane Ivan is heading for me. I live in Fort Walton Beach, FL which...
Shannon, I will definitely be praying. My stepdaughter and her husband and their 2 kids live north of Pensacola and evacuated last night, so we have been ...
Shannon, We will be praying as well. I am sure that many of the Lord's people are upholding the situation in the South. Blessings,' Leo ... [Non-text portions...
