Cheryl, “So why is it that God did not take the complete payment of Jesus at the cross and put it to your account at the time that Jesus died? Was His payment not full and complete at that time?” Le

Cheryl, First I will respond to some of your comments regarding the nature of the atonement and after that I will move on to your last two lots of exegetical points. “You keep saying that only a spe

1. “No. [Romans 1:18](logos4:///Bible/Ro 1.18) doesn’t say that all men suppress the truth. But the passage says that those who deliberately suppress the truth, God gives them up. Here is a descriptio

Cheryl, I understand that you believe in a sin nature from Adam and Greg does not, but the logical conclusion of what you are saying leads to the same path. You say we have the ability as unregenerat

Cheryl, I will answer your question which is ” How can your sins have been forgiven by the atonement of Christ yet you were still called a sinner and in need of being regenerated because of your sin?

Kay About [Eph 2](logos4:///Bible/Eph 2). Look again at what we are predestined for. It is not simply that the way to salvation is predestined (as Arminius taught) but us. We are chosen in Christ be

Dave, I’m still not following with the commandments line? I’m not sure what you are trying to say in regards to Genesis. Cheryl, I appreciate your lengthy resposes and i also appreciate your will

Now video 5, Who exactly is the prosecution- JW or CBMW or both? That’s a side interest. Now the first thing to note is in [Acts 18](logos4:///Bible/Ac 18) it is ‘they’ who explain to Apollos. I’m

Cheryl, I’m quite astonished really. What makes Noah righteous? His own free-will? No I don’t think so. Was it not his faith? [Heb 11:7](logos4:///Bible/Heb 11.7) By faith Noah, being warned by God

Kristen, “Arminians (in general) believe that when God “draws” someone, God enables that person to make a true choice. The sinner’s desire is bent towards sin; God provides just enough power to pull,

Kay and Cheryl, I was never a hard core apologetic Armininan. I believed what i heard in churches, namely, that predestination is based on foreknowledge of our faith. I never had an issue with this,

continuing on… [Joh 6:26](logos4:///Bible/Jn 6.26) Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. [Joh

Hi all, Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year! Cheryl i have a response for that ‘question 1’ from way back so im just gunna post it hear…feel free to move it or whatever. Please know that

Dave, “Now, in regards to the use of the word “teach” and “authentein”, how can it be positive in this context? Paul is saying he does not permit it. Nowhere has Paul suggested that it is ok for anyo

Kay, Let me say first of all thankyou for actually addressing a text. But let me say I am unconvinced of your exegesis. After all if Paul here is talking ONLY about the nation of Israel being elect w

The comments are extensive so i will reply the best i can… 1. Obviously i believe that there is a ‘formal’ type gathering demonstrated in Pauls epistles, and many don’t. I have shown why i believe th

“But again I mentioned that [Romans 3](logos4:///Bible/Ro 3) is a quote from the OT where the context is the fool who says there is no God. Paul would not illegally use an OT quote to mean the opposit

OK let me say a few things… Cheryl, I very much appreciate your trust in the Spirit, but we must alsways keep in mind the auhtor’s intent/purpose/culture of their writings. What i find amazing aswe

Ok one last point since it regards universal language 1. [John 12:32](logos4:///Bible/Jn 12.32) (NASB) 32 “And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.” Is there any rea

Hi Cheryl, You asked me as one of your hard questions “Do you or do you not believe that [Ephesians 4:11](logos4:///Bible/Eph 4.11) gives “teacher” as a gift for the body of Christ?” The short answe

Sue, I admire your honestly regarding your bias. I think that is helpful for all to understand, so that when comments are made rejecting the BDAG for example because of bias, one can see that such an

Cheryl, Yes i did feel you were harsh or frustrated and i understand that, but i still do not believe that i am throwing a low ball or presenting logical fallicies. Very briefly i will respond in a h

Cheryl, I understand totally where you are coming from. But unfortunately there are just as many other commentaries to quote in opposition to your view. Bible exposition commentary “From the begin

Waneta, If you look closely at the Hebrew in [Genesis 3](logos4:///Bible/Ge 3), there is nothing in the grammar to suggest that Eve’s motive’s were good and Adam’s bad. In fact the ‘desire’ Eve has,

Cheryl, Thanks for your answers. A few more comments. 1. First off- good on you for correcting my wrong biblical quote, sorry about that. However I can’t see in [Num 14](logos4:///Bible/Nu 14) how t

Cheryl, I agree with you that people cannot come to God because they do not love Him. But I guess the difference is because I believe that unregenerate people are unable ([Rom 8:6-7](logos4:///Bible/

Cheryl, I appreciate where you are coming from. But first of all i have never deemed myself a ‘calvinist’ because simply it puts me into a theological bucket i don’t want to be in. Nor have i said th

Kay “Why do you assume that Paul’s phrase ” all israel is not israel” could only be refering to individuals and not groups?” Because that is the only thing that makes sense. What ‘groups’ within nat

Kay, Again let me commend you for addressing [Romans 1](logos4:///Bible/Ro 1). Can you state though at what point you disagree with me. Are you saying you agree that [Romans 1:18-3](logos4:///Bible/R

ok i think we need to clarify a few things… it seems like Dave and Cheryl are expecting me to find the term ‘office’ in the NT to back my claim. I have no intention of trying to prove such a thing be

Frank, You make this claim: 2. The insistence that kephale in [1 Cor 11:3](logos4:///Bible/1Co 11.3) must mean “authority over” and not “source” so as to weigh an argument in one’s favor against h

Craig, You can argue with Kostenberger over your issues, but your up against all the evidence. Here is what he saids… “These example set forth the NT evidence that ‘oude’ joins terms that denote act

Hi Kay, I am so glad you have responded, and equally glad that you agree that context is important. However you are making a serious error by assuming that ‘presbyterio’ always should translate ‘elde

Cheryl, Thank you for clarifying your question. Now i can see what it is you are asking. And please stop with your rhetorical hogwash, you sound like you’ve just stepped out of the 16th Century. Now

Hi Cheryl, Thankyou for your reply. A few observations. I have to disagree that i failed to answer the original question. What i attempted to do was distinguish between the different gifts because

Lmb, Good to have you engage in the conversation. Let me respond to your comment. You said “Actually it isn’t a stretch at all. In Greek a masculine plural is the grammatical form used for a group

Ok i have now watched video 2 and have a few thoughts/ comments. 1. I’m not very familiar with the Jw’s or there theology, so i can only go off what is presented in these videos. I do not agree that

Lin, Regarding your post # 169, remember that what i am saying is that i think Cheryl mis-quoted the CBMW. IF you don’t agree with me show me how she didn’t. If she has mis-quoted them, then her arg

Cheryl, thaankyou for your questions and answers, I see the garden as the place where God dwells with man- i think we would agree with this. I also agree that it was Adam and Eves home not God’s, for
