Westminster Confession.
5/1. God, the great Creator of all things, doth uphold,a direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things,b from the greatest even to the least,c by his most wise and holy providence,d according to his infallible fore-knowledgee and the free and immutable counsel of his own will,f to the praise of the glory of his wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy.g
a. Heb 1:3. • b. Psa 135:6; Dan 4:34-35; Acts 17:25-26, 28; Job 38-41 throughout. • c. Mat 10:29-31. • d. Psa 104:24; 145:17; Prov 15:3. • e. Psa 94:8-11; Acts 15:18. • f. Psa 33:10-11; Eph 1:11. • g. Gen 45:7; Psa 145:7; Isa 63:14; Rom 9:17; Eph 3:10.2. Although in relation to the foreknowledge and decree of God, the first cause, all things come to pass immutably and infallibly,a yet by the same providence he ordereth them to fall out, according to the nature of second causes, either necessarily, freely, or contingently.b
a. Acts 2:23. • b. Gen 8:22; Exod 21:13 with Deut 19:5; 1 Kings 22:28, 34; Isa 10:6-7; Jer 31:35. 3. God, in his ordinary providence, maketh use of means,a yet is free to work without,b above,c and against them,d at his pleasure.

You are right Lurker your response reminded me

...appeal to the bible to justify... 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. |

...Pastor's stance on homosexuality I am 100% sure... 1. Matthew Henry is a commentator, NOT scripture.
If you forget that, you will find yourself in Pastor Chuck's shoes, given to man's opinion over God's. Who knows? You might be the next one to burn Servatus at the stake or sue someone $500,000 for defaming YOUR character. Look at what Jesus says in the Gospel of Matthew in the Bible (not commentary) 18:21-35 When Peter asked Him the same question you just did. I also appreciate the Mormon stance on Homosexuality, but the Gospel they preach is poison. For you to be 100% sure, would mean you have "inside information". Interesting. You quote M. Henry like C. O'Neal does, and you have insider information too to match your ego BigLugs. If you aren't C. O'Neal you could be his twin. Gal6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. May God continue His Mercy on us and not give us what we deserve, and we truly understand the Grace He gave which NONE can earn. Repent and Believe - it really is true! |

... If these accusations are only malicious lies, than Julie doesn't appear to be much of a Christian and the prohibitions in 1 Corinthians 6 wouldn't apply. BTW, what is a 'Dispy'... a dispensationalist? Well then, Love your enemy does apply then! Why are you so bent on accusing her and finding her fault londonderrry? I've been reading her blog today, and following her links and reading the material on those linked to sites. This Pastor lied about being "told to bring legal action" on these people by Grace Community Church or... the people ((a Pastor at Grace Community Church) who "told him" he should bring a law suit are lying about it now. Also, I'm not saying this lady is a Rose Parade, and I am concerned when I don't see clear and distinct evidence of her "point being" leading others to Christ, not just pointing out a wolf. Yes Dispy = Dispensationalist.
Reason I cry cult? Classic Dispensationalism is anti-Trinitarian. Why?
Since the Holy Spirit leaves the earth at the pre-trib Rapture, and then later many people are saved during "the tribulation", then they are saved without the Holy Spirit (who already left). This =Trinity Fail. And suggests Salvation is possible apart from God all 3 Persons = Cult |

Folks, before we start in with the same old same old of criticizing everything...
How about being challenged by what this man is doing! How much Scripture do YOU have memorized? What are you working on right now? We can all grow in this area, I'm sure. Thats right! |

The first criteria any Bible that is to be used in a church pew, is it in good contemporary English? It should automatically be excluded if it isn't.

Hey your a little slow today, I noticed a thread you hadn't posted your anti-kjv stuff on yet. I won't tell you which one, I'm sure you'll find it. |

"God from all eternity did, by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass;[a] yet so as thereby neither is God the author of sin,[b] nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures, nor is the liberty or contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established.[c][a] Rom 9:15, 18; 11:33; Eph 1:11; Heb 6:17.
[b] James 1:13, 17; 1 John 1:5.
[c] Prov 16:33; Mat 17:12; John 19:11; Acts 2:23; 4:27-28. "Although God knows whatsoever may or can come to pass upon all supposed conditions,[a] yet hath he not decreed anything because he foresaw it as future, or as that which would come to pass upon such conditions.[b] [a] 1 Sam 23:11-12; Mat 11:21, 23; Acts 15:18.
[b] Rom 9:11, 13, 16, 18. WCF ch.3
------ Jonathan Edwards does an excellent job in his book Freedom of the Will showing that the concept of ultimate human self-determination is philosophically contradictory and thus impossible. |

#2 Read more slowly, and take it all in, rather than making your doctrine from just one section.
e) Who are his ELECT, eh?
f) Answer - Only the Lord knows John me ole stack o'beansJohn Calvin said on Acts 2:39 "This place, therefore, doth abundantly refute the manifest error of the Anabaptists, which will not have infants, which are the children of the faithful, to be baptized, as if they were not members of the Church. They espy a starting hole in the allegorical sense, and they expound it thus, that by children are meant those which are spiritually begotten. But this gross impudency doth nothing help them. It is plain and evident that Peter spoke thus because God did adopt one nation peculiarly. And circumcision did declare that the right of adoption was common even unto infants. Therefore, even as God made his covenant with Isaac, being as yet unborn, because he was the seed of Abraham, so Peter teacheth, that all the children of the Jews are contained in the same covenant, because this promise is always in force, I will be the God of your seed." Aahh such a godly preacher of the Truth, Calvin was.
