1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

i believe the bible teaches clearly that God's plan stands, yet men remain accountable for their own decisions.

i sense an itchy skitchy yamil dance coming on.

[Both of these words, "sovereign" and "eternal decree," with their peculiar Calvinist cultic definitions, are what drives the entire religious system.]

Psalm 148:4
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
Psalm 148:5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
Psalm 148:6
He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: *he hath made a decree which shall not pass.*

Psalm 33:11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

Proverbs 19:21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

Hebrews 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

oops, freewiller, i forgot, you base your doctrine on orwell, not the bible.

i doubt that you have been obedient to the commands of Christ.
can you say you have loved the Lord your God with all your heart soul mind and strength?
and your neighbour as yourself?

where is your self righteousness now.

as i have said, no wedding garment, no admittance.

why is it no surprise that you ally yourself with one whom most on this board treat as a stranger to grace?

alas, the folk here may pray for the salvation of you both, the one who believes that an empty profession will save, and the other who believes his/her own piety is the only ground for salvation.
you must believe the Lord got it wrong when He said "it is finished." in your accursed doctrine it wasn't. His work wssn't complete without your obedience. so much for Christ seeing the travail of His soul and being satisfied.

still not salvation by grace through faith, still heresy, still returning to vain works

surprised you get to read at all, or do you sit and type your mass posts into a word doc and then cut and paste.

i have to confess i have got tired following your daily rant against the doctrines of grace. i have no desire to even engage with you on that issue.

i am also tired reading jd's daily rant on eschatology. i have even less desire to engage him either.

i suppose you could call it victory to you and jd by default, or perhaps death by spam......

but to borrow a phrase, thats the way the cookie has crumbled in the fanciful land of the yamil.

anyway, blessings to you and yours.
i did view your blog. your children are little darlings (nearly as cute as mine!!!)

see you are still on your hobby horse.

Romans 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

away with your heresy. away, i say, away.

we'll see how you fair clothed in your own good works and not the righteousness of Christ on the judgment day. (i wouldn't like to be you.)

this claim to sinless perfection by you must make you either deluded or extremely bad. we are taught that the heart is decetful above all things, but i've never yet met anyone who claims that being born again means we no longer sin at all.

before you accuse me of telling others that there is security for those who live a life of disobedience, i say no such thing. no one living a life of wilful disobedience can have comfort, but to deny that we are sinless is to deceive ourselves.

there has only ever been One tempted in all points like us yet without sin. and its not you, dwayne! i trust Him to forgive my iniquity, to clothe me in His righteousness, to progressively sanctify me and present me spotless at that time appointed.

as to commending your fellow heretic 9/11 and other pseuds

also jd and db recently identified her as cheryl (presumably OC, arminian, kjvo, baptist etc., etc. and sola scriptura)
I have yet to see a denial.

the scriptures do not teach fatalism. i am not a fatalist.

however the scriptures do clearly teach that God is sovereign over sinful men and over kings and nations. He governs all things.

if you read the old testament prophecies carefully you would see that God raised up Kings and nations to be the instruments of His judgment against His people, something that those men were oblivious to.

just because sinners are oblivious to God's overruling does not make it any less true

perhaps God will yet teach you these truths. yet i hope that in the stubbornness that you have shown that it will not be through suffering as it was with nebuchadnezzar, who at the end of those days had learned and confessed
Daniel 4:35
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

to believe in the sovereignty of God is not to deny the responsibility and accountability of man for his own sin. God is not the author of sin.
