Deliverance from Calvinism

[Theophilus]

I think it has to do with reading comprehension.

When things pertaining to things such as salvation are basically handed to one.... (Let he who has wisdom understand)... the
brain will weaken as will a muscle when others do the work and just like a muscle that needs to be exercised to keep toned
so does the brain.... which one always needs but sometimes does not have.

If I have lost any of you DM me and Ill explain....

No you haven't lost any of me, I'm still in one peace.

But "My brain feels like a shootout" from overwhelming mental activity and stress, anxiety, and cognitive overload. It leads me to having racing thoughts and feeling of being out of control. To cope I practice grounding techniques like deep breathing or mindfulness, engage in physical activities, or use distraction to channel energy positively.

But could you just keep the Boogeyman away from me?

Goals keep me grounded. We've got to have somewhere to going. "Drifting" isn't something I do well. I don't believe we're meant to just "drift around".

Sometimes the problem with drifting is just not recognizing what we should do.

I will try my very best.

My answer to drifting is what I try to do everyday with my loved ones. I make it my goal to love them and take care of them like God does with us. I do it with His help and try my best not to fall short.

How is confessing with your mouth the Lord Jesus a work?

Confessing is a action verb in Rom 10:9 its in the active voice so is believe

 

[TomL]

Depends on what life your talking about. Physical or Spiritual

Well seeing as they to whom the gospel is preached already have physical life, all that is currently left is spiritual.

An admirable goal.

One of the greatest compliments that God every gave to a human being is found in

Gen 18:19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

This verse is from the KJV. It was translated from the Hebrew of the MT.

Contrast this against the "Calvinist" bible of choice in the ESV.

Gen 18:19 For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice, so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.”

Entirely different perspective.

Some people claim that Bibles all say the same things. Here is one example of hundreds where that statement can't possibly be true.

I'm glad you value what is meaningful.

Thats to the regenerated Sheep. Scripture isnt written to the unregenerate, they dead in sin

Sorry, if they were already regenerated, they would have had life and no need for scripture to say

John 20:31 (LEB) — 31 but these things are recorded in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Scripture states that by believing, you may have life.

Also, scripture exists that a person may have life.

 

[TomL]

Tulip Truths are elements of the Gospel of Gods Grace

False claims apart from the gospel

John 20:31 (NASB95) — 31 but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.


Scripture is written so that you may believe, so there goes total inability

and believing you will have life contrary to the Calvinist theology that puts regeneration before faith

That's the regenerated Sheep, scripture is not written to the reprobate but only the sanctified

That's written to the regenerated Sheep

where does the bible ever say :

regenerated sheep ?

you just like to make things up all of the time.

 

[TomL]

That's written to the regenerated Sheep

Sorry, it is absurd to argue one must first have life so he can believe unto life.

This Life is had only after faith.

John 20:31 (NASB95) — 31 but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.

You ignore this

When you read the beginning of a epistle who is it normally written to?

That's written to the regenerated. God doesn't write scripture to the dead in sin, the enemies of the truth

I'll bite.

Matthew 1:1
THE BOOK of the ancestry (genealogy) of Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), the son (descendant) of David, the son (descendant) of Abraham.

This one is to the Church you and I.

Personal Application. Matthew’s emphasis on Jesus as the fulfillment of prophecy (41 OT quotes) shows that Jesus’ life and ministry were part of the single plan of God throughout the history of Israel, and not an act of desperation. The entire Gospel stresses that Jesus is Immanuel—God-With-Us.
Jesus’ teachings in Matthew’s Gospel call for obedience and continue to expose sham and hypocrisy in personal and corporate life.
The book also gives to the church a clarion call to mission, the proclamation of the good news to all peoples. Christian disciples must learn to live within the tension of two ages, the present age of fulfillment in the Person of Jesus (in His words and works through His church by the Spirit’s power) and the Age to Come, that is, the consummation of all things. In the interim, Christians are called to be humble, patient, genuine, faithful, watchful, and responsible—assured of the risen Jesus’ presence as they are expectant of His return when faith will give way to sight.
