LindaR reacted to trapperhoney in Titus
"predestination" is a sticky topic in IFB circles, and frequently avoided. the problem, as I see it, is that some people have taken this doctrine, which is clearly in scripture, and twisted to suit their own theology. God predestined that those who choose to accept Christ as their savior will be conformed to the image of His Son. Not that they were predestined to get saved.
God himself is truth, and the source of all truth. Without God there is no truth. In order to know truth we must seek God. This can only be done through Christ.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Joh 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Exactly! Those who are saved WILL be conformed to the image of Christ. That is predestination. Sadly, many do twist it to mean predestined to Salvation.

Hath blinded - past tense.
i will draw - future tense.
Either Christ will draw all men, (including those who were previously blinded) to Himself, or He was a liar. Of course, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that He was not a liar. So, He will draw all men unto Himself.
calvinist's are wrong.

LindaR reacted to Ukulelemike in Free Will
Amen. Jesus also said, "If I be lifted up, I will draw ALL men unto me". hence, EVERYONE is drawn. As well He lighteth all men that come into the world. So, ALL are drawn, ALL are lighted-so ALL have an opportunity to follow. We may be depraved, but we ALL have been called unto salvation.
Acts 17:30 "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:"
1Time 2:3,4 "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."
Clearly the Lord desires ALL to be saved, and has paid the price for sin for all, draws all, calls all to repent, wills all to be saved. But all don't, so we Do have a will, but ALL have an opportunity, either to accept or to reject."

LindaR got a reaction from Alan in Kent hovind, post trib. Brians response
The guy in the youtube is Bryan Denlinger...and he goes by "husky394xp" on youtube.
oops....just saw Alan's post
His (Bryan's) video was really good on Kent Hovind. On his other channel HUSKY394XP, he did a 3 part series refuting Kent Hovind's teaching on the post/pre-wrath rapture in his book "What On Earth Is About To Happen?"
BTW, Bryan Denlinger is a Ruckmanite!

LindaR reacted to Alan in Kent hovind, post trib. Brians response
His name is Bryan Denlinger and he made the video in response to the book by Kent Hovind, "What on Earth is About to Happen..." and to refute Kent Hovind's belief in a post-tribulation rapture.
Apparently, after I viewed a different, recent video made by Kent Hovind, I came to the conclusion that Kent Hovind has changed his prophetic beliefs and is confused about prophesy. Real sad.

LindaR reacted to Alan in James W knox?
Salyan is entirely correct.
All of the different Gap Theories are totally doctrnally incorrect. The twisting of 2 Peter 3:3-7 to fit the Gap theory is a blot, a shame, and a reproach on fundamentalism. 2 Peter 3:3-7 is a direct reference to the flood of Noah's day and not to anything else.
To say that Genesis 1:1 is a reference to the, Original creation is very close to heretical. Please forgive me for saying this, but, your interpretation of Genesis 1:14-17 and Job 22 are not correct.
I have known about James Knox for some time and due to the Gap Theory I have not gotten involved with his ministry nor do I apporve of it. He is a good man in almost all other respects, but the Gap theory, and the false interpretation of Genesis 1:1, 2 Peter 3;3-7, Job 22, etc... by these Gap theorists is heretical.

Eric,
First of all, Israel is not the Church and the Church is not Israel. The Shemitah was part of the Mosaic Law. Are you under the Mosaic Law, Eric? The Law was given to Israel, not the Church or the Gentile nations (Psalms 147:19-20) Are you an Israeli? The year of release was for Israelis living in Israel during the dispensation of the Mosaic Law, not the Gentile nations or the Church.
From the Berean Call radio broadcast Search The Scriptures 24/7 (9-26-2014):
"Well, the Hebrew word Shemitah actually means “release,” and so what happened is just as in the law God set aside the seventh day of the week as the day of rest, He also set aside the seventh year as a year of rest for the land, so there was not to be any planting or harvesting during the seventh year. And in preparation for that, it was actually a year of blessing, because in the sixth year He caused the land to produce three times what it normally would so that it would carry them through the seventh year and then on into the eighth year until the harvest came. So another thing that happened was that at the last day of that seventh year, debtors were to be released from the debts that they owed to their creditors, whoever they had borrowed from was to wipe the slate clean, and so they were released. That’s where the word Shemitah comes from: they were released from their debt. And so that began to be applied to that day, and then applied to the whole year, that seventh year. So when we talk about Shemitah, we’re actually talking about the Sabbath year, one year every seven years when the land would rest and debts would be wiped clean." (David James http://www.thebereancall.org/content/what-shemitah-david-james-part-1 )
So, who did you "release" from work when the "shemita" came? Did you cancel all debts also?
Better to stick to the Scriptures rather than Jonathan Cahn. Jonathan Cahn also uses the Kabbalah (Zohar) for some of his "false" prophecies.
Here are the 4 Scripture verses (all in Deuteronomy) where the "Shemitah" is found:
Deuteronomy 15:1 At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release. (shemitah)
Deuteronomy 15:2 And this is the manner of the release: (shemitah) Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD'S release. (shemitah)
Deuteronomy 15:9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, (shemitah) is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
Deuteronomy 31:10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, (shemitah) in the feast of tabernacles,

shemitah is the Hebrew word translated as "release" in four verses in Deuteronomy.

If we are to believe the Bible, (and we should) the tithe is the LORD's. (Leviticus 27:30) However, it is a specific tithe (agricultural; Leviticus 27:30-33; Deuteromony 14:22-27) for a specific people (sons of Levi, widows, orphans and strangers; Numbers 18:24-26; Deuteronomy 14:28-29) in a specific location (Canaan/Israel; Deuteronomy 6:1-3; 12:10-11) that the LORD said was His.
That said, if B.R. Fulton's Church is collecting tithes, it is operating contrary to the Word of God.
The required $60/$5 Mebmership Fee for Adults/Children, the required $250/$15 for Mount Moriah Day, the required $150/$15 for Church Anniversary is also totally foreign to the Word of God.
Basically, Greater Mount Moriah Primitive Baptist Church is a den of thieves.

Come on guys...let up. Didn't you see that if she would simply file for a financial hardship, they'll give her an extra 90 days?
After all...Mount Moriah Day and the Church anniversary are depending on that money!
Gotta put priorities first!!!

Any Church that levies set amounts, ($60/$250/$150/$5/$15/10% of income, etc.) on people's monetary giving is doing so outside of God's will. God never commanded the Church Member to give a certain amount or percentage. We are told our giving is to be as we choose to give, not as others dictate.
