Salvation By Grace My pleasure. I found it most edifying.

Over 500 years of the Reformation suggests Reformed theology will not collapse under Arminian error.

Salvation By Grace Yes I am very grateful, I am having a difficult time trying to show my friends the truth, as well. I've shown one of your videos to one, but she had a lot of questions and rebuttals concerning it. And my other two calvanist friends have gone to Romans 9, which I believe they have wrongly interpreted, and they seem to be less willing to adhere to the scriptures that I give them that concern "the world", claiming that it sometimes doesn't mean world, etc. Is there anything that you would suggest, I know prayer is first for sure.

There really arent many preachers who teach truth. Check out Living God Ministries . Net Aaron Budjen

@@egiipta If you haven't found them yet, take a look at Beyond The Fundamentals (K. Thompson) and Soteriology101 (L. Flowers). Last year, God used those 2 guys to free me from calvinism. God bless!

@@capitainegeneral1675 thanks, I've visited i believe all of those sources. My opinions have changed in the past four years, however, so i think I wouldn't write the comment i had in the current day, though i still am not a supporter of this system of belief. But i am working in gaining a broader understanding of the scriptures to be able to measure teachings against them more fairly than i used to

@@JB_Royal_Ambassador thanks! I shall, they sound familiar.

Hey Lisa, I'm not the Pastor but thanks for the comment, hope you are doing good. I just wanted to share some things I've been seeing in the word lately. This is amazing truth. Please let me know your thoughts about it... The writer of Hebrews said that Christ died *FOR THE SINS COMMITTED UNDER THE FIRST COVENANT.* We were not under the first Covenant. Hebrews 9:15 ...For Christ died to set *THEM* free from the penalty of the sins *THEY had committed UNDER THAT FIRST COVENANT.* We did not commit sins under that first Covenant. Also...Jesus said... He was *ONLY* sent to the lost sheep of the house of Isreal. That is not us. Matthew 15:24 But He answered and said, *"I was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of the house of Isreal."* It's all about ISRAEL... not us. Also... Paul said... *Jesus was sent TO REDEEM THOSE WHO WERE UNDER THE LAW.* Galatians 4:4-5 4But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, *BORN UNDER THE LAW, 5So that He might REDEEM THOSE WHO WERE UNDER THE LAW...* We were never under the law. Romans 3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says, *IT SAYS TO THOSE WHO ARE UNDER THE LAW...* Psalm 147:19-20 19He declares His word to *JACOB,* His statutes and judgments to *ISRAEL.* 20He has done this for *NO OTHER NATION;* they do not know His judgments Hallelujah! The second Covenant was ONLY for the ones under the first Covenant, those under the law. Did you catch that? The second Covenant was ONLY for the ones under the first Covenant, those under the law. That would be Israel. Only Israel was under the law. Hebrews 8:10 For this is the *COVENANT* that I will make *WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL...* We were never under a Covenant at all. This is fantastic news for us. God's love, mercy and grace is much greater than we ever thought possible. I believe the Parable of the lost sheep is a picture of God's love for ALL people ever created. The house of Isreal represents the one lost sheep. They were the ONLY ONES that needed to be redeemed from the curse of being under the first Covenant law. This next verse proves that only Israel was lost and needing to be saved. Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save *THAT WHICH WAS LOST.* Apparently not ALL were lost, right? *That's why Jesus said He was ONLY sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.* God agreed to impute Israel's sin to THEM under that Old Covenant. Then He Himself paid the debt THEY incurred under that Covenant. Romans 5:13 For until the law sin was in the world: *BUT SIN IS NOT IMPUTED WHEN THERE IS NO LAW.* Romans 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord *WILL NOT IMPUTE SIN.* *We are blessed because we are not under the law and our sin is not imputed to us!* Never has been and never will be! Praise the Lord! *I truly believe that God's love, mercy and grace is much bigger than we ever thought possible!* *Nobody's sin today is being imputed to them!* That is amazing news! Praise the Lord! What do you think Lisa? Let me know.

@@SalvationByGrace Are you saying that nobody today is guilty of sin & in need of a Savior? i believe the only way is thru the death, burial & resurrection of Christ for us today. 1 Cor 15:1-4. the apostle paul presents the gospel to us, the gentiles. God bless.

@@LisaM1Cor15 We sin but as the bible teaches, sin is not imputed to anyone's account today... Romans 5:13 For until the law sin was in the world: *BUT SIN IS NOT IMPUTED WHEN THERE IS NO LAW.* 2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling THE WORLD unto himself, NOT IMPUTING THEIR TRESPASSES UNTO THEM; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Romans 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord *WILL NOT IMPUTE SIN.*

I agree.

Salvation By Grace I look forward to watching your other videos. There's an unbearable almost unthinkable thought going through my mind. .that Calvinism was part of a Top Secret plan by none other than Satan himself using John Calvin as an unwitting pawn. .Satan has had many unwitting pawns throughout history. .John Calvin. .Joseph Smith. .Charles Darwin. .Charles Taze Russell. .MOHAMMED. .

Calvinism is straight from the pit of hell. I'm beginning to see it as more dangerous than the easier to debunk false gospels. As Dr. Ralph states, Calvinism is VERY close to the truth, with 1% arsenic. It's that arsenic that makes it deadly to the soul. Compare it to Mormonism. That is 95% Arsenic and FAR easier to confront followers with the truth. Most Christians don't even realize just how dangerous Calvinism is to their eternal soul.

bud ekins - It appeals to men and they end up arrogant, smug and elitist. I sat under the teaching of one for years. It belongs in the dustbin!

Its from the pit OF HELL PERIODAnd anybody that preaches it aee very evil if they Know better but still preach it Shut up SATAN

Some teach "conditional eternal security" dependent on the Christian's "perseverance to the end". Some teach "you can lose your salvation" and others teach "you were never saved to begin with" which are 2 of their most popular mantras. Galatians 1:8-9 - 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 1 Timothy 4:1 - Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Luke 21:8 - And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. Hope this helps, God bless!

Calvinisim is A HUGE CULT PERIOD Go te hell lying stinking Demon

Jesus Christ saved me from hell even if still sin on purpis dayily im HIS 4 EVER 4 WHAT HE DID 4 ME ON THE CROSS AND DIED AND ROSE GAIN AND I BELIEVE ALL MY SINS ARE FOR GIVEN ME PERSONALY or NONE ARE 4 GIVEN PERIOD

The gospel was preached to everyone that ever needed to hear it, then the end came in 70AD! Read proof below... Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached *IN ALL THE WORLD* for a witness unto all nations; *AND THEN SHALL THE END COME.* Romans 10:18 But I ask, did they not hear? *INDEED THEY DID:* "Their voice *HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE EARTH,* their words *TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD."* Colossians 1:23 If indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard, which *HAS BEEN PROCLAIMED IN ALL CREATION UNDER HEAVEN...* Colossians 1:23 KJV If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and *WHICH WAS PREACHED TO EVERY CREATURE which is UNDER HEAVEN;* whereof I Paul am made a minister; Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation *HATH APPEARED* to *ALL* men, *"Hath appeared" proves it already happened in the PAST.* 1 Peter 4:7 But *THE END of ALL things IS at hand...* *Their end was at hand 2000 years ago.* The mission was fully accomplished, the gospel did go out to the world, to the old covenant world and their end came in the first century, in 70AD.

Praise God!

*Did you know sin was dealt with?* *In God's eyes imputable sin doesn't exist anymore! Because it has been taken away! That's the only reason we don't see God wiping out cities like He did in the OT!* John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, *Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.* Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. *But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:* 1 Corinthians 10:23a *All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable...* 1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And *if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:* Romans 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for *where no law is, there is no transgression.* Romans 5:13 For until the law sin was in the world: but *sin is not imputed when there is no law.* Romans 6:14 *...for ye are not under the law, but under grace.* Romans 4:8 *Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.* Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Romans 4:8 *Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.* Romans 5:13 For until the law sin was in the world: but *sin is not imputed when there is no law.* Romans 6:14b *...for ye are not under the law, but under grace.* Romans 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for *where no law is, there is no transgression.* Romans 5:13 For until the law sin was in the world: but *sin is not imputed when there is no law.* 2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that *God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them;* and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, *which taketh away the sin of the world.* 2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling *the world* unto himself, *not imputing their trespasses unto them;* and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. *In God's eyes imputable sin doesn't exist anymore! Because it has been taken away!*

Yep this preacher has somewhat or somehow hatred to something he didn't fully understand and studies in some degree.

If God controls who sins and who doesn't, God determines who burns in hell and who is saved. two questions. 1) Why limit the power of your God to save everyone, anyone and the world, as the Bible states? 2) Do you really believe the sinless and perfect God would cause and force people to sin? Further, why do you believe that man cannot believe without salvation? Even the demons believe in God. James 2:19.

We are warned about false teachers like Yankee that pervert God's grace. Jude 1:4 For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you They are ungodly people who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. Yankeeism teaches you can live anyway you want to.

Or any form of written summary, thanks.

awatchwoman Good day, I dont know if this would help. I wrote a paper for someone who was considering election. As a result, it is a little----caddy. It was once written when a believer is about to enter into heaven, the sign on the gate would read “Whosoever will may come”. Once they enter heaven, the sign on the backside of the gate would read, ”Chosen from the foundation of the world”. This is music to the ears of all Christians. How wonderful that God has chosen us to be saved: to be part of the elect; to be loved by God. How beautiful! How wonderful!! HMMMMMMMM. Wait a second!!!!! What about those who are at the “other” place. When they are in eternal torment, they will also read “Chosen to be here from the foundation of the world”. Huh?????? I am in this torment ONLY because God didn’t elect me? Why did I even go to the “Great White Throne Judgment”? How could I be judged by God, while the whole time the responsibility was on HIM to elect me? Election (Calvinism) teaches that all believers are elected by God. The man has no say in determining his own salvation. What is the point of the judgment seats if this were really the case? Who did Jesus die for; the elect only? Is faith the gift of God? Who are the elect of the bible? Why do people believe in election? These are some of the questions that will be analyzed and answered using scripture and logic - The bible says - The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance (2 Pet 3:9) - Logic says - If God wants ALL to come to repentance; why did he only elect to save a few? HMMMMMMM! Calvinists/Electionist believe that God only died for the elect. The pastor at a church that I was attending stated,” God hates sin and He hates the sinner”. I cannot remember the verse he used. He did use hell as an example of how God hates the sinner. Man…how lucky to be elected by God; knowing that Jesus died for you (the elect). But what does the bible say… - The bible says - he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD (1 john 2;2) - The bible says -The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the WORLD. (John 1:29) - The bible says - This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants ALL PEOPLE to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. (I Tim 2:3-4) - The bible says - But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for EVERY MAN. (Heb 2:9) - Logic says - do the words ALL, EVERY and WORLD mean elect? HMMMMMM! Calvinists/Electionist believe that faith is a gift from God. That man is totally depraved. He cannot make any choices on his own. Ephesians 2:8-9 reads,” For by grace ye are saved through faith, it is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God”. By reading this verse, C/E say that faith is the gift of God. Some even claim that “faith’ is a work, therefore one cannot have faith on their own. - The bible says, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom 6:23) - The bible says, “But for the one that worketh not, but believeth on the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness. (Rom 4:5) - Paul clearly separates works and faith!!! - Logic says - if man cannot have faith on his own. How can the unsaved have faith in allah, buddah, or even his own works? HMMMMMMM So why do C/E believe that all Chistians are elected? Where in the bible does it mention “ God elected those who would be saved. Let’s take a look at a few of those verses shall we. John 6: 44 reads, “No man come to me except the Father which hath sent me draw him”. WOW. There you have it!! God has to draw you to Him. See we are elected. This makes sense. But what else does the bible say. - The bible says, “And I, if I be lifted up, will draw ALL men to me (John 12:32) - Logic says - what is the definition of ALL? Did it say ALL elect? HHMMMMMMM How does God draw all men? Though the gospel and the Holy spirit. We read in Romans 1:16 ,” For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. In Acts 8:29, we also see that the spirit spoke to Philip. We will not review all the passages the C/E use to support their theology. This paper would be 50 pages in length. But let us now take a look at Romans 9:1-24 in some depth. In this passage you will see .” (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) and that God will save whom he will save. By themselves, these passages clearly teach election. Let’s take a look at the whole passage. - In the first few verses Paul’s heart is heavy. He is hoping that his own people (ISRAEL) would come to repentance (change of mind). The law was given to them. The covenant of Abraham, all the promises, the messiah!!! Israel was ELECTED by God. o Deuteronomy 7:6 says, "For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession - Paul begins to go through the lineage and OT scripture. This was very early in the Covenant made with Israel (Paul is still addressing his concern for the ELECTED nation) He then brings up the OT of Esau and Jacob….still referring to nations!!! o And the LORD said unto her, Two NATIONS are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger o NOTE - a future paper - why God didn’t actually hate Esau! - Paul begins to talk about God. Is he unrighteous? He will have mercy on whom he will have mercy. Bringing glory to God through power, wrath and mercy. Verse 24 - including the gentiles apart from the ELECTED Israel. - In verses 20 and 21. They should not say to God, why hast thou made me like this? He references the potter and the clay. o Jeremiah 18:6 - O house of ISRAEL, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. If you read and understand the context of Romans 9, you can clearly see that this passage is about the ELECTED Israel. It has nothing to do with individual salvation. Nothing whatsoever!!!! Here is where we go from whatsoever to whosoever (nice transition from the writer ). Whosoever is a word that appears many times in the Bible. Since we know that God is not a respecter of persons, and we also know the bible is the word of God, let’s take a look at a few scriptures. - The bible says - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Rom 10:13) - The bible says - And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Acts 2:21) - The bible says - And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (Rev 21:17) - The bible says - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) OK, last one I promise. C/E use Ephesians 1:4 which reads, “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: There you have it!!! Chosen from the foundation of the world. Forget everything else in the bible (World, All, Every, whosoever, rejected and believed; etc……you get my point). I cannot deny election is not in the bible. It is? But who is elected/predestined. 1. Israel was elected (see above) 2. Jesus was elected to be the sacrifice for mankind before the foundation of the world 3. angels are elected to minister, worship, etc. Does this mean that Christians were elected/predestined. God forbid!!! (incorporating Paul there ) The plan of salvation was predestined. The plan you ask (?) is WHOSOEVER that believed would be saved. Once saved, the Christians (whomever they might be), IS predestined for holy living (Eph 1:4). The Christian was predestined to do good works (not necessary for salvation). God doesn’t elect unto Christianity, He elects FROM Christianity. Does Jesus elect NON-believers to accomplish His good works…NO!! Jesus said, ”you can do nothing without me”. If believers can’t do anything without Him, then NON-believers CERTAINLY can’t do anything without Him!!! Calvinists/Electionist put the cart WAY ahead of the horse. They misinterpret scripture (as we all can do) to fit their doctrine. Through the scriptures, we can CLEARLY see that predestination/election UNTO salvation is incorrect. It is offered to every man, to ALL, to whosoever, to the WORLD. I refuse to believe (with much biblical evidence) that MY God would elect people to go to hell. He is not that cruel. Jesus said” Ye refuse to believe” “You have been blinded by Satan”. People can’t refuse to believe if they don’t have a choice!!!! satan can’t blind those who are “Chosen from the foundation of the world” to go to hell. They would be blinded without satans help!!!!!! I again am reminded of the most popular verse in the bible; John 3:16. For God so loved the elect, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whomsoever he chooses, shall have everlasting life (obvious sarcasm there) God does choose who gets eternal life. He chose, from the foundation of the world, the plan FOR salvation. The predestined plan - that WHOSOEVER believeth in Him, shall have everlasting life. WHY? Because He so loved THE WORLD

That is excellent, many thanks. I also have a couple of friends who like John MacArthur! Have C & P'd God bless

awatchwoman you are welcome; glad you liked it and good luck!!!

Thanks for that.I am so glad I stumbled across Jacksmack ,Sunrise Baptist church and Bibleline Ministries with Yankee Arnold.Finding them is like having a rock taken off me.

Kathy W Hi kathy. Listen to renee roland vids. They or she or the word will set u straight in the gospel. Grow in grace. Amen. Woops thats a year ago. Hope things have worked out for you and are resting in christs gospel..

Rebuke it in prayer, tell the Lord, hate that which is evil , I am doing the same and attempting to spread it to others from the Church that preaches it locally. They almost had me in local Baptist church, gradually introducing Calvinistic teachings , abt every 3rd sermon or so, starting looking at myself differently , others too, fruit inspector so to speak,, is he truly converted? is she truly ? am I ??? works based assessments , if I? if they ? would I / they / he /she do that ? very dangerous. I am so outta there, may only go back on occasion to talk to others about the teaching of Calvin and its heretical nature, they like to hide behind the Baptist sign in front of the churches, never gonna call it a Church of John Calvin , or Calvinistic Church of Christ, folks might catch on. Clever .

Where do you live in Australia? New Life Baptist Church in Sunshine Coast is a good one(IFB church), Blessed Hope Baptist church in Sydney also.

No probs, my soteriology leans towards the free grace side and one of my favorite theologians would be Dr Earl Radmacher... probably I would use a better analogy next time so that we don't misunderstand each other

The assurance doctrine, the gospel, the message of the cross, the end times judgement, God being a Righteous Judge, not to mention the word "believe" (which in itself requires a choice), and so many more biblical teachings would have to be completely ignored if not removed from scripture if calvinism were true.

@@djohnson3093 Yep, so true! Amen Brother!

Fethry Duck Yep lol

Spurgeons all of grace was good. But there was some poos in it

Great teacher but calvinist. A lot of his messages were wonderful and biblical but couldn't really fit what he claimed to believe.

Spurgeon's booklet A Defence of Calvinism has not single one quote from the Bible. Spurgeon, as well as some calvinists has good sermons. I don't think that calvinists worship different god than the God of the Bible. They has just wrong view on salvation.

@@refored Wow, So a wrong view of salvation is not the issue? I would say it is the deciding factor that determines one's destination - heaven or hell. How can you worship the God of the Bible when you rip his salvation to pieces?

Thanks for the comment, hope you are doing good. I just wanted to share some things I've been seeing in the word lately. This is amazing truth. Let me know your thoughts about it... The writer of Hebrews said that Christ died *FOR THE SINS COMMITTED UNDER THE FIRST COVENANT.* We were not under the first Covenant. Hebrews 9:15 ...For Christ died to set *THEM* free from the penalty of the sins *THEY had committed UNDER THAT FIRST COVENANT.* We did not commit sins under that first Covenant. Also...Jesus said... He was *ONLY* sent to the lost sheep of the house of Isreal. That is not us. Matthew 15:24 But He answered and said, *"I was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of the house of Isreal."* Acts 5:31 He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, *TO GRANT REPENTANCE to ISRAEL, and FORGIVENESS of SINS.* It's all about ISRAEL... not us. Also... Paul said... *Jesus was sent TO REDEEM THOSE WHO WERE UNDER THE LAW.* Galatians 4:4-5 4But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, *BORN UNDER THE LAW, 5So that He might REDEEM THOSE WHO WERE UNDER THE LAW...* We were never under the law. Romans 3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says, *IT SAYS TO THOSE WHO ARE UNDER THE LAW...* Psalm 147:19-20 19He declares His word to *JACOB,* His statutes and judgments to *ISRAEL.* 20He has done this for *NO OTHER NATION;* they do not know His judgments Hallelujah! Amos 3:1-2 *1People of ISRAEL,* I rescued you from Egypt. Now listen to my judgment against you. 2 Of all NATIONS on earth, *you are the ONLY ONE I HAVE CHOSEN. THAT'S WHY I will punish YOU because of YOUR sins.* The second Covenant was ONLY for the ones under the first Covenant, those under the law. That would be Israel. Only Israel was under the law. Hebrews 8:10 For this is the *COVENANT* that I will make *WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL...* We were never under a Covenant at all. This is fantastic news for us.

@@SalvationByGrace I thought I had entered a reply but.. If this is redundant please excuse me. Good morning, I'll try to respond as intelligently and as God's word says. Thank you for your response. 1. I understand we are NOT under the first covenant. That was for Israel. I also feel that the OT is the history of Creation and His chosen people. There are MANY wonderful principles to take from it but it, as I see it, speaks, again, of Israel's history and sets examples for us to follow and NOT follow (the bad kings and the sins of the the good kings). I agree with the Matt 15:24 but it goes on to tell about the GENTILE woman (dog) that was saved because of her faith in Jesus ("...O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt...". I believe, in the same way, as it says "...faith comes from hearing and hearing the Word of God." Rom 10:17. This, in my opinion, is one of the many Scriptures that refutes Calvin's disciples even though they will continue to try to make Scripture fit their narrative. "The Word continues: " Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto ALL and upon ALL them." Rom 3:22 (emphasis mine) While I agree that sin is not imputed on us because of the law, we are sinners never-the-less. Rom 3:23 "ALL have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God." Even though sin is not imputed through the law we are sinners because of our nature. Put a 4-year old in a room alone with many breakable, shiny things. Eventually he will break one. When asked he/she will lie and deny breaking the object. Lying is a sin. Granted this babe does not understand sin, yet, but it is an example of how we are sinners. I believe the Scripture makes it very clear. 1. We are all sinners and want to continue in our sin. (Rom 3:10-12; Rom 3:23). 2. The ONLY salvation is Jesus the Christ. (John 3:16; 3:18; Rom 10:9) 3. In the past He spoke through the prophets today He speaks through Jesus (Heb 1) I was looking for the narrow gate until I was 47 years old. On July 17 1992, I heard His word taught by (then) a good pastor, was baptized a year later and have been reading ever since. I will admit that I don't understand ALL I read immediately but I get understanding in God's time as He wills it. I am nowhere near as educated or knowledgeable about Scripture as you I just know that God in His Grace saved me from the pit of hell. Not because I deserve it or because I'm a good guy but because He loves His creation and wants them with Him in the New Jerusalem. Again, thank you for your time and I hope I responded fully. PS: I have listened to your sermons here in Nebraska and have found you to be one of the FEW true teachers of God's Word. I don't have a church at present because all around here are emergent, Calvinist, charismatic, etc. The church I attended for 25 years went emergent (Rick Warren, Dallas Willard, Beth Moore, etc) Please pray that a good church is planted here or that God moves us to Tampa so I can attend your worship services. God bless you and yours in all you do. R, Lupe Torres

Thanks for the comment, hope you are doing good. I just wanted to share some things I've been seeing in the word lately. This is amazing truth. Let me know your thoughts about it... The writer of Hebrews said that Christ died *FOR THE SINS COMMITTED UNDER THE FIRST COVENANT.* We were not under the first Covenant. Hebrews 9:15 ...For Christ died to set *THEM* free from the penalty of the sins *THEY had committed UNDER THAT FIRST COVENANT.* We did not commit sins under that first Covenant. Also...Jesus said... He was *ONLY* sent to the lost sheep of the house of Isreal. That is not us. Matthew 15:24 But He answered and said, *"I was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of the house of Isreal."* Acts 5:31 He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, *TO GRANT REPENTANCE to ISRAEL, and FORGIVENESS of SINS.* It's all about ISRAEL... not us. Also... Paul said... *Jesus was sent TO REDEEM THOSE WHO WERE UNDER THE LAW.* Galatians 4:4-5 4But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, *BORN UNDER THE LAW, 5So that He might REDEEM THOSE WHO WERE UNDER THE LAW...* We were never under the law. Romans 3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says, *IT SAYS TO THOSE WHO ARE UNDER THE LAW...* Psalm 147:19-20 19He declares His word to *JACOB,* His statutes and judgments to *ISRAEL.* 20He has done this for *NO OTHER NATION;* they do not know His judgments Hallelujah! Amos 3:1-2 *1People of ISRAEL,* I rescued you from Egypt. Now listen to my judgment against you. 2 Of all NATIONS on earth, *you are the ONLY ONE I HAVE CHOSEN. THAT'S WHY I will punish YOU because of YOUR sins.* The second Covenant was ONLY for the ones under the first Covenant, those under the law. That would be Israel. Only Israel was under the law. Hebrews 8:10 For this is the *COVENANT* that I will make *WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL...* We were never under a Covenant at all. This is fantastic news for us. God's love, mercy and grace is much greater than we ever thought possible. I believe the Parable of the lost sheep is a picture of God's love for ALL people ever created.

I have heard some calvinist teaching that God is author of sin. That's unbiblical. Lying is sin and God didn't create lying. Satan is liar and father of lies.

@@refored Calvinists teach that God is the author of sin and evil based upon a twisted and perverted interpretation of Isaiah 45:7, Amos 3:6, and other passages taken in isolation and out of context. In reality, there are many passages in the book of Jeremiah that explains why God did what He did to the Israelites because of their blatant disobedience, unfaithfulness, and indulgence in sin. To add insult to injury, Calvinists will then quote Romans 9:19-21 in support of their wicked teaching that God is the author of sin and evil and that man has no right to "question God." However, the words "evil" and "darkness" in the context of Isaiah 45:7 and Amos 3:6 in the original KJV stands for disaster and calamity that God brings upon His people when they are living in disobedience, unfaithfulness, and in wickedness. There are many instances in the book of Jeremiah and in other books in the Old Testament where people clearly QUESTIONED GOD and asked why He did what He did to them, but God ALWAYS told them why through the prophet Jeremiah: 1) Jeremiah 5:19 - Jeremiah 5:19 - 19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, WHEREFORE DOETH THE LORD OUR GOD ALL THESE THINGS UNTO US? then shalt thou answer them, Like AS YE HAVE FORSAKEN ME, and SERVED STRANGE GODS in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not your's. 2) Jeremiah 6:19 - 19 Hear, O earth: behold, I WILL BRING EVIL upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT HEARKENED UNTO MY WORDS, NOR TO MY LAW, BUT REJECTED IT. 3) Jeremiah 9:12-14 - 12 Who is wise enough to understand this? Who has been instructed by the Lord and can explain it? WHY HAS THE LAND BEEN RUINED AND LAID WASTE like a desert that no one can cross? 13 The Lord said, “It is because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them; they have not obeyed me or followed my law. 14 Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts; they have followed the Baals, as their ancestors taught them.” 4) Jeremiah 16:10-12 - 10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, WHEREFORE HATH THE LORD PRONOUNCED ALL THIS GREAT EVIL AGAINST US? OR WHAT IS OUR INIQUITY? OR WHAT IS OUR SIN THAT WE HAVE COMMITTED AGAINST THE LORD OUR GOD? 11 Then shalt thou say unto them, BECAUSE YOUR FATHERS HAVE FORSAKEN ME, saith the Lord, and HAVE WALKED AFTER OTHER GODS, AND HAVE SERVED THEM, AND HAVE WORSHIPED THEM, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law; 12 And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me: 5) 2 Chronicles 7:21-22 KJV - 21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, WHY HATH THE LORD DONE THUS UNTO THIS LAND, AND UNTO THIS HOUSE? 22 And it shall be answered, BECAUSE THEY FORSOOK THE LORD GOD OF THEIR FATHERS, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and LAID HOLD ON OTHER GODS, AND WORSHIPED THEM, AND SERVED THEM: therefore hath he brought all this EVIL upon them. 6) 1 Kings 9:8-9 - 8 And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, WHY HATH THE LORD DONE THUS UNTO THIS LAND, AND TO THIS HOUSE? 9 And they shall answer, BECAUSE THEY FORSOOK THE LORD THEIR GOD, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have TAKEN HOLD UPON OTHER GODS, and HAVE WORSHIPED THEM, AND SERVED THEM: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this EVIL. 7) Deuteronomy 29:24-27 - 24 Even all nations shall say, WHEREFORE HATH THE LORD DONE THUS UNTO THIS LAND? WHAT MEANETH THEHEAT OF THIS GREAT ANGER? 25 Then men shall say, BECAUSE THEY HAVE FORSAKEN THE COVENANT OF THE LORD GOD OF THEIR FATHERS, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: 26 For they WENT AND SERVED OTHER GODS, AND WORSHIPED THEM, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them: 27 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book: Hope this helps, God bless!

@@refored Genesis 6:6 debunks Calvinism's false teaching that He "predestined" everything including the fall of man, sin, and evil. Calvinists also believe that God created man and then INTENTIONALLY predestined his fall and predestined sin and evil. If that is true, then it makes no logical sense for God to feel regret and be deeply troubled afterwards. Hence, the errant belief that God predestined the fall of man is debunked and blown out of the water. Genesis 6:6 - The Lord REGRETTED that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was DEEPLY TROUBLED. If YOU create something and then intentionally engineer it for FAILURE, THEN YOU SHOULD NOT BE FEELING REGRET AND BE TROUBLED AFTERWARDS. If you deliberately and intentionally create a passenger airliner where it will explode in mid air killing hundreds of passengers, then you would not be feeling regret and be troubled afterwards. I mean after all, you created it to explode, why would you feel regret and be troubled afterwards? Calvinism's wicked teaching that God predestined man's fall, sin, and evil is based upon a perverted understanding of such passages like Isaiah 45:7 and Amos 3:6. However, the context of those passages is clearly explained by many passages in the book of Jeremiah and other Old Testament books. The passages in those books explain that God brings evil, disaster, and calamity upon nations and people when they are living in disobedience, unfaithfulness, and wickedness. God brings those things upon nations and individuals as punishment and as a wake up call. These passages include Jeremiah 16:10-12, Jeremiah 5:19, 2 Chronicles 7:21-22, 1 Kings 9:8-9, etc. Calvinism's demonic teaching makes God the author of sin and evil and in essence exonerates Satan and man. There is double talk and contradiction in Calvinism regarding whether or not God is the author of sin and evil. Calvinism's wicked teaching is a direct attack on the true nature and character of God. God's foreknowledge of the Inquisition, the Holocaust, Pearl Harbor, Dec 7, 1941, the Rape of Nanking 1937, and the 9/11 Terrorist attacks does NOT equal to God intentionally and deliberately making those atrocities happen. Those atrocities happened due to the innate evil and wickedness of men's hearts. James 1:13-14 - When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” FOR GOD CANNOT BE TEMPTED BY EVIL, NOR DOES HE TEMPT ANYONE; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away BY THEIR OWN EVIL DESIRE and enticed. Jeremiah 7:30-31 - “‘The people of Judah have DONE EVIL in my eyes, declares the Lord. They have set up their detestable idols in the house that bears my Name and have defiled it. They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire-SOMETHING I DID NOT COMMAND, NOR DID IT ENTER MY MIND. Jeremiah 32:35 - They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molek, though I NEVER COMMANDED -NOR DID IT ENTER MY MIND-that they should do such a detestable thing and so make Judah sin. The Bible teaches John 3:16, NOT "John Calvin 3:16".

@@refored James White, an eminent Calvinist apologist and preacher, in an interview on the Bible Answer Man program with Hank Hanegraaff openly stated that God "decrees" childhood rape. Well, if James White's child got sexually molested I could just picture him giving "comfort" to his child by saying, "It's okay, sweetie, God decreed that to happen to you for His glory and honor." LOL!!!!!!

@@andrewdurfee2891 I believe everyone will ultimately be saved. 1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, *who IS the Saviour of ALL MEN...* John 12:47 *And if any man hear my words, and BELIEVE NOT, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.* 1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and *not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.* Romans 5:19 For as through the one man's disobedience *THE MANY were made sinners,* even so *through the obedience of the One THE MANY will be made RIGHTEOUS.* Jesus the second Adam reversed the curse of the first Adam. We took no part in being made sinners and we take no part in being made righteous. If we don't believe Jesus reversed the curse of Adam then we are saying that the first Adam was more powerful than God.

@@andrewdurfee2891 FACT CHECK HELL PLEASE Do you mean GeHenna, the word Jesus used which literally means the Valley of Hinnom. Jesus warned his generation of the danger there and historians record that hundreds of thousands of bodies after being burned in the city in AD 70 were thrown into that valley where they rotted and were eaten with worms. Do you mean Sheol? That place in the OT that simply meant the place of the dead that had no "hell" meaning? It is usually translated grave. Do you mean Hades? Are you thinking of the Greek god who ruled the underworld, had a hat that made him invisible and a three headed dog that wouldn't let people go from his death-underworld that Jesus was said to have figuratively conquered? Or did you mean Greek mythological Tartarus of the gods the Titans, the word that is used by Peter once and is only used once in the Bible not as a place to send people, but as a mythological place that Peter used as an illustration of physical judgment? Wait, you must be thinking of the Lake of Fire, that place that is mentioned only in the book of Revelation and never anywhere else in the Bible. That book that is filled with apocalyptic, non-literal images to communicate about the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70? Sorry, the mythical place where satan rules and people are tormented for eternity doesn't exist. It really was imposed over the Bible by those who wanted to control the people by fear. I used to think that was silly, but there are documented quotes by early church fathers and others who held the "doctrine of reserve", ie the idea that they needed to reserve the truth otherwise people may live immoral and would endanger the order of society.. Hell isn’t a place. It is what religion puts people through. By Chuck Crisco

@@andrewdurfee2891 You know who Jesus was right? Well this is what He said about believing... John 12:47 *And if any man hear my words, and BELIEVE NOT, I JUDGE HIM NOT: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.*

Luke1:17 (("turn the disobedient to the wisdom of the just"???))/what do you suppose that means???

if Jesus Christ did it all for everyone then everyone's going to be saved right? unless of course you think that the blood of Christ is not sufficient for salvation and salvation requires a work of man.

azmarkb A sacrifice for sin is only acceptable if it is accompanied with a contrite heart..... Psa 51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar. Isa 1:11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. 12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. 15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

THEY DO NOT BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST PERIOD GOD LOVES EVERY BODY JOHN CH 3 VS 16 HE DOES NOT LIE

@@theodoreritola7641 *they’re. If you’re going to discredit and entire body of believers that have fallen well under the umbrella of orthodoxy for hundreds of years, it would behoove you to use proper spelling. Secondly, Calvinists would affirm that God loves all. I don’t mind Ralph’s preaching. But his review of Calvinists seems to be rather biased and his analogy of the garden is just wrong. Show some grace.

I'll go toe-to-toe with you anytime and we'll see who's taking scripture out of context.

no where in scripture does it say that the lost have the ability to choose Christ. Nowhere period everywhere you look the unregenerate neither seeks nor understand spiritual things because they are dead in their trespasses.

LOL!! First, I'm probably older than you are and, secondly, unfortunately for you, arrogance does not win debates.

Hmm... please show me where I said "repent of sins"... I don't seem to be able to find it.

While you're trying to find where I said "repent of sins", maybe you can exegete this verse: Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
