"I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord,
I die daily.
If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me?
If the dead do not rise,
“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”"
- 1 Corinthians 15:31-32

@5Solas Regeneration is meaningless without faith. Regeneration in itself does not save you - therefore, it is preceded by faith.

@Thatbrian Strawman.
God gave him the ability to choose Him (or reject Him), because He first choose him - not in spite of it.

God's choice is always based on the premise of faith. Faith does not require you understand Calvinism (or any other system, etc.), just the Word of God.

[Spriteous @spriteous]

@Thatbrian God's choice of Israel was based on the faith of Abraham:

- God always 'chooses' faith in man solely based on the premise of His nature through His Word. (2 Timothy 2:13)

+ God's covenants are based in love - not some arbitrary/secondary/duplicitous will. (Deuteronomy 7:9)

@sola_chad I'll take Scripture over the quotes of man's confirmation bias.

[𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 ♞ @RetronicGaming]

@5Solas Nice saying, but the proof is in the pudding - not self-congratulatory quotes.

[𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 ♞ @RetronicGaming]

@5Solas Calvinism has been formally condemned by the Council of God's Word, thus willfully condemning themselves.

@5Solas Dinesh isn't "upset" - proof is in the one ad homin. Calvinists are just buzzkilld from a high of quoting their own quotes instead of the Word of God.

Get it through your thick skulls - We don't care about "understanding" your theology, only that it doesn't line up w/ Scripture.

[𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 ♞ @RetronicGaming]

@5Solas So you can't explain your beliefs? ..Got it.

You sort of missed the target of the question. Christians put their faith in God, not theology.

[𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 ♞ @RetronicGaming]

+ Man is the image of God. (Colossians 1:15)

- God is not the image of man. (Exodus 20:4)

[𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 ♞ @RetronicGaming]

@5Solas Faith is not a destination; it is a direction (John 14:6). That direction is not knowledge or any systematic theology. Calvinism is gnostic - and it's floundering.

[𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 ♞ @RetronicGaming]

@5Solas It's because their theology is worthless in comparison to the Word of God. Calvinists get high off of quoting their own quotes.

[Spriteous @spriteous]

@autocorrect2_0 Faith is direction, not a destination (i.e., active/alive, not passive/dead).

Repentance is aligning our faith to Him alone, acknowledging our limitations by His grace along the Way (John 14:6).

Love will always be a choice - It's just that God has already done our part.

[𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 ♞ @RetronicGaming]

@5Solas Show me the Word of God, and I'll show you a Christian.

[𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 ♞ @RetronicGaming]

@5Solas God willingly sins? Calvies dont get it.
- I have the freedom to give up my choice because God first chose me. The Calvinist god takes away their choice.
- Salvation is how you interpret the Word, not how a theology interprets the Word. Calvinism is essentially Catholicism-lite.

[Spriteous @spriteous]

@adamcmoyer @DineshDSouza - I have the freedom to give up my choice because God first chose me. The Calvinist god takes away their choice.

- Salvation is how you interpret the Word, not how a collective/system interprets the Word. Calvinism is essentially Catholicism-lite.

[Spriteous @spriteous]

@DineshDSouza @5Solas Amen. God's freedom resides solely in Jesus Christ of Nazareth (a human).
