@Evangelist_Des How many days have you had zero sins?

[WILLIAM BUTTERMORE (NBD) @WillButtermore]

@Calvy_CoG I would love to see what you think about my review/introduction.

@riecker I think you need to look up the word "holy" before making this statement.

Is there a holy, holier, holiest concept in the Bible?

Holiest, Holiest, Holiest is the Lord God all might...

[WILLIAM BUTTERMORE (NBD) @WillButtermore]

That was not me.
I’ll give two as an example:
1 Free Grace is usually used as a hermeneutical system, feather than a conclusion of a solid LGH hermeneutic

2 The typical doctrine of “sanctification” is very poorly understood

There is also outer darkness, some soft universalism concepts that I would oppose

@saint_trae35891 I believe in salvation given as a free gift. I would not say I hold to “Free Grace Theology.”

[WILLIAM BUTTERMORE (NBD) @WillButtermore]

@saint_trae35891 Is being a “Free Gracer” a theological position or a debate function?

I don't know what it is about "Hang the Fire" by @demonhunterband. The song and the lyrics hit every time.

You know this world is your ending
No crown in defending your way
I hear your grave in the distance
Resounding resistance to stay
To stay in vain

Days you will find fading in time
Words of redemption lost in resign
Leaving your soul hollow and blind
Held in the balance while you hang the fire

@ian693 4000:1 to win the division. Here is your chance to make some serious money.

Acts 13:48 is not the Calvinist slam-dunk it’s often claimed to be. The Gentiles heard the word, were rejoicing, and were glorifying the word of the Lord. Then Luke adds: “…and as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.” Greek: ὅσοι ἦσαν τεταγμένοι
ὅσοι = “as many as” (the same ones who…)
ἦσαν τεταγμένοι = imperfect of εἰμί + perfect passive participle of τάσσω (a periphrastic construction)

The main action of the sentence is believed. The relative clause correlates the two realities: those who believed are the same ones who had been designated for eternal life.

Luke is not pausing to teach unconditional election. He’s drawing a deliberate contrast with the Jews in v. 46 who “judged themselves unworthy of eternal life.” The Gentiles believed; the Jews refused. Reading rigid predestination into the participle forces the text. The point is response to the word, not a hidden decree.

Genesis 25:23 - The LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb; And two peoples will be separated from your body; And one people shall be stronger than the other; And the older shall serve the younger."

Malachi 1:1-3 - The oracle of the word of the LORD to Israel through Malachi. "I have loved you," says the LORD. But you say, "How have You loved us?" "Was not Esau Jacob's brother?" declares the LORD. "Yet I have loved Jacob; but I have hated Esau, and I have made his mountains a desolation and appointed his inheritance for the jackals of the wilderness."

Romans 9:11-13 - for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls, it was said to her, "THE OLDER WILL SERVE THE YOUNGER." Just as it is written, "JACOB I LOVED, BUT ESAU I HATED."

It really is not that hard

@BTalk712 If you don't say Jesus is God, you are antichrist

Galatians 2:16, 21 - nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified. ... "I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."

[WILLIAM BUTTERMORE (NBD) @WillButtermore]

@BrysonGray Philippians 3:9 - and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,

[WILLIAM BUTTERMORE (NBD) @WillButtermore]

@BrysonGray Romans 4:2, 5 - For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. ... But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,
