False dichotomy, because what it actually says is: 3. That the name of a person is written in the Book of life when that person puts their trust in God, and that God determined before the foundation of the world that anyone who does not have their name written in the book will not be saved, and...

Look, I agree that when God said He would provide a way back to Himself, with it not being contingent upon anything, it's as good as done. That's not the problem here, though. The problem is that Revelation 13:8 is not talking about God's plans to provide a Messiah. It's not even talking about...

Quit putting God in a box. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. He died for all of mankind, not just some.

In order to be a Calvinist like B57, one has to blatantly deny what the Bible clearly says, and insist that it says and means something completely different than what it says.

Wrong. Bad Translations: . . . - "The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" at Revelation 13:8 can be corrected (as at the NIV footnote) by cross-referencing the passage with Revelation 17:8. For the Bible teaches that "only those written in the Lamb's Book of Life" (Rev. 21:27) shall be...

If you're going to quote me, do me the favor of using the built-in quote function of the site please. This is called begging the question. You haven't established "God's Eternal Perspective" to be a fact, and I literally just showed you why it couldn't mean anything other than what I said...

Sorry, but this isn't saying that the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world, no matter how much you claim it is. The Lamb wasn't slain at the foundation of the world, nor was He being slain since the foundation of the world. Another way to say what John wrote in that verse is this...

"Wu-stuh-shr sauce" is a close enough approximation.

Because sin makes you stupid.

Please respond to the rest of my post.

Accidentally typo'd in my formatting, there's more to my post than what you responded to.

Won't get you to heaven. See Clete's answer above.

To show you that the death penalty was not exclusive to the Old Testament. False. Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law. - Romans 3:31 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans3:31&version=NKJV You need to stop thinking in...

Wrong. The Mosaic Law was for Israel, and no other nation. What I want is for our nations laws to reflect God's laws, as Israel's Mosaic Law did. I am a theonomist. Only for criminals, and only in a good way. Again, wrong. The government only puts people to death for capital crimes, which...

Again, because you still don't get it yet: Romans 1 is not "OT." Paul, in the New Testament, says that criminals such as murderers and the sexually immoral "are deserving of death." Paul is advocating the death penalty! I don't know how to make it any clearer! In a nutshell: Because God...

I'm not talking about sin. I'm talking about crime. The best way to do that is by punishing criminals swiftly and painfully. Ergo, death penalty, corporal punishment, and restitution. Not prison. "Punishment" is the meting out of justice. It is literally the application of the Golden...

No one here has claimed to be a god. You might not, but that's just because your position is founded on not being able to know anything at all. (Yet somehow you're able to know some things?) We Christians, on the other hand, at least those of us here on TOL, know that the reason God hasn't...

@Clete Didn't you already have a thread on this?

Then why ask about the Mosaic Law, when I'm talking about Romans 1? Again, Romans 1 is not "Old Testament." Do I literally have to spell it out for you? In Romans 1, Paul is talking about people who are deserving of death, and mentions, among others, homosexuals and murderers. God's...
