    Why John MacArthur became a Calvinist.

    Here is a history of "easy believism" and how it is tied in with Dallas Theological Seminary. https://sharperiron.org/article/roots-of-easy-believism

    Why John MacArthur became a Calvinist.

    And yet you believe that a Christian's obedience to Christ has nothing to do with assurance when it comes to whether they are truly saved?

    Why John MacArthur became a Calvinist.

    Ekklesian "Grace is free by definition. Election is unconditional. But what do you mean by the proper noun, Free Grace? 1Co 6:9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men...

    Why John MacArthur became a Calvinist.

    One of the biggest problems I had with Calvinism was Romans 9. The apostle Paul talks about how God chooses some vessels for wrath and others for mercy, specifically verse 22 where it says God fitted vessels for the main purpose of destruction. I got a MacArthur Study Bible and looked at what...

    Why John MacArthur became a Calvinist.

    I started attending IFB, King James Only churches after joining the military in 1972 and my eyes were finally opened to the shallowness of evangelism I saw there. In a break between services from the Army to the Marine Corps I went back home and started attending a church affiliated with...

    Why John MacArthur became a Calvinist.

    Calvinism is no different than Dispensationalism. Both have their extreme wings. Spurgeon and MacArthur (and many others) were just as emphatic on infants and little children falling under the umbrella of God’s grace as those on this forum who are constantly blasting out how the little ones burn...

    No way! They would not have done this, would they?

    I haven't flown on an airplane since 1975 when I came back home from Germany in the military but my son flies fairly frequently. Sherry Walker has been an airline pilot for almost 35 years and what she brings to light is beyond scary. This interview by Tucker Carlson is broken down in easy to...

    Dictatorial Preacher Rule - Where It All Began

    If you consider the Methodist background of Bob Jones University and the fact that Bob Jones Sr. was the age he was, it makes sense that many of the rules back then carried over from the culture he grew up in.

    Dictatorial Preacher Rule - Where It All Began

    I would like to bring another perspective to this. My grandmother was born in 1883 and up to her 90’s before she passed away wore dresses practically down to her ankles. I don’t believe anyone on this forum would argue that at one time some things we take for granted today were strictly taboo in...

    Dictatorial Preacher Rule - Where It All Began

    I knew a missionary to Puerto Rico (Gary Bell) who had to fill out a questionaire asking what his wife wore to bed and he wrote down "usually nothing."

    Two Views of Pietism

    https://www.theblaze.com/abide/christian-sabotage-how-loser-theology-is-poisoning-the-church "Pietists assume the best way to glorify God is to lay down our power before our pagan overlords and subject ourselves to God-hating, abortion-loving, child-transing perverts. And when those people...

    Move on, nothing to see here...

    I seems some people don't know the difference between hiring people based on merit instead of checking race or gender boxes. Any company that would brag and promote the discrimination against men should be sued because it is illegal. Was it because of women pilots that were hired for the sake...

    Move on, nothing to see here...

    Could this be a factor? Any company that braggs about having all male employees would be sued.

    Donald Trump and Divine Providence

    America saved Europe from Hitler and his allies in World War II but why did God allow Hitler to kill millions of people to start with? People that can’t see the hand of God in anything are just negative people. Ray Comfort talking about when Abraham commissioned his servant Eliezer to find a...
