Absolutely, but you did not address the why! Why make the change from Predestined to Foreordained? what? just because? chuckle.
Since you agree that they're synonyms, then it doesn't MATTER why one was used over the other.
Alert or warning, do not read any more if you consider this should be on another form for discussion... none of the below will be of any worth to you... hmm
This simply shows how disingenuous Mormons are.
He CONTINUES off-topically attacking the critics' beliefs, and therefore BREAKING the rules. And so I have two options:
1) respond to his comments, and thereby ENABLE him to continue being off-topic.
2) ignore his comments, and allow them to stand unaddressed, and so he successfully misrepresents what we believe.
For Mormons, it's a "win-win", which is why they continue breaking the rules.
I had a red letter King James version when I was 10yrs old... and you call that garbage! on my!
Very disingenuous of you.
I was speaking of the ADDITIONS you wrote in Rom. 8 which you put in bolded red.
Christ is never quoted in Rom. 8.
So why must you continue to misrepresent me?
And that is why Calvinism claims so many souls... and I would say you ignore the Billions and Billions since the time of Adam.. and you say God limits his love... sorry but I don't really have a desire to belong to such a elitist body of Christians...
Nothing but worthless name-calling by you.
Why did Christ waste his time in hell
Why do YOU assume "Christ wasted His time"?
I don't.
And Calvinist have what value? that a limited loving God would decide in advance that millions of Jews would be gassed alone with their babies and children?
It was evil for the Germans to murder them for unjust and evil reasons.
But unless you want to claim that the Jews were sinless (Newsflash: they weren't), God was perfectly just in what He did.
If God caused me to be killed in gas chamber, or die in a fire, or be struck by lightning, He would be perfectly just.
The problem with Mormons is that they neither understand the holiness of God, nor the sinfulness of man.
Rom. 9:19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” 20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power,
has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory— 24 e
ven us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles?
That rapist would even rape a child? my, my that is quite a limited loving God...
And that rapist will be condemned for what he CHOSE to do.
I understand why now! you admitted to a limited loving God ... hmm ... so until Calvin came around folks did not understand the limited Loving God..
You are completely ignorant of church history.
You are also completely ignorant of the Bible.
Psa. 5:5 The boastful shall not stand before your eyes;
you hate all evildoers.
Yes, knowing that Theo is one of the Chosen can be very humbling I imagine...
I know you meant that sarcastically, but it truly IS very humbling.
so why waste you time here if everything is already predestined?
Again you show your ignorance of the Bible.
But then again, I don't have to answer to you, do I?
I am consigned to hell no matter how well versed you are....
I don't know that, so I have to wonder how you are so sure.
But if you are so sure, maybe that explains why you act the way you do.
But for all I know, you could be one of the elect, and find your way out of Mormonism, and into truth, like Janice did, and the Wilders did...
you can't change someone who is predestined to be a Mormon...
You're right, I can't. And I don't try to.
But once again, you demonstrate your ignorance of the Bible:
1Cor. 3:5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
