Casob,Three passages of scripture for you 1 Corinthians 15:51-54 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. Isaia 25:8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. 1 Thess. 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Are these descriptive of the same event or two separate events? |

Casob wrote: Casob has some answers for Lone Wolf.First question: what is the strongest proof text defending the pretrib rapture. Only one verse please. First answer: If you have ever believed any doctrine from the Bible based on one verse, then you have the right to demand I do it. If you can honestly say you have I will believe you and give you a verse. Then why do you demand the reformed to support their position likewise. Fact is, the 5 points of the doctrines of grace are derived by linking passages together and not just from some isolated verse. The pretrib rapture is defended likewise. Casob wrote: Second question: Secondly what is the strongest proof text defending the mid trib and post trib position.Second answer: Why would you ask me that? There are no passages that support a mid or post trib rapture unless they are taken out of context. As a general question for other participants.Casob wrote: Third question: do you believe that the Old Testament believers will be resurrected and translated at this pretrib rapture? Third answer: NO Why not? Are they not redeemed by the blood of the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. |

My question for Casob is, what is the strongest proof text defending the pretrib rapture. Only one verse please.There will definitely be a resurrection and translation of the saints, living and dead when the Lord returns. Secondly what is the strongest proof text defending the mid trib and post trib position. Thirdly Casob, do you believe that the Old Testament believers will be resurrected and translated at this pretrib rapture? I know JD adamantly says no, what sayest thou? |

jay miklovic wrote: the real problem is 'dead fundamentalism'. people who 'know' the truth and love the truth for truth's sake, and yet their lives make it obvious that the truth they know and love they certainly do not even believe. Pretty much in agreement. I don't see much in the way of joy in their faces. They may smile with their lips, but not with the eyes. They are often busy, busy, busy in the ministries of the church, but don't have much time to love the bretheren with encouragement, exhortation and compassion. |

So Yamil, how would you handle Romans 9:21-23? Does this not prove God's sovereignty in election to you? Two groups of people are given. 1. Vessels unto honor 2. Vessels unto dishonor. 1. Vessels of wrath 2. Vessels of mercy 1. The vessels of wrath were fitted for destruction. The Greek word for "fitted" also means "perfected" Matt. 21:16, Luke 6:40, "prepared" Hebrews 10:5, "framed" Hebrews 11:3, "Make perfect" Hebrews 13:21, 1 Peter 5:10 So the vessels wrath were made perfect and prepared for the day of destruction. 2. The vessels of mercy afore prepared (same Greek word as "before ordained" in Eph. 2:10) unto glory. The doctrine of election is only one application of the general doctrine of predestination and foreordination. Romans 9:15-16 tells us, "For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy." |

For God So Loved the World wrote: I invite you to take the floor, Lone Wolf: What is the single most powerful passage of Scripture that you believe clearly states the truth of unconditional election and how is it that the context proves that it must be so? Fair enough. Can we agree that the word "elect" means "chosen"? Can we also agree on who does the choosing, God or man? Who are the elect and when were they elected? Over the weekend I will prayerfully prepare my briefs and will present it from what I can derive from several passages of scripture. Some to be considered are: Matt. 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. Matt. 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. Romans 9:11 For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth) Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. |

Minnow wrote: SermonAudio I don't know why you removed the post below. However you're in charge. As for Alias "The Lone Wolf" he is clearly playing games. And what do you have to base that on. I have 11 post to choose from. Bearing false witness is a very serious matter. From the 11 post there are, 12 including this one, on what premise do you base your accusation? Just click on the glass icon and show me where I am playing games. |

R. K. Borill wrote: Without election, there is no salvation, because Jesus died in place of the elect, that the elect might live. The elect were the "travail of his soul" Isa. 53:11 Like faith, repentance is a gift of grace to the elect. Otherwise, none would be saved being left to themselves. But, for Jesus' sake the elect are given faith and repentance. Eph. 2:8-9 The elect are predestined to salvation by the grace of God. If one believes the truth of the Word of God, he does so only because of the grace of God, not for anything in himself. We are altogether unclean and without hope in the world apart from the mercy of God. No argument there. Christ died for his sheep (the eect). He laid down his life for his sheep (the elect). He shall save his people (the elect) from their sins. Christ loved the church (the elect) and gave himself for it (the church). Christ sheep (the elect) hear his voice and they (the elect) follow him. You are right, the elect are predestined unto salvation. However that comes on God's timing, when He chooses to quicken and regenerate them. They are not saved at birth unless He sovereignly regenerates them in the case of infant death. |
