pretribulation john ie trib

i dont know why im ill its because i was supposed to do something recently and i didnt but i havent worked it out yet as there are several possibilitys i had also been overdoing it a bit in the workshop...

he was not willing in the gratuitous sense that they perish but he certainly willed it and ordained it frm the begining and therefore must have thought it good.

im in bed wth a chest infection at the moment listening to john macarthur and doing this and snoozing

maybe hes pastor at that brownback church we here so much about these days ?

thankyou, carry on

i dunno john maybe id be ok with street preaching, but the closest i got is some u tube videos ! i always either talk about the gospel on ships or leave some tracts, - yesterday i was on a drill ship the captain was very hospitable and we talkedabout geology he an old earther evolutionist so agter discussing local geology i said i didnt believe that everything was old and that it was from the genesis flood but he didnt seem interested - there we go its sad to think that that a likeable person is not the least bit interested in a biblical explanation. the reaction instantly informs me that he would rather walk in the 'pride of life and the lusts of the flesh' sadlyan enemy of God

thanks for asking about the presentation last night. it went very well, ive never done anything like that but i worked very hard to keep it tight and practiced speaking on my own and there were no problems apparently it was very smooth i know i had some good material i was just worried about delivery. information theory, origins and dna is not an easy subject to talk about as its rather dry but the message with regard to origins and jesus as the word and pauls romans 1v20 is i believe quite distinct and it went dpown very well with the brethren as it was something new and got the unsaved thinking to so very satisfying and now i know i can do it.
praise God that he has given you the courage to preach in the streets as you do, my heart would shrink at the prospect ! yes well sunny here gr8

i went to different churches from time to time over the years to find something and heard christ crucified for your sins (sometimes)- guess what? i didnt care and niether do the vast majority of people. 'come to jesus' - why ? I loved my sin so do all the lost. they dont like God if they want to change they cant because free willism teaches that you have to do it - even the lost know that its impossible - what despair the arminist message filled me with and others also free willism offered no hope for a sinner like me. what a blessed relief then to learn that God knows this. faith and repentance is a gift from God. The idea of the sinner 'choosing' God is so obviously at odds with life and scripture i wonder its ever taught

robert, i think that perhaps you know our calvinist brethren somewhat better than i do !

That does not preclude love of the brethren and I never met anyone who took the bible seriously who was vain about what they knew but i find it remarkable that many i have met who are biblically ignorant but make enormous claims based upon hardly any knowlege or application and in fact the same people actualy dont believe a lot of the bible ! like never reading the old testament and then only occasionaly the new instead of every day. The unsaved person may ask them a question like who wrote the bible, and they dont know or what have you been saved from ? and they cant say

I take pleasure and satisfaction and comfort in understanding good doctrine because God has given understanding and if he does then its a sign of election and calling and approval.
God first people second

example of closing down discusion -
inference - the discusion of doctrine is not a matter above life and death (it is ) but something we all agree about at all costs even if truth and understanding is sacrificed

thx for the stats Still a Mission World but you dont answer my proposition niether does any one else. we all know theres heaps of individuals who havent heard the gospel but the places they live in have, without exception and no one has gainsaid me yet, the whole world has been evangelised at some point in church history the fact that residents in these places dont get good preaching is immaterial to my argument
men by their wickedness have supressed the truth, today they actively persecute christians, hate the message of the gospel and in the past have rejected the word in favour of idolotary paganism and other heathen practices - i am confident that you cannot can supply me with a single example of a nation which has not had the gospel available to its people
