sadly, many Christians have supported the republicans who are just as wicked in many ways as the demoncrats. They will give an account of every vote, penny, and motive while they were in office.
The Kingdom of God is what I am looking forward to, not this earthly kingdom which stands in God's judgment even now...

Jonah's preaching did result in nationwide repentance, but again, that was one verse from this book, the other 4 chapters were about Jonah being too self-righteous. Once again, we need to use all the information from the whole chapter, the whole book and the whole Bible, and not just one verse. By the way, Jonah was just a unwilling messenger, God did the convicting! But still a good point. Thanks Shane Jonah being 'self righteous'? How is being fearful to tell the wicked Ninevites to repent being prideful or self righteous? You got the last part right, Jonah was unwilling. But, we should learn from that and go and tell the world their need to repent and obey the Gospel. Amen.

I have to pray about one hour before I can do 30 minutes of preaching. For me to attempt to preach on my own power always results in failure. We most certainly can do more harm than good if we preach on our own terms with our own pride controlling what comes out of our mouths. When I see someone preach on the "evils of the bikini", I have to wonder what is up. Preach the word, not your opinion, "His Holy Word" does not need any help! Let His Word do its job. Let His Spirit convict the sinners, preach the Bible and nothing else. To do anything else is just wrong no matter how you try to justify it. Brother are you implying that we are not praying, and we are trying to preach on our own power? Bikinis are wicked and the women that wear them are likely Jezebels. A godly woman is modest. 2 Tim 2 Should we not clearly call out the sins of the people? Repentance involves forsaking the wickedness they live in and loving the Lord Jesus in obedience to His gospel. They need to count the costs of following the Lord Jesus. The servant is not greater than the Master.

You are supressing the truth of God. Stop being so foolish, you speak just as your father the devil. If you will not turn from your wickedness you will be justly condemned by the God who has the power and authority to crush you to powder. Do you have ALL knowledge Mr. Atheist? Can you prove your blind faith there is NO God? I did not think so...

Hey Tony, that is very interesting. I have sometimes found that some police officers will say whatever they choose to even though the law says something else. For example using a bullhorn which some of the posts mention; most municipalities only have a restriction of amplification during certain hours of the day 10pm-7am and some areas residential etc. I have experienced showing the officers the actual municode in order that they would admit that we are within the law. Some of the posters have redefined lawful assembly. A preacher does not need a permit for people to assemble only the space to do so. Most preachers know we can not impede the flow of pedestrian traffic or try and make people stay and listen to the preaching. Also the speech should not be hindered because people don't like it or are reacting violently to it. The offenders that is the ones who are 'actually' disturbing the peace should be warned and then arrested if they do not comply. As far as I know every police officer takes an oath to support and defend the constitution of the muni, county, state, or federal. These are the supreme laws of the land which every one of us must submit to. Most every one of these contain some language parallel to the federal first amendment which guarantees freedom of speech and religion.
Unfortunately, most open air type meetings have been neglected by the visible church in America. This has led us to do all manner of wickedness to try and draw people to God, when He has said preaching is the method.
God bless you Tony!

We have a very nice family down the ridge from us that are YHWH believers. Basically, according to my understanding of their materials. The only true Name by which we can be saved is YHWH. Lord, God, Son, Jesus Christ are either labels or pagan names that have been instituted over the centuries.
I think they are unitarians, but I can't get them to admit to that. From what I understand they believe in YHWH Elohim, and YHWH Messiach, and YHWH Holy Spirit. I am not sure I am communicating that properly but they believe in three offices and persons but they insist that YHWH is the Name of them all. For example, we must be baptized in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Well, if you are thinking those are three different names then why the singular for Name in the verse? But, if it is offices and the Name YHWH was deleted then it would make more sense. I know that the tetragammon, YHWH is Biblical and the Jews used this form as they did not want to blaspheme God's Name.
They have a clear Christian testimony, large family 11 children, and live godly in this wicked generation. Any thoughts or additional information about this group would be greatly appreciated.
God bless you.

Jon you still hold that you can not lose salvation?
If so, how do you interpret 2 Pet 2:20-22?
Thanks.

Got Fruit? is a great tract from PPE for the Bible belt. It destroys most 'professing Christians' view of themselves. It is really good, it will be the next bulk order I do.

Well here's the thing. The sinless perfection doctrine that Jed preaches bothers me greatly. I don't believe that anyone can be sinlessly perfect. If you look at Jesus two great commands. I think that the rightful conclusion is that we are in a constant state of falling short. Please don't take this as I don't believe in Holy living....I do. I do not believe that Jed has come anywhere near the righteousness of Jesus Christ. As evidenced by his remarks and self reliance. “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.” “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Inconsistent. You believe in Holy living, yet you can't or won't. The question you must ask yourself is; which one is the truth.

Great arguments brother! I used the witness credibility argument for the reliability of the Bible yesterday at UT Knoxville. It was great they were dumbfounded for about 4 minutes, then they raged even harder! I need to learn more about crowd control I guess...
God bless you.

Your false testimony is your condemnation. Jesus said, 'Liars have thier part in a lake of fire.'
You might want to try reasoning vs. ad hominen attack it is just more like Christ. God bless you.

You did great brother Rhema! Keep up the great work in the Lord. Many have been forsaken by friends and family at the fire of God's Words.
My pastor for 10 years could not explain 2 Cor 7:10 to me, can any in these lukewarm churches?

hey Steve, Paul in Rom 7 is explaining his wicked condition prior to salvation. Otherwise Rom 6:1 makes him a schizophrenic.
Heb 10:26-31 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The LORD will judge His people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Michelle, I pray that our answers on the show were helpful, if not please feel free to post/email again. Keep seeking the Holy Spirit to teach you, He will be found. 1 John 2:27
But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
God bless you.
John

I listened to part of this audio. I agree with others that Arminius and Calvin are too close in their theology to lead to enough refutation to make a debate interesting.
God bless you guys.

Ez 28:12-19 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:
“ You were the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created. 14 “ You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. 15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you. 16 “ By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within, And you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing Out of the mountain of God; And I destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the fiery stones. 17 “ Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings, That they might gaze at you. 18 “ You defiled your sanctuaries By the multitude of your iniquities, By the iniquity of your trading; Therefore I brought fire from your midst; It devoured you, And I turned you to ashes upon the earth In the sight of all who saw you. All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you; You have become a horror, And shall be no more forever.”’”
Lucifer was in the garden of Eden, before: he sinned and was cast out of heaven, became the devil and then tempted Adam and Eve to destruction.

So jsides, this post was about the fallacy of open theism? I thought it was about Satan being able to repent? Maybe that was a little deceptive on your part.
Lucifer was in intimate fellowship with God, he betrayed the One who created him. He also tempted 1/3 of the other creatures in heaven against the Almighty. This is why God created Hell, for Satan and his demons. Did God create Hell for humans?
By the way, who exactly have you read about open theism anyway? What exactly is your understanding of this often misunderstood and maligned theological system.
Lastly, I am not an open theist, I am a Christian.
