    Great site dear soldiers. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds II John10:4). We are certainly in a great battle to save the Holy Bible from modern corruption, and the believing world from judgment. I've often heard the great Dr. Alan Redpath teach on the need for sound preachers who honor and expound the word of God. I consider you guys as chief leaders in that regard, and look forward to more of same from the Mountain Retreat.

    Hello Mr. Warren,

Writing to tell you how much I liked your article here. http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/bible/stone.html

I came upon this article by searching “Jesus First Miracle”. I was searching because somehow it was pointed to me recently the significance of the Jewish ceremonial pots identified in The Gospel of John documenting Jesus first miracle. It’s clear to me that all world religions even Jewish tradition of cleansing is bankrupt and how marvelous the Wisdom of God was to use those ceremonial cleansing pots by filling them with the emblem of the Blood of Christ as the ONLY way to be clean before God. You put it much better in your article. I have read about that miracle for years and missed the significance and depth of Jesus at the wedding. Thank you very much for writing your wonderful article. I have sent it along to some missionary friends.

Thank you Tony and and all who work so hard to make these articles and resources available. Your expository teaching of the Bible has been such a tremendous blessing to me and I'm sure many others as well.

    Special greetings to Reformed Baptist who sent me a link to this website and brought these God authored doctrines to my attention. After reading much of what is here, I trust it will be an instrument to spread the true gospel message. Thanking God for the beautiful spiritual mountain retreat that you have provided to the glory of the Lord. My the Lord richly bless you in this outreach and I know that many precious souls have been educated in the true doctrines of grace for the Lord through this ministry.

    Thank you all kindly for addressing the questions of Christians who are wrestling with issues related to Reformed theology and evangelism. I had been previously misinformed on this issue mainly because I was listening to others who oppose the doctrine of election to define this theology and not going to the source. God knows it's always better to hear the doctrines from those who hold it, not those who oppose it. God bless this site and I pray he continues to equip us all to be worthy ambassadors of his calling.

    Hello Tony,

Thanks for your article re divorce and remarriage. It is good that people like yourself are speaking out against the sin of divorce and remarriage. Sadly there seems to be a minority of voices with this view.

16 years ago my wife divorced me unexpectedly. I had previously come to a similar conclusion re what the scriptures taught about divorce and remarriage. So I found myself in the position of having to live what I believed. After some years I thought to put my experience and thoughts on a website (above) with the hope others might benefit and avoid the pitfalls of divorce. If you have opportunity I would welcome your comments too. In the intervening years my wife and I have rebuilt a close and enduring friendship. By the grace of God, had I believed I had the 'right' to remarry it would probably be a different story.

Peter

    To whom it may concern,
I spend up to 20 hours a week on the internet and I must say that your site is one of the best that I have found in any country on the topic of biblical theology. A library like this is so needed where those who preach the uncompromised word of God can be read. What a blessing. It's like going to church without without leaving my living room. I've often heard Tony Warren decry modern theology and promote the need for faithful preachers who honour God by their uncompromising teachings, and I concur. Especially here in Great Britain. May the Lord continue to embrace this resource.

    I like your website and old fashioned style, but I disagree with your premise about sovereignty which is against the human will. Free will is a basic human quality and there are few social or bible conditions which interfere with it. Conditions are a means of works, not grace. In the new testament, we are not under law or conditions, we are under grace. Grace means no conditions. Free will is part of the human nature which God has allowed us.
Thanks for listening to my feedback.
Bob

 

Reply:     Bob, You say sovereignty is against human will and I agree! Which means that if we believe in a sovereign God, we cannot also believe in man's sovereign will, else God's will is not sovereign. God can't be supreme ruler and also be "subject" to man's own rule or will. It's a contradiction of terms. We cannot be born of God by our own free will, and also by any sovereign will of God. It's one or the other, even as God's word itself attests: John 1:11-12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." Free will has "not" been a basic human quality since the fall, and the Christian doctrine is that humans are either in bondage to the spirit of evil (Hebrews 2:14-15) or are a bondservant [doulos] or slave to the Spirit of Christ (1 Corinthians 7:22; Ephesians 6:6). The doctrine of Christians being set free from bondage of sin by grace does not mean that they came to Christ by their own free will, but that the Lord by His sovereign will, came to them. It is indeed true that "we are not under law or conditions, we are under grace" in terms of our salvation, however there is no such law of "man's free will to come to Christ (John 6:44), there is but the God ordained privilege to ask. And when we ask in true and earnest desire, you can be sure that it is God who was drawing us to do so. God is not sitting in the heavens, wringing his hands, hoping that some might per chance come to Him. For He knows that none will (Romans 3:11-12), and so by His own arm, His own sovereign good will and pleasure, He chooses to draw some unto salvation. To be sure, Sovereignty of God [b]is[/b] against Free Will, because free will takes away God's sovereign choice and leaves it up to the will of man. This is a direct contradiction to John 1:11-12 which says salvation is decidedly "not" by the will of man, but God. Sincerely, Tony Warren

    I enjoy this website tremendously, but I do have one thing that I do not agree with. In your statement of faith as well as your article entitled "what must I do to become saved," I have not found water baptism there as a requirement. The bible says that baptism is required and so I believe that should be included.

    Same sex marriage is clearly found to be a sin in the Bible. Does God tell us to change with the times - or stay steadfast? Many sins - for example - sins of the mind - do not 'hurt' another, but that does not mean that they are not sins. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God - but when we try to logically explain our sin - we are only fooling ourself - and that is not of God.
