- A.
Yes. Jesus died for the world, and offers salvation to all men. [The world here means every person in the whole entire world, and all means all of them!]

None of the above
- D.

Who?
- C.
A genius!
- D.
Sincere but wrong.
Correct Answer(s)

D. Sincere but wrong.Explanation
The question is asking for the description of James White. The options "Who?" and "Sincere but wrong" do not provide any information about his qualities as a scholar or his abilities in Greek and exegesis.

Which statement most closely resembles your belief about free will?
- A.
Truly free will existed before the fall, but since then all unsaved men have a depraved will.
- B.
We are free beings who can choose between chocolate and vanilla for no obvious reason. We have free will because we are free to follow our desires.
- C.
We are free agents: we determines our own choices (they are not externally determined) Thus, we are morally responsible for what we do.
- D.
Man has free agency, of course, even though God decrees man's every action, and man can justly be held responsible for his sins.
- E.
We have free will in the sense that we always have the option of acting otherwise.
Correct Answer(s)
C. We are free agents: we determines our own choices (they are not externally determined) Thus, we are morally responsible for what we do.
E. We have free will in the sense that we always have the option of acting otherwise.Explanation
The correct answer suggests that we are free agents and have the ability to make our own choices, which are not externally determined.

Additionally, the answer acknowledges that we always have the option of acting differently, indicating that we have free will in the sense that we can choose alternative courses of action.Rate this question:

God's grace can be resisted. True or false?
- A.
His grace can be resisted in the life of a believer, and the grace given to the non-elect can be resisted, but the grace associated with regeneration or salvation is effectual. It will not fail, it does not rely on the creature.
- B.
True.
- C.
False. None of God's grace can be resisted.
- D.
"Irresistible" isn't the best way to say it. You see, God's grace regenerates a person, and then the person does not WANT to resist!
- E.
God could have made His grace irresistible, but doesn't. He wants a real and voluntary relationship with people.
Correct Answer(s)
B. True.
E. God could have made His grace irresistible, but doesn't. He wants a real and voluntary relationship with people.Explanation
The correct answer is True. The explanation provided states that God's grace can be resisted in the life of a believer and in the grace given to the non-elect. However, the grace associated with regeneration or salvation is effectual and cannot be resisted. It is also mentioned that God chooses not to make His grace irresistible because He desires a genuine and voluntary relationship with people.Rate this question:

Is election unmerited and unconditional? That is to say, is God's election of a certain person not conditional on anything in that person or any foreseen qualities, works, or faith?
- A.
Absolutely! To believe otherwise would be prideful.
- B.
Yes, election is unconditional.
- C.
Election is unmerited, but is not unconditional. God picks conditions according to His good pleasure. Like salvation, it is conditional on faith which is not a work.
- D.
Election is unmerited, but is conditional.
Correct Answer(s)
C. Election is unmerited, but is not unconditional. God picks conditions according to His good pleasure. Like salvation, it is conditional on faith which is not a work.
D. Election is unmerited, but is conditional.Explanation
The correct answer states that election is unmerited, meaning it is not based on any qualities, works, or faith of the person being elected. However, it is not unconditional. God chooses conditions for election according to His own pleasure. One of these conditions is faith, which is not considered a work. This explanation highlights that while election is not earned, there are still certain conditions that must be met in order for someone to be elected by God.Rate this question:

Do you believe in God's secret decree, as opposed to His revealed will?
- A.
I believe in God's sovereign will which isn't the same as His moral will.
- B.
No I don't believe that. Why would God have conflicting wills?
- C.
Absolutely not!
- D.
Yes. God decrees everything, and we don't understand all of that. His ways are higher than our ways. This is different from His revealed will in the Scripture.
- E.
I believe in God's simple will (revealed will, moral will) as being a part of complex will, or the counsel of His will. These two do not contradict one another.
Correct Answer(s)
B. No I don't believe that. Why would God have conflicting wills?
C. Absolutely not!
E. I believe in God's simple will (revealed will, moral will) as being a part of complex will, or the counsel of His will. These two do not contradict one another.Explanation
The correct answer is a rejection of the idea that God has conflicting wills. It asserts that God's simple will, which includes His moral will and revealed will, is part of His complex will or the counsel of His will. This suggests that God's different wills do not contradict each other, but rather work together in a harmonious way.Rate this question:

- A.
The root of Semi-Pelagianism, and ultimately Arminianism.

The doctrine of the guy who taught that the doctrine of Original Sin is false.
- C.
Pelagianism views humanity as basically good and morally unaffected by the Fall. This is not what Arminus taught.

This belief contradicts the teachings of Arminius, who did not deny Original Sin and instead emphasized the need for God's grace in salvation.Rate this question:

What statement do you feel most strongly about? Which one offends you most?
- A.
Calvinism teaches that God is the Author of sin. Calvinists deny this, but it is the logical implication of what they affirm.
- B.
In Calvinism, God forces people to be saved and leaves others to burn without a hope: People don't really have free will then, and are like puppets or robots!!!
- C.
Arminianism teaches a man-centered gospel, which is based of tradition, eisegesis, and sentimentality.
- D.
God is dependent upon the creature.
- E.
God does not want all people to be saved enough to give them grace enough for them to even have a chance.
Correct Answer(s)
C. Arminianism teaches a man-centered gospel, which is based of tradition, eisegesis, and sentimentality.
E. God does not want all people to be saved enough to give them grace enough for them to even have a chance.Explanation
The answer suggests that the statement about Arminianism teaching a man-centered gospel, based on tradition, eisegesis, and sentimentality, is the one that the person feels most strongly about. This statement offends them the most because it implies that Arminianism is not based on sound theological principles or biblical interpretation, but rather on human-centered beliefs and emotions. Additionally, the statement that God does not want all people to be saved enough to give them enough grace for a chance also suggests a limitation in God's love and mercy, which may be offensive to the person.Rate this question:

Has God, before the world began, decided (based on unconditional reasons) whose eternal destiny will be heaven, and who will go to hell?
- A.
Yes. I believe in double-predestination.
- B.
No. God predestines people unconditionally to heaven, but does not determine ahead of time that the others will go to hell.
- C.
Yes, God decides those things, but He does not predestine anyone to hell.
- D.
No, God predestines people conditionally.
- E.
No.
Correct Answer(s)
D. No, God predestines people conditionally.
E. No.Explanation
The correct answer states that God predestines people conditionally. This means that God's decision on a person's eternal destiny is based on certain conditions. It suggests that individuals have free will and their choices and actions play a role in determining their fate. This view rejects the idea of double-predestination, which asserts that God has already decided who will go to heaven and who will go to hell before the world began.Rate this question:

- A.
Because faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. I love non-believers, want them to be saved, and so I want to share the good news with them!
- B.
Because God commands us to.
- C.
We witness because God has not only decreed the end result (of salvation for some) but also the means to get there (our witnessing)
- D.
We should witness out of love and concern for a person's eternal well-being.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Because faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. I love non-believers, want them to be saved, and so I want to share the good news with them!
D. We should witness out of love and concern for a person's eternal well-being.Explanation
The correct answer emphasizes the importance of witnessing as a means to share the good news of salvation with non-believers. The explanation highlights that witnessing is necessary because faith comes by hearing the Word of God, and expresses a genuine desire to see non-believers saved. Additionally, the answer mentions that witnessing should be done out of love and concern for the eternal well-being of others.Rate this question:

If God did not decree everything in detail, would He still be in charge? If determinism is not true, would God will be on the throne? If God allowed things, rather than determining them, would He still be God?
- A.
No. He would not be sovereign if He did not decree all things.
- B.
I wouldn't call it determinism, and I do think that part of God's decree is allowing things, but without God's eternal decree, He would not be sovereign.
- C.
Of course He would still be God. He is still in charge, and always will be, even if He does not control everyone's thoughts and actions. He rules as king over free subjects, and all will be judged by Him at the end of the day. Also, He intervenes to make what He wants to happen to actually happen, like in the story of Jonah.
- D.
He would still be God even if He abandoned earth!

Yes.

Yes, but His love for the elect is different from His love for the non-elect. He lovingly offers salvation to all, but those who ultimately reject that offer will be separated from His love forever in hell.
- C.
No, God hates some people. He loves some and hates others.
- D.
God loves everyone, even those He hates. He hates the wicked - I was once wicked, and yet I know that He loved me enough to die for me while I was still wicked and in my sins.
Correct Answer(s)
B. Yes, but His love for the elect is different from His love for the non-elect. He lovingly offers salvation to all, but those who ultimately reject that offer will be separated from His love forever in hell.
D. God loves everyone, even those He hates. He hates the wicked - I was once wicked, and yet I know that He loved me enough to die for me while I was still wicked and in my sins.Explanation
The correct answer explains that God loves everyone, but His love for the elect (those chosen for salvation) is different from His love for the non-elect. He offers salvation to all, but those who reject it will be separated from His love in hell. Additionally, the answer acknowledges that God loves even those He hates, as shown by His sacrifice for the wicked.Rate this question:

There are 22 definitions of "world" in the dictionary, and 6 definitions of the greek word for "all" in the New Testament. I cannot define them all here.
