DEBATE: John 3:3-8, Why Isn't Everybody Supernaturally "Born Again" by God?

Larry Wessels, director of Christian Answers/Christian Debater (YouTube channel: CANSWERSTV, websites: BIBLEQUERY.ORG, HISTORYCART.COM & MUSLIMHOPE.COM) debates Steve McCalip, author & producer of "KingJamesVideoMan," on the subject of WHO did Jesus die for. Bob L. Ross, leading publisher of Charles Haddon Spurgeon (please check official website: PILGRIMPUBLICATIONS.COM), is the moderator. Educational backgrounds of debaters: Wessels- Bachelor of Science in Advertising from the University of Texas at Austin, completed extension course taught by Dr. J.I. Packer of Regent College, Vancouver, Canada, studied virtually every book or tape produced by Walter Martin of the Christian Research Institute & Dr. R.C. Sproul of Ligonier Ministries, worked with Pilgrim Publications (C.H. Spurgeon) since 1990, attended Dayspring Fellowship of Austin, Texas (Pastor Jackson Boyett, www.dayspringchapel.org) since 1982. McCalip- Bachelor's degree from Baylor University, 2 Master's Degrees in Education from the University of Houston. Theological background: Wessels- Classical Protestant Reformed Doctine, Affirms the Trinity (Father , Son & Holy Spirit), McCalip- Arminian Doctrine, Denial of the Trinity, Affirms King James Bible only. A popular book out is entitled "History's Greatest Lies;" although this book doesn't mention the following it should have: Darwin's Evolution Theory, Global Warming, Muhammad was a prophet of God, the only true "church" is headed by a Roman Pope, etc. Another "greatest lie" would be to say Jesus died for people He did not indeed die for. There are only 3 possibilities: 1. Christ died to save all men therefore all are saved 2. Christ died to save no one in particular (men then must save themselves) or 3. Christ died to save a certain number (who God then actively saves) from eternal damnation in the Lake of Fire. This debate has been going on for centuries & in recent times has had more notoriety because of a book written by Dave Hunt of "The Berean Call" entitled, "What Love Is This?," which makes many of the same emotional Arminian arguments as Steve McCalip in this debate. Multnomah Publishers also produced a book entitled "Debating Calvinism" between Hunt & James R. White of Alpha & Omega Ministries. Ergun Caner of Islam fame has also taken issue with "The Five Points of Calvinism," namely: 1. Total Depravity, 2. Unconditional Election, 3. Limited Atonement, 4. Irresistible Grace, & 5. Perseverance of the Saints. The real question, ""Is God sovereign over man or is man's free will sovereign over God & His purposes?" Who is REALLY in control?

This is just a single episode of a 24 part (10 minute presentation) debate. To see this same 4 hour debate in 1 hour segments as it was originally recorded, copy & paste the following title into the YOUTUBE search box, "DID JESUS DIE FOR EVERYBODY WHO EVER LIVED OR NOT? DEBATE."

@canswerstv no, I got the right video. God of Islam? Ohh u mean god of the world!

[CAnswersTV]

@pinkeraserpet12 Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like you're referring to the GOD OF ISLAM as the "god of the world" which actually relates to what the Bible teaches. 2 Corinthians 4:4 says, "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." Interestingly enough then, you're saying that Satan (Matthew 4:1-11) is the god or Allah of Islam which we would agree with.

Allahu akbar

[CAnswersTV]

@pinkeraserpet12 You've commented about the god of Islam on the wrong video. Please go to our YOUTUBE video, "SATAN IN YOUR NOSE & OTHER MUSLIM TEACHINGS," or our "DR JAMAL BADAWI REFUTED: ISLAM FAILS THE TRUTH TEST," or our "JIHAD: ISLAMIC HOLY WAR" (& more videos on Islam posted on our YOUTUBE account entitled CANSWERSTV). See also our full 1 hour videos on the religion of Islam here on YOUTUBE such as "ISLAMIC CULTURE: WOMEN AS SEX TOYS" or "LEGALIZED RAPE." We have 40 hours on GOOGLE VIDEO.

Steve: "They didn't receive it."

Why didn't they receive it and yet Steve received it? Steve is as much admitting that some receive it while others don't. Larry should have asked him WHY he received it and they didn't. Steve would have had to say it was either was because Steve made the right decision... or that God made the decision. Because in the final analysis, that is what it all boils down to... who decides who receives the Holy Spirit and has eternal life.

@CAnswersTV Just a follow-up to my original answer about the entire 4 hour debate being available on YAHOO VIDEO. Just a couple of weeks ago YAHOO VIDEO notified us that they were changing their format as of March 14, 2011. It basically sounded like they were no longer going to post videos which would mean that we could lose close to 170 videos there. If this happens, viewers can still go to VIMEO VIDEO (type LARRY WESSELS in their homepage search box) where we will try to repost everything.

john 3:3 is the most important verse in teh bible IMo

[CAnswersTV]

@fudgedogbannana Please see our Youtube video (by CANSWERSTV) entitled, "Mark 4:11-12, Jesus Speaks in Parables So People Will Not be Saved, Why?". This entire 4 hour debate can be seen on GOOGLE VIDEO, YAHOO VIDEO & VIMEO VIDEO (type LARRY WESSELS in their respective homepage search boxes & look for the title, "Did Jesus Die For Everybody Who Ever Lived? Debate." The 4th hour of the debate is specifically concerned with WHY DID JESUS SPEAK IN PARABLES? Jesus' doctrine doesn't fit Arminianism.

[fudgedogbannana]

Have you tried Mat. 13: 10-16 yet? Jesus spoke in parables so that those he didnt want wouldn't understand him.
