    Where did the past 20 years go?

    I don't know where the years went. 51, never had a gf, never married, living in a nice house with no mortgage. Not sure if that's all a good thing but it is what it is.

    One Quarter of 40-Year-Olds Have Never Married

    Never had a girlfriend. Never got married. Now 51 and knocking about in a nice semi-detached house with 3 bedrooms and no mortgage :). I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. However, it is what it is.

    I think I'm unregnerate, reprobate, vessel of wrath, despairing, tried all I can think of

    Men listening to women teach the Bible!

    Then what about the scripture which says women should not preach in church because of the created order, nothing to do with the "conditions at the time". 1 Tim 2 v 11 - 14.

    If God is sovereign how can man have free will?

    Right, but since only God can provide one with a transformed heart then you can't lay the blame on the unbeliever for not being saved.

    Not a believer, I think I committed the unpardonable sin.

    Do all Fundamentalist believe in a Pre Trib Rapture

    It's his brand of premillenial dispensationalism - one of the wackiest around. Personally I subscribe to neither premillenialism or dispensationalism, because to me they are prioritizing a particular interpretation of more obscure scripture passages (e.g. Revelation 20) over the plainer ones...
