All the Epistles are written to and addressed to born again believers to encourage, teach, rebuke, admonish, and warn. If you still disagree, then read the first chapter, and the first few verses, of each Epistle to find out who the Epistles are written to. All the Epistles are written to and...

You can only make the Scripture say what you want it to mean by isolating "John 6:35-37" from "John 6:38-40." Lord Jesus did not stop his teaching at "John 6:37." For instance: Where in "John 6:35-37" does Lord Jesus identify who the Father gives to the Son? The answer is: No where in "John...

The New Testament Epistles are all written to the born-again true believers in Christ for their instruction, encouragement, admonition, and warning. IF you disagree, you must show why Paul is warning non-believers against falling away when all his letters are directed to the Churches of true...

That is your assumption. Can you show by Scripture that God is responsible for a person's faith? Acts 10:34-35 (WEB) 34 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism; 35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him...

That is correct. Romans 10:17-18 (WEB) 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. 18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did; “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” That...

The point Paul was making is plain; that the Gospel is foolishness to the Jew and Greek, but as for humble, whether Jew or Greek, they are receptive to the salvation held out to them in the Gospel and will believe. God has chosen that only the humble will understand and believe. And God's desire...

setst777 said: What Paul is plainly teaching in "1 Corinthians 1:21-25" is that the Gospel is the power of God onto salvation to all who believe (1 Corinthians 1:21), to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile, just as Paul also wrote in "Romans 1:16-17." You are not paying attention to the...

Keep reading the context and pay attention to the conjunction: "For." John 6:40 For [Lord Jesus now identifies who the Father gives to the Son] this is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the...

What Paul is plainly teaching in "1 Corinthians 1:21-25" is that the Gospel is the power of God onto salvation to all who believe (1 Corinthians 1:21), to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile, just as Paul also wrote in "Romans 1:16-17." Romans 1:16 (WEB) 16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel...

Yes, to understand we use exegesis. Changing the meaning, or adding your own assumptions, is not exegesis. As for John 6, I already gave an exact explanation of the Greek used for the word "For" in "John 6:40," and I also showed to you the context, beginning at "John 6:37" in post: TULIP an...

That is your philosophy. The believers are to remain in the faith to the end to inherit the promises. You choose to reject God's Word; so, that is on you. Hebrews 6:11-12 (WEB) 11 We desire that {{{each one of you}}} may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end, 12 that...

CadyandZoe said: Let's not overlook the essence of Jesus's argument here. According to Jesus, God is accountable for whether someone has faith in Jesus or not. People believe in Jesus because God has granted them to Jesus. Those who do not have faith in Jesus do so because God has not given them...

setst777 said: I am comfortable with what the Scriptures reveal about God's justice. When God judges people for their own sins, for rejecting His grace, then, of course this violates our human freedom, which is the due punishment for their wickedness. What do the Scriptures state? God is not...

setst777 said: In John 6:40, Lord Jesus does identify "who" the "all" are whom the Father gives to the Son, which Lord Jesus identifies as "whoever believes." The word "For" [Greek: gar] in "John 6:40" explains the reason for what was stated previously in "John 6:39;" in that, "everyone who...

I have no problem at all with God hardening a person's heart in judgment because they continually refused His grace. That is righteous of God to do so. setst777 said: Your own statements show that God can do nothing but create people for a particular destination considering what you believe...

In John 6:40, Lord Jesus does identify "who" the "all" are whom the Father gives to the Son, which Lord Jesus identifies as "whoever believes." John 6:40 states: “For [Greek: gar] this is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal...
