if Jesus had died for everyone, and His death was sufficient for everyone’s sins, then no one would goto hell. Jesus died so that the elect could be saved. The elect only!
If you aren't saved, then you don't have the Holy Spirit. If you don't have the Holy Spirit you will not understand the spiritual Bible. What are you doing?

Much love!

There are other passages, but for example, that does not reconcile with:

John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."​

Belief alone wont save you. God has to call you first. I believe yet im not saved. And Jesus died for the elect only, not one more person.
I agree belief alone will not save you, it takes saving faith.

I also agree one must be drawn. But Jesus said the HS will come and convict the world.

Jesus did not just die for the elect. he died for the world.

He claims to be a god unconditional love, You can not make that claim then not love everyone.

,God died for the world. because he loved it, that whoever believes in him will never perish but has eternal life

He who believes is not condemned, he who does not believe is condemned already.

If (as you say) you are not saved, then you do not have the Holy Spirit in whom is all truth, and therefore have no ability to speak to the truth of this topic.

How is it then that you carry on as if you know what you are talking about?

again, a lot of people on here who claim to be saved yet dont understand the Bible. I am merely giving my opinion as others are.

Why?

You don't understand the Bible, so how can you say what are and what are not Biblical beliefs? And why would you?

I'm not buying it.

Much love!

whats to buy?? Im merely giving my opinion of what i believe is Biblical doctrine AKA calvinism.
