I've discussed election with you. I even agreed with you at one point,but you're too vague.
This is mainline Chrisitianity. I didn't make it up, it's been around since after the resurrection:
Jesus came to save the world because God so loved us all.
Thus, we believe in the incarnation of God in the being of Jesus.
We believe in the Trinity.
We believe in the Hyopstatic Union.
We believe in salvation by grace though faith in God.
We believe in confessing our sins to God for forgiveness.
We believe the Kingdom of God is in us and our of us, as Jesus said in John 3:3
The Christian religion has been in place many years, about 2,000. It's not up to us to make it anew.
I agree with all but the statement concerning the kingdom of God. But that is not the subject of this thread. And no one is making anything new.
Arn't you glad that is not all God wrote to give us concerning Himself, Jesus Christ, and our faith? He could have just used one small notepad and passed us the note.
Consider this. The doctrine of election is one reason many turn away from God. It was true in Jesus day also. (John 6:65-66) "And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him."
