If there is a point to what? And it is God's choice, not theirs. God predestines. Nobody chooses God naturally. The Bible explicitly states that. Do you deny it?
No, I fully agree with 1 Timothy 2:6. But you have to harmonize it with the rest of scripture instead of cherry-picking a verse. But you actually take that verse out of context. If you look at the beginning of chapter two Paul is talking about praying and making intercession for all types of people. He is continuing this in verse six. All types of people. The lowly, the rulers, rich, poor, Jew, Gentile. It does not say every individual as that would contradict Christ and even Paul himself in Romans.
I am of the opinion that every verse of scripture stands alone as a bastion of spiritual truth. And also, the immediate or topical context never nullifies the plain meaning of any singular verse.
That is nonsense and you know it. You can make the Bible say absolutely anything by doing that.
Well that explains why you are in serious error.
I know what it means. By the way, the Bible wasn't written in English. But when YOU say knowing before hand. Knowing what? What does that mean?
I think that by utilizing context, you can make the Bible not say what it plainly does say.
Sure it is. I have kjv right in front of me, the words are written down, plain and simple.
You think the English was the original? You can't be serious.
I asked you first. I want to know what you think it means. I know what it means. But I want to see what you think so I know where you are coming from.
As a courtesy I'll answer.
