    What Would Jesus Say About Christmas - by our friend lesjude

    This is Judy of Lesjude and I want you to know that Leslie went to be with Jesus 5/24/2013. He died here at home just the way he lived, worshipping Jesus, passionate for God' s word and compassionate toward God' people. Les and I were married 46 years and walked with Jesus together 35 yrs by...

    Could This Person Be Righteous?

    Acts 16:31 is true. Only believe and intercede as the Holy Spirit directs. God will draw your children from His side; from their side they will think they made a free will choice. No one really does however because without effective grace no one would choose Jesus. Here is what we are to do at...

    Could This Person Be Righteous?

    The person was never a Christian in the sense of NT Christianity. This is a good answer. I find few that see what you have said below. I am not sure about whole nations being saved but there will be individuals based on Revelation 20:11-15 who will not be a part of those who overcome in the...

    Could This Person Be Righteous?

    Could This Person Be Righteous? This person left God's perfect plan and was quarrelsome with those following God. He/she offered their children for immoral purposes and had no credibility with members of their family when they tried to point them to God's will. He/she acted as a judge of...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    The context of Romans 2:11 is the punishment of sinners and the reward of the righteous. All will be punished whether under law or not. Those who are elect will be rewarded. The "story" of Esau and Jacob is exactly the pattern for God choosing His elect saints before time began: Romans 9:11-13...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    Yes, however this is made reference to the saved in the church not to all sinners. You will never find a message addressed to the unsaved in the NT that states God loves sinners. Suicide is a sin that is difficult to repent of. All that anyone can say of a professing Christian or anyone else who...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    The elect are aware they are choosing life. This is what the Bible teaches. No, all would be lost by a freewill choice. No, they are aware of choosing life . They reject the gospel and have no idea nor do they care they have chosen death. Those that choose life know they have chosen and are...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    You miss the point that unless God had predetermined some for salvation NONE would be saved. They have no idea they are choosing destruction and ALL have their own view as to what happens when they die. None of those views includes eternity in torment. All the non elect scoff at that idea.

    Does God Love Sinners?

    You do not grasp the fact that they made FREEWILL choices to do as they did. Romans 9:20-21 New King James Version (NKJV) 20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Does not the potter have power...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    God is "partial" from the humanist point of view. Jesus was partial to Peter, James, and John Matthew 17:1-13. Jesus called Judas a devil to his face John 6:71. He told a large number of His disciples who decided not to follow Him any longer they could not anyway John 6:65-66. God drowned all...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    God does not contradict Himself. He knows ALL men will not be saved, only the elect. The context is prayer for all the unsaved, especially those in authority so believers can live their Godly convictions in peace. We do not know who the elect are but God gives His saints the privilege of praying...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    God does love His elect while they are sinners and gives them grace for salvation. The rest make a freewill choice to continue in sin. Believers can know by FAITH that their family will be saved based on Acts 16:31 and can know they will have fruit (people saved) that remains IF one is willing...
