It is the act of those to whom God gave the gift of faith. John Wesley the Arminian agrees faith is a gift as he states on Eph. 2:8 "By grace ye are saved through faith - Grace, without any respect to human worthiness, confers the glorious gift. Faith, with an empty hand, and without any...

1 John 2:2 again, letting the Jews who made up the early church, know God loved the whole world, which included the Gentiles. The use of "all" is like the word "world", it is a general term that must be viewed in context. It means "all" of those under consideration. Do the following uses of...

We are only accepted in the beloved Son of God. "To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved." (Eph 1:6 KJV) We are "in Christ" by God's act - "By God’s act you are in Christ Jesus; God has made him our wisdom, and in him we have our righteousness...

I have many translations on software and on my bookshelf. I've not found one that in Rom. 9:13 reads "loved less". "And as that love towards Jacob must be conceived of as completely independent of foreseen virtues (Rom 9:11), so also this hatred towards Esau as completely independent of...

for God did so love the world, that His Son--the only begotten--He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during. (John 3:16 YLT) ‘God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that everyone who has faith in him may not perish but have eternal...

I do not try to prove to these godless jackasses that Moses was real and existed. Jesus spoke of Moses and that is good enough for me. I put the veracity of Jesus Christ as the ultimate proof. Then Jesus said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest...

Behold, again you evaded the question of how you know "world" in John 3:16 means every person without exception. Since you are unable to support your claim, I will support my view of the word "world". I KNOW "world" in John3:16 cannot mean every individual without exception. Knowing this I...

We are still awaiting your exegesis of John 3:16 showing why "world" means every man in every age without exception? You are merely "spoof texting" trying to get around what you obviously are not capable of giving us. Spoof Texting is being ignorant of the meaning of individual verses, and...

In writing "the Cross of Christ is given to ALL.... John 3:16", why not prove your point?? The word "world" in both English and the Greek kosmos have about 8 meanings each. Now, please illustrate and prove that "world" in Joh 3:16 means every individual that lives, has ever lived or will ever...

I've always found it interesting that it is the religious people who are determined to reject the absolute sovereignty of God over all, including a person's eternal salvation. The seeking and/or hurting person needing a life changing encounter with one who has the power to heal/help him; does...

The verse 10 itself makes it clear. The lousy wine is given after people have imbibed so much they'd not know the difference. But, if you wish to see other translations, that is fine - and saith to him, 'Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely...

God's will of decree includes his election(predestination) of persons for salvation "and all who dwell on earth will worship it, every one whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain." (Rev 13:8 RSV) "When the Gentiles heard...

Dev, the history, or legend is that the Baptist preacher Elijah Craig is who first invented or discovered bourbon. The wedding feast you mentioned is interesting for the amount of water Jesus turned into wine - His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now standing there were...

I'm not sure about "top or bottom", but I know there are the "elect" and there are the "reprobate". God loves and cares for those he chose, the elect. Those for whom he died to provide their salvation.

"Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." (Matt 28:19-20 ASV) I do not...

Jesus did of course keep the Sabbath. He was a Judean living under the Old Covenant! The Old Covenant that he nailed to the cross, Col. 2:14.

God is Immutable, Does not Change "God is not a human being, that he should lie, or a mortal, that he should change his mind. Has he promised, and will he not do it? Has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?" (Num 23:19 NRSV) "They will perish, but you endure; they will all wear out like a...

God is One, a Unity "Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD alone." (Deut 6:4 NRSV) "So all the peoples of the earth will know that the Lord[Yahweh] is God, he and no other, and you will be perfect in loyalty to the Lord[Yahweh] our God as you are this day, conforming to his statutes...

The attributes of God are those descriptions that can thought of as "God is ----", giving us an understanding of his nature as he has revealed himself to us. It is basic theology, which comes from "theos", meaning God, with "ology" which is means a branch of knowledge or science. God has given...

"In the beginning God..." Gn. 1:1, before time, because time is determined by the lights in the sky, sun and moon, which God created Gn. 1:14. Therefore we know that God existed prior to anything else, any creation. Paul, speaking of those rejecting God as without excuse - "For what can be...
