Dear Kabone, Adam and Eve made a "choice" but the choice they made was caused by God. Prov 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD. Prov 20:24 Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way? Jer 10:23 I know, Jehovah...

Dear amigo de christo, This scripture is written in the spiritual language of Christ: Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Your understanding of it is carnal and not spiritual. The phrase...

Dear Ronald Nolette, I gave you a "like" on your post. However, I will say that God loves all mankind and because of such, He will save all mankind. Those who have been chosen for salvation in this age are only the first fruits of His harvest. The great harvest of mankind occurs at year's...

Dear TLHKAJ, You said: He calls to everyone. Those who actually respond to Him with faith and repentance .. those are the "chosen." No, Christ does not call everyone in this age. And no, those who respond to Christ with faith and repentance are not necessarily the "chosen". The "chosen"...

Dear amigo de christo, In order to understand the spiritual teachings of the New Covenant, a person must have their spiritual blindness healed. That blindness is only healed when they receive the Latter Rain of the Spirit (Mark 8:15-25). Only then can the Marriage Supper of the Lord occur and...

Dear Eternally Grateful, The Lake of Fire is the symbol for the judgment of Christ which destroys the chaff (carnality & spirit of anti-Christ) within a believer. It is not literal fire nor is it a literal place. Revelation chapter 19 presents the conversion of an Elect believer using the Lake...

Dear amigo de christo, You do not understand conversion. All mankind is condemned to perish because all mankind has sinned. Christ did not come to stop mankind from paying their sin debt of death - He came to make us into a new creation before we pay that debt. After the final age ends, all...

Dear amigo de christo, It is not only the desire of God to save all mankind, it is also is "will". But even if the salvation of all mankind is only a "desire", God will have that desire because He is God and not like mankind who frequently comes up short of their desires. Job 23:13 But he is...

Dear TLHKAJ, And as God's Word proclaims, Christ will cause everyone to believe and confess that Jesus is Lord: Phi 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ...

Dear Eternally Grateful, Thanks for a more detailed reply. I will make a few comments below: You said: 1. receive him. Only those who are given the Early Rain of the Spirit will receive Him. After they have the Spirit, they can no longer reject Him. When a person "receives" Christ, they do...

Dear Behold, Yes, but that does not state how Christ accomplishes the conversion of a sinner. The details of the pathway to salvation are taught frequently in scripture but are given "here a little and there a little" (Isa 28:9-12). To understand the full pathway to salvation, those pieces...

Dear JunChosen, Jer 17:9 is only true of the heart that is within an unconverted person. For a converted believer who has been given both the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit, they will have a "new heart" which is governed by a "new spirit" (Holy Spirit): Eze 36:26 A new heart also will...

Dear Behold, You said: Notice also, ...you are 1st """SANCTIFIED "in CHRIST",.. and that precedes,..,= 2nd = the "called to be saints". Here is how that works. And example... You have to become a Christian, before you can be called a Saint. From your comments, I can tell that you do not...

Dear Eternally Grateful, Where is your scripture? It is easy to say someone is wrong but to present the scriptures that contradict what they have said is not so easy. Joe

Dear Eternally Grateful, This "idea" comes from God's Word. Shortly after I was converted in 2005, Christ taught me this truth along with many others. To understand what is involved for a person to be called to be a saint, one must understand the concept of the Early and Latter Rains of the...

Dear Earburner, Not everyone has the potential to become a temple of the Living God before they die. They have either been chosen to become a temple for God to dwell in or they have not. If they have been chosen, Christ will do all the necessary spiritual work to make it happen. As for your...

Dear Ritajanice, In this world, most of mankind is not called to be saints. They will remain unbelievers until they die. They have no choice in the matter. However, there are "many" people who are called to be saints. But from that large group of "many", only a "few" of them are chosen by...

Dear Behold, You do not understand Christ's plan for saving "all" mankind. You are only seeing the early portion of Christ's harvest of mankind. Don't you know that God's Word teaches that there will be TWO harvests of mankind? Exo 23:16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy...

CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... The second set of verses below represents Paul’s repentance and subsequent conversion: Acts 9:10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. 11 And the Lord...

Dear gordon7, "Doing good" is a result of conversion. The good works do not cause conversion to happen. Christ must clean the inside of the cup first so that the outside is truly clean (Mat 23:25-26). The Law (man's works) only makes a person appear clean on the outside when inside they are...
