Okay, thank you for your views. Last question, how can you be 100% sure if you belong to God's elect? I remember the teaching of my youth, once you are going to die and then it's up to God where you end up, in heaven or hell. And you can't no for sure, ever. I am convinced I am born again, but...

DISTRACTION Today we got a letter from the mayor of our city, he congratulated us with our upcoming 50th anniversary of our marriage. While that's very nice of him it's also strange as if that is something special, while it should be normal. But it's a fact, I grew up in a Calvinistic country...

I thought we had agreed to make a fresh new start with no strings attached ?

Last time I checked, this is a Bible forum.

Exactly. I know you are not going to like it, but notice the pattern, pay attention to the first poster who starts to judge and to condemn.

Which human can say : Joh 17:5 - And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. Jesus (as only one) remembers His previous life with God, notable even before mankind was created. Matt 28:18 - And Jesus came and said to them, “All...

There is no free will in TULIP? If that is true, I would regret I have put 3 children on this earth as objects of God's wrath? While God said, Be fruitful and multiply, seriously? I am aware of all those passages in Scripture you posted but I see election and predestination in coherence with...

That!

Yes, I am very well aware, thank you.

Be careful of what you think the Holy Spirit revealed to you, it can be easily a thought of your own understanding. Consider that the Holy Spirit does not tell X to you and tells Y to someone else. Personally I hesitate to speak those big words, the Lord told me....

First accusation and judgement, based on what? In context with the above, second accusation and judgement, based on what? Third accusation and judgement, based on what? You changed Scripture, replacing forgiveness with freedom, how dare you. Where is your admission? Forth accusation and...

Yeah, saw that in a couple of his posts, incredible. Jesus is the Lamb slain, the sinless Lamb slain, no more OT animal sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins, Jesus sacrifice on the cross replaced it and not only for the Jews, but for the whole world. Simple spiritual understanding. Aside of...

Yes, that's my understanding as well, thank you.

Hello Ronald, nice to see you replying. I do not know why you assume I am so forgetful as I only had one point and question namely, that before a person becomes a vessel of wrath, he/she by free will rejected God, and for a long time, without conversion. What does TULIP say about that?

Thank you Johann for your hard work and to invite @marks for a second opinion is super. The idea to change Scripture to fit your doctrine and with that false doctrine collectively bully, accuse and condemn others is beyond my imagination, I would crawl and hide under the first stone.

Introduction at 30:00 to Acts 26:18 where the speaker changes the word forgiveness into freedom. Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are...

Is that you on the YT video Epi?

Rom 1:21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Rom 1:22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, Rom 1:23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling...

I think you are missing an essential part in John 17, namely that Christ (as only person in the Bible and as any person can say) refers and remembers the life He had before He came to Earth. Joh 17:5 - And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before...
