I did not vet it, although she is probably right as is the senator.

Absolutely true, only the elect of God have faith, the rest may persist for a time but they will depart from Christ eventually. Titus 1 Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness,

Funny but the cherry picked verses are absolutely true, but you don't like the obvious conclusion of what they say, as that really will force you to change your mind, and only God can do that.

And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. Paul is hoping for the best. Then he warns them 16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone [b]defiles the temple of God, God...

Paul warns them, Paul cannot know if they will continue to practice the works of the flesh or repent. It is you who take so much out of context, Why? Because you do not like where the truth of scripture is leading. Just a few verse later, Paul warns these babes of destruction. And also you are...

Everything that happens to a person, who will be saved, is of God. Example Romans 8, 2 aspects here, those who love God, those who are called according to His purposes. Not all are called to be saved, only some are called to be saints... 28 And we know that all things work together for good to...

3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and [a]behaving like mere men? Hmmm, these are the works of the flesh... Those who practice the works of the flesh will NOT inherit the kingdom of God... Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of...

the 'Calvinist' can believe all the scriptures as written, I don't know what the others believe. What do you believe about the scripture here? Your interpretation is in error if you say anything of what I am exposing as the truth here is wrong John 6 ALL the Father gives to Christ WILL come to...

The fruit of the Spirit, one is being faithful. God has dealt to each one in the church a certain amount of faith. Some have more, some less. Faith comes from God, faithfulness to Christ is a mark of the work of God in your life, that you are saved. God only saves believers. When God grants...

Who here denies that your faith is the gift of God? Who here denies that your very belief in Christ has been granted to you? I know of plenty that deny this. Even if the scripture says it, they deny it. Course they also deny many other scriptures. Take your pick of Christian religious...

Not even the apostles knew absolutely who was saved and who is not saved, that is why in all their letters they wrote plenty of warnings! Even your own self, you could fall away and not have been an elect believer. I have known some to depart the faith, even some who seemed strong believers...

You cannot be saved unless God first makes you born again, only then can you both see and enter the kingdom of God. You have no real idea of what it means to be 'of God' or you would not say the things you do. John 8 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you...

Paul says many in churches whom he weeps over are DOOMED to destruction, enemies of the cross of Christ. Philippians 3 17 Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. 18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even...

Paul is also concerned they are false believers, fake brethren. Not all have faith, some have no knowledge of God even in the church back then.. If you live according to the flesh, this is not a sign they are saved. It is why he says it like this. 5 For those who live according to the flesh...

Only if God gives them ears to hear what He says... NO person can force anyone to believe on the inside, only God changes the heart. You do not acknowledge God's role in saving us at all, placing it primarily on the man. When it says saved by grace, granted you your belief, gifted you your...

Nope, you are refusing to acknowledge what is clear as day about How God saves us. You do realize to be carnally minded is death? 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For...

Romans 11:8 Just as it is written: “God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they should not see And ears that they should not hear, To this very day.”

We only listen to God as God has given us the ability to listen to what He says, and respond positively to God. No ears to hear what the Spirit speaks is common condition for the unsaved. Having ears to hear comes only from God. Example Deuteronomy 29 2 Now Moses called all Israel and said to...

Does not invalidate Romans 8 though. Enmity prevents reconciliation There are different kinds of carnality being spoken of by Paul. For saved carnal Christians, they are living to much indulgence in the flesh and not their spirit, but they do not have this enmity in their mind against God...

Actually, you do not know who is reading whatever is posted. These threads are more than about anyone one person. I don't write to always expect a response.
