    You might like to read the preceding verses... 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and...

    Where does it say in Scripture that everyone is invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb ?

    Is believing God has the right to choose one over another making God disingenuous? Didn't Paul address this argument directly? Romans 9 6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; 7 nor are they all children because they are...

    Personally I think that folks often tend to develop their theology to suit their personal faith journey. For me I had a shipwrecked life and He encountered me like Paul but not so extreme. After 11 years in rebellion and no hope His still small voice beckoned me to return to my Christian life...

    So posting Scripture is bad fruit ? Do you really think a demon would inspire this... Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created...

    Run AWAY from Calvinism!

    Again you make false accusations with no knowledge of my service to the Lord. I have not referenced any website. I post verses rather than arguing as He can speak for Himself as He watches over His Word. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves...

    I present scripture first and theology second... I leave you to argue with the Author, the originator of our faith.

    Hebrews 12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 1 Corinthians 12:9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by...

    Isaiah 11 Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit. 2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

    Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; John 1 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of...

    The Spirit of The Fear of The Lord is part of our Loving God Himself.

    6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. He followed the instructions of His Loving God - Jesus.

    Acts 2:39 For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as manyas the Lord our God will call to Himself.” Acts 13:48 When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord; and as manyas had been appointed to eternal life believed.

    Paul encountered the Love of God on the road to confirm what he was already sensing in his conscience. God is Love. And your telling me he could have resisted that !!! Nonsense...

    Yes I agree but I think the stiff necked in Scripture are unbelievers...

    So you don't believe in Irresistible Love - When Paul encountered Jesus on the Road He encountered Irresistible Love that changed His life completely. God is Love.

    Friendly Bible Study - participants must agree to Nicene Creed.

    However you raise a fair question - this is how I see it... Firstly - Peter was particularly steeped in Jewish tradition and had an 'old covenant mind' we know this because several times he made suggestions or took actions that were not in sympathetic with the Spirit of Christ. For example - at...
