John 1:9, which reads, “The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.” The narrative of Scripture bears witness to a God who calls and pursues persons. He called Adam in the garden while he was hiding from the shame of sin (Gen. 3:9), Abraham out of his father’s...

No that's illogical. They are chosen, according to you, before they are created. At least own what your theology teaches. So they are born destined for salvation, therefore never lost. Jesus didn't have to die for them, really. If your fate is pre programmed, A sacrifice is unnecessary.

Idaho, trapping wolves. Maybe fishing out West in some of those super clear rivers and lakes. Trapping bobcats in the desert is another one. What can I say? I was born a predator.

In your theology, I could only mock God if he caused me to. So your own theology defeats your claim. The potter said if a nation changes it's way and obeys the potter will change his mind about punishment of that nation.

Like I said, no context. No commen sense. That verse is a problem for calvinists, though. Because if the world is in any way controlled by Satan, their whole system is wrong. They believe in a form of sovereignty where God controls everything at all times, not Satan. The whole world is everyone...

Behold is correct. God will hold you accountable for attributing evil to him. You need to repent of that false belief. That's what pagan religions believe. Ying and yang. Dark and light. No! God is light and in him is no darkness!

What questions? My answers is that faith is the requirement of God. Without faith we can't please him. This is what Jesus was explaining. That their works weren't worth anything without faith in Jesus.

They can not do any such thing in your theology. They can't obey. Only God can obey himself in your theology. They are just puppets. You don't tell puppets to beat fruit.

Use your brain and use context. I already explained. It means all are under sin, so we have to come out from that world. You are creating a problem by looking at it with no common sense.

You are the one who turned Jesus' words into nonsense. They were looking for a work to perform, and Jesus told them that if they are seeking to do a work, then do the works of faith by believing in Him. So this was something that Jesus was encouraging them to do, and was speaking in the...

Let me ask a question before I continue. If God is just picking some people for salvation, why is this important to tell people? Why would it even matter? I'm genuinely curious why calvinists are so passionate about sharing what would be terrible news if true? Yeah ,John 10 also defines who the...

I don't think marrying a sister would be a genetic problem for people who were obviously vastly superior to us genetically. They lived to be hundreds of years old too, so there were probably lots of sisters!

Again more nonsense. The extent of the atonement is to everyone who ever lived, yes. But it is only applied to those who believe. To offer a gift to all doesn't require that all receive it. It's not complicated.

The verse doesn't say we can not leave God, only that no exterior force can snatch us from him. Giving the gift of life isn't forcing one to remain. I would be a jailer instead of a husband if I used force to keep my wife with me. God is a lover not a rapist.

The whole world does lie in the evil one. He's the prince of this world. We have to do something to come out of the world. And not for ours only - It is not for us apostles that he has died, nor exclusively for the Jewish people, but περι ὁλου του κοσμου, for the whole world, Gentiles as well...

I'm going by what scripture says. You are perverting scripture.

Total hogwash! God believes on himself to save us? How do people come up with such nonsense? Acts 16:30-31 “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other...

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” 29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” He's telling them what they must do to be saved. He's not saying God does it all. That's backwards.

No According to John 10 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.
