Those are your words, not scripture. There is no evidence Paul was writing to the Gentiles of Thessalonica. However, there is plenty of evidence Paul's letter was addressed to his fellow Jews. For example, this is the first mention of Paul in Thessalonica, when he addressed a synagogue of Jews...

That is a hypothetical. The scripture states that God's chosen people are the faithful remnant of Israel. They are the ones who were given the covenants (old and new), they are the ones through whom all kindreds of the earth are blessed, and they are the ones who endured the wrath of God for...

There is no evidence of that. Rather, all evidence points to the contrary argument, that the remnant of Israel are God's chosen people, while the Gentiles were finally allowed into the kingdom without conversion to the laws of Moses, as previously required by the old covenant. An analogy of...

That is called "poisoning the well", an old debaters trick. The devil used that trick against Jesus. It will not work against me. Which "Saul" are you referring to? King Saul, or the Apostle Paul? That is true. I do not preach my "feelings", nor do I pretend to have a direct pipeline to...

So, Paul preached the gospel. He also wrote about a dozen books on the gospel, including the one you quoted. What is your point? Perhaps you have taken Paul's words out of context. What did he say right after those two verses you quoted? "For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the...

Your premise is based on a logical fallacy. Those who rely on their own understanding are those who believe they are above the Word of God. My ministry is based on the Word of God, and on this instruction: "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all...

That is not your call, Scott. You have been misled into a false understanding of the spirit, Scott, and no amount of self-righteous indignation will change that. You must be born again by the Word of God to be saved: "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the...

First, let's define "stubborn man". A "stubborn man" is any man who challenges your ridiculous, dogmatic assertions. Next, let us see what the word of God says about the adoption: "For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who...

You are flattering yourself by thinking he chose you, rather than the faithful remnant of Israel who were his chosen people, which the Bible states about a gazillion times so we won't miss it! If you took the time to actually study the Bible, rather than cherry-pick it, you might have noticed...

My words are crystal clear. Read them again. "The Word of God was preserved for us so we would not be forced to rely on our own understanding. But if those 31,000+ verses of words are not enough for you, you can always make stuff up and pretend it came from the "holy spirit"." You took...

There is no evidence of that. To the contrary, there are those saved by free will (the Gentiles and broken branches of Israel who no longer abide in unbelief -- Rom 11:20-23), and there are the chosen ones (the faithful remnant of Israel, which is the election according to grace -- Rom 11:1-5)...

You have convinced yourself into believing your words are spirit, Scott, and I know you want to believe it. But your words are not spirit. Nor are mine. Have you not read the scriptures? The oracles of God was committed to the faithful children of Israel. They alone received the Word from...

Are you asserting those three doctrines claim their doctrine to be equal to, or inferior to the doctrines of other denominations? Let's take a look: 1) PCA - Presbyterian Church in America II Preliminary Principles, 3. Our blessed Saviour, for the edification of the visible Church, which is...

No, I am not kidding. Who was "us"? Who are "those"? You answered my previous question, who are "those"? "Those" were the ones God foreknew. So, now my question is, "who did God foreknow? How does that verse add to the context Paul's statement in 28-30?? Who was Paul referring to...

Who is "they" that "have given us the answer", Scott, and who were they speaking of? You have "told" me many things, Scott, but you have not answered my question. We are not communicating, Scott, and I am unconvinced we can. This is how I interpret the term "before the foundation of the...

There is no evidence any Gentile was "chosen before the foundation of the world was laid", nor is there any evidence any Gentile was or is of the "elect", nor is there any evidence any Gentile was or is a 'saint". Rev

What about them? Rev

I am reminded of this old proverb: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." -- Pro 3:5 KJV The Word of God was preserved for us so we would not be forced to rely on our own understanding. But if those 31,000+ verses of words are not enough for you...

You were discussing that, Scott. I, on the other hand, have been trying to find out from my first post to you why you believe you were "in Christ from before the foundation of the world". I asked that question because I know of no verse or passage that supports your claim. If there is, I...

The existence of creeds and denominations hardly "nullifies" my argument, but rather reinforces it. When people cherry pick the scriptures to develop or support their creed or denomination, which includes unprovable claims to be "speaking from the holy spirit", they should be challenged. That...
