The election has nothing to do with salvation. The Few are chosen, not unto salvation, but as (the few) laborers to bring in the Great Harvest of the Many. Romans 9, is there to take all pride away from man.

"If a man cannot have faith apart from Gods will, then what worth is it to God?" - Mike We cannot exist apart from Gods will, so what is our worth? We cannot choose to be born, life is a gift from God. Its not a choice. I can't believe how many Christian think they are the masters of their...

I like that Aspen.

Sell our coat, buy a gun, but don't draw? Did he change his mind and want us to start 'living by the sword"? No! After he said this (Lk 22:36), Peter actually took it literally and bought one. Later in verse 49 he asks, "should we smite with the sword Lord?" Then draws it and cuts off a mans...

Hahahaha...nice one Sola! All I can come up with is "two or three witnesses make a matter true." And "where two or three are gathered in my name..."???? I don't See a lot of proof from the NT, that comes right out and declares Jesus God? However, I do see a lot from the OT, where God is always...

Trying to... But I know if don't Jesus will finish the job of correction. My repentance is the working of His Spirit, not of my own labor. God has started a good work in me, and He is faithful to complete that work (whether here in this life or later in the next).

Can we (true followers of Jesus) wear a cross and carry a gun? Yes, I know Peter and other disciples carried swords, but when drawn they were rebuked. "He who lives by the gun, will die by the gun." Is this not what Jesus would say today? I used to be a gun-carrying patriot, but the closer I get...

A threefold cord cannot soon be broken - Ecc 4:12

He was being sarcastic... Have you repented of all your sins?

Yes, I agree, but the point of my post was His punishment is a "visitation" a time of limited duration. As the Psalmist says, "His mercy endureth forever, His anger but for a moment".

The most accurate bible (without question) is the Rotherham's Emphasized. Any student of scripture must have one in his library.

One does not have to do anything to go heaven. However, to be glorified as a son or daughter of God and reign with Christ with power and authority, one must "endure to the end." One must be "beheaded" for the sake of Christ, that is, not literally, but remove his own head and put on Christ as...

Thanx Logabe, Yes He surely does have a glorious plan! I believe someday, at the end of the "days" God will be able to look at everything He has created, when all of mankind has been formed into the image and likeness of God, and He will be able say, "Behold! This is very good." - Genesis 1:31 I...

I can think of two times God said He was going to do something, but then didn't do it. I'm not sure we can call it lying? He tells Noah "I am going to destroy the earth and everything in it." He didn't say, "unless you can talk Me out of it", no, He said He would but then didn't. Also with...

Angelina, you post scripture without any commentary? What are you trying to say?

"God does his PART, and we do our PART." Arnie, dude! If God can't do something, but must depend upon us to do it, how can we call Him "Almighty"?

I'm sorry Arnie, but to make us equal partners with the Almighty is the most confusing thing there is. How can He be Almighty if our will is the greatest power in the universe?

Exodus 34:6-7, (Rotherham Translation), Yahweh, Yahweh, A God of compassion and favour, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and faithfulness: Keeping lovingkindness to a thousand generations, Forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, though He leave not utterly unpunished, Visiting...

I interpret all scripture in context of His character (Ex 34:6).

But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name-- 13Who owe their birth neither to bloods nor to the will of the flesh [that of physical...
