    Does God Love Sinners?

    Predestination/election is taught all through the Bible. It is "mine" only in the sense that I believe the Bible and in the sovereignty of God. You do not. No one "chooses" God unless they are elect. It matters not if they are murderers like Paul or just average unsaved church members. We are...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    Here is what He said: Did you notice that every time it talks about predestination and foreknowing, it speaks in plural terms and never individual, and it's done "in Christ"? It's talking about the body of Christ, not individuals. Also, it says we're predestined to be conformed to the image of...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    Nonsense. That would mean no one could be saved in the OT including the thief on the cross and all those who died between Christ's ministry and the book of Acts. Jesus spoke of the Kingdom of God/heaven over 100 times in the gospels and the church twice. He did not say those who are part of the...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    ALL the predestined elect were sinners before Jesus apprehended them. He only saves the elect that were chosen before time began for salvation. The Bible teaches nothing else. Romans 8:29-30 New King James Version (NKJV) 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    The scriptures referring to the love of God in nearly every case throughout the NT is the love He has for His elect predestined saints that were chosen before the foundation of the earth who were sinners but are manifestly saved. He only loves sinners in the sense of Matthew 5:45. Acts 14:17...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    The elect are drawn by God not forced. They freely choose Him because of His work in their lives they do not even realize. However if you look back on your life before salvation you will see many examples of God's work. I can. 1 John 5:3 New King James Version (NKJV) 3 For this is the love of...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    I do not know why you cited it but ONLY the elect chosen before time began will believe. The rest will only see the gospel as foolishness or a stumbling block and freely decide to go on in sin.

    Does God Love Sinners?

    Religious NONSENSE! Here is what God says about those in Christ: 1 Corinthians 2:9-16 New King James Version (NKJV) 9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”[a] 10 But God has...

    Drinking Blood

    The US is not a Christian nation in any sense of the word. There are only Kingdom Christians passing through this life as pilgrims being salt and light in the nation God put them in. The question is are you primarily an "American" or a citizen of King Jesus' Kingdom? It really is a significant...

    Drinking Blood

    ALL denominations are called carnal in the Bible. Most "protestants" at least are correct about the means of salvation and the foolishness of drinking blood and eating flesh. The fact that RCC history matches very closely what Romans 1:18-32 says indicates judgement. In fact a UK Cardinal just...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    Of course they were and choose to continue in sin UNLESS they were elect like Rahab, Namaan, the widow of Zarephath, and many unnamed who sought God in the OT by joining with Israel. Read Romans 1:18-32 which describes the rest. He does this because this will be the basis of His judgement of...

    Drinking Blood

    It seems you think the RCC sodomites, aiding the escape of mass murders, and the murder of innocent people for disagreeing with their perversion of the scripture is humorous. God sees and will repay. Here is the evidence it is happening already. The sordid history of the RCC bears witness...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    The Bible says that freewill is only a name for how and to what extent people will choose to disobey God. It also says that is their nature as fallen men and NONE will seek God. God does give them freewill and they will ALWAYS exercise it continuing in sin, Romans 3:9-18 is clear. If God did not...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    The point is NO ONE who is not elect will seek God. PLEASE read Romans 3:9-18. God only made His elect to seek, obey, and cooperate with God. The rest will only choose to go on sinning to a greater or lesser degree receiving greater or lesser punishment in hell. This is not possible for 2...

    Drinking Blood

    The RCC is NOT Christian. There are God's people in it and He will deliver them out of it. How else do you explain the cycle of confession, penance, the demonic ceremony and back into sin? Even sincere people are held in this bondage. First the RCC is not Christian. There is not one doctrine of...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    Everything God does is just including electing some and not others. The Bible clearly says God chooses us. We do not choose Him. John 15:16 New King James Version (NKJV) 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should...

    Drinking Blood

    John 6:63 New King James Version (NKJV) 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. John 6:68 New King James Version (NKJV) 68 But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    You think like a humanist believing every human has intrinsic value. God does not think that way. Age is no guarantee of salvation. Election is. Psalm 58:3 New King James Version (NKJV) 3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies. Here...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    Therefore you are saying that it is NOT GRACE because man can do something i.e. be humble to receive salvation. Nonsense! Only those predestined elect who know/realize they are SINNERS under the wrath of God will respond to the gospel and receive salvation. I will agree that after one is saved...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    Here is what Jesus said in His earthly ministry about His elect saints and those who were not elect: John 6:37 New King James Version (NKJV) 37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. John 6:44 New King James Version (NKJV)...
