What Paul is plainly teaching in "1 Corinthians 1:21-25" is that the Gospel is the power of God onto salvation to all who believe (1 Corinthians 1:21), to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile, just as Paul also wrote in "Romans 1:16-17." Romans 1:16 (WEB) 16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel...

Yes, to understand we use exegesis. Changing the meaning, or adding your own assumptions, is not exegesis. As for John 6, I already gave an exact explanation of the Greek used for the word "For" in "John 6:40," and I also showed to you the context, beginning at "John 6:37" in post: TULIP an...

CadyandZoe said: Let's not overlook the essence of Jesus's argument here. According to Jesus, God is accountable for whether someone has faith in Jesus or not. People believe in Jesus because God has granted them to Jesus. Those who do not have faith in Jesus do so because God has not given them...

setst777 said: In John 6:40, Lord Jesus does identify "who" the "all" are whom the Father gives to the Son, which Lord Jesus identifies as "whoever believes." The word "For" [Greek: gar] in "John 6:40" explains the reason for what was stated previously in "John 6:39;" in that, "everyone who...

I have no problem at all with God hardening a person's heart in judgment because they continually refused His grace. That is righteous of God to do so. setst777 said: Your own statements show that God can do nothing but create people for a particular destination considering what you believe...

God always hardens a person's heart in judgment because they refused His grace so they can continue in their wickedness, just as Israel had done (Romans 11:7-12). But the humble, crushed, the heavy laden, will hear and believe because their hearts are prepared for the message of salvation. The...

I agree with all that you wrote, except for the parts I quoted from you above. John 6:37 states: All those the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in never cast out. “Verse 37” tells us that there exists only one reason why anyone comes to the son, and that is because...

You disagree with the verse. Read the context, pay attention to grammar. You will never understand by quoting isolated verses. The Scriptures do not teach that God chooses some to believe and give to the Son; rather, the will of God is to give to the Son those who believe in the Son. John 6...
