Where in the above Scriptures you quoted does it teach anything about calling Jesus "Lord?"

I did not see any Scriptures quoted by you, except for "1 Corinthians 12:3." The Scriptures I quoted are plain to understand, and need no interpretation. There is no way you could interpret the Scriptures I quoted for you differently than what they state. They say what they say, and they are...

Believe as you wish. I just quoted the Scriptures explaining what this all means. You are free to ignore the Scriptures.

1 Corinthians 12:3 (NKJV) Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. What this means, in the context of all NT Scripture, is that no one can call Jesus their Lord whom they now...

Amen! I agree.

I agree. We are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation. Romans 1:16 (WEB) 16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

Where does "John 6:34-37" state "why" some individuals believed in his word? That is correct, Israel, as a whole, did not seek God by faith; but rather, by works of the Law. Continue reading to "Romans 11:9-11" and you will see that God hardened Israel because of their own transgression, and...

The answer is that many of the Jews were obstinate and proud refusing to believe (Romans 10:17-21); and so, God judiciously hardened many of them, but not all Jews; rather, just the ones who were obstinate. Lord Jesus did not say that only those who are born again can understand. If you...

The Scriptures, not me or you, decides what predestination means to God. Romans 8:28-29 (WEB) 28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of...

God has predestined to conform "those who love God" into the image of His Son (Romans 8:28-29). That is what "predestination" means in the New Testament. God conforms the believer to the image of His Son as the believer remains faithful to put off the old man, and to put on the new man...

John 6:35-40 (WEB) 35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. Lord Jesus, as the bread of life, invites everyone to come to and believe in the Son. 36 But I told you that you have seen me, and yet...

All the Epistles are written to and addressed to born again believers to encourage, teach, rebuke, admonish, and warn. If you still disagree, then read the first chapter, and the first few verses, of each Epistle to find out who the Epistles are written to. All the Epistles are written to and...

You can only make the Scripture say what you want it to mean by isolating "John 6:35-37" from "John 6:38-40." Lord Jesus did not stop his teaching at "John 6:37." For instance: Where in "John 6:35-37" does Lord Jesus identify who the Father gives to the Son? The answer is: No where in "John...

The New Testament Epistles are all written to the born-again true believers in Christ for their instruction, encouragement, admonition, and warning. IF you disagree, you must show why Paul is warning non-believers against falling away when all his letters are directed to the Churches of true...

That is your assumption. Can you show by Scripture that God is responsible for a person's faith? Acts 10:34-35 (WEB) 34 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism; 35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him...

That is correct. Romans 10:17-18 (WEB) 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. 18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did; “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” That...

The point Paul was making is plain; that the Gospel is foolishness to the Jew and Greek, but as for humble, whether Jew or Greek, they are receptive to the salvation held out to them in the Gospel and will believe. God has chosen that only the humble will understand and believe. And God's desire...

setst777 said: 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." You are not paying attention to the...

Keep reading the context and pay attention to the conjunction: "For." John 6:40 For [Lord Jesus now identifies who the Father gives to the Son] this is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the...
