But when Jesus used the term, he was using it towards those disciples around him, not for some future group "chosen by grace". Aren't we all chosen by grace?

Ah, and you do?

Most scholars believe Revelation was written around 95 or 96

To be begotten of the Holy Spirit as sons (and daughters) of the Most High God. Huh? Whether it's delusion or not, there are those who oppose God. The Scriptures are clear as I pointed out. Satan is the god of this world. All living things exist by the power of God. But one can be alive and...

No, the mystery is the Truth of God's Plan of Salvation, that those in the world, those who are not believers, cannot see because they have not been begotten by the holy Spirit, because it is the Spirit that reveals Truth to his people.

Do people of the world have God's Holy Spirit? Pagans? Heathens? Muslims? Cults? Are they begotten of the Spirit? True Believers are in the world, but not of the world (John 17:16-26) This world lies in the power of the wicked one; (1 John 5:19) he is the god of this world. (2 Cor. 4:4)

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand the question. Can you please elaborate? Thanks. Lord bless

The Apostle Paul informs us that TO ALL THE NON-SPIRIT-BEGOTTEN WORLD, (those outside the true Church) the wisdom WE have is a "mystery." It's "hidden" from all who are not among the called and spirit-begotten. And God PRESDESTINED this enigma for "our glory" before ages even came into...

Actually, according to Strong's, it can also mean "exist". I think it's a stretch to assume Jesus was using that term as a title. Most translations capitalize I AM, but there's nothing in the John account in the original Greek that suggests it should be capitalized. The word for I AM is...

It's important to read it in context Verse 12 tells us; 12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. So are we to assume that he comes a third time?

Let's look at the full verse "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light." - 1 Pet. 2:9 There's no doubt that the Church of Christ is an...

Nope, because we're told "Don't put your trust in human leaders; no human being can save you." Psalm 146:3 So nothing they say or promise, or rather don't promise, surprises me. I don't vote, never have, never will. Jesus is my King, my leader.

And it couldn't have just been an earthquake? Chapter 28:2 mentioned an earthquake at his resurrection. The meaning should have been obvious to the religious leaders who witnessed it. Hebrews 9:11—10:22 goes into detail about how Jesus' death on the cross opened the way for anyone to approach...

So, you take this parable literally? Oh my!

Don’t trust leaders; don’t trust any human beings— there’s no saving help with them! - Psa 146:3 We should not place our trust in leaders, but rather in the Lord. This does not mean we should ignore or fail to recognize leaders. Throughout history, the Lord has interacted with His people, both...

So only the "OT saints" were saved? What about the millions outside of the OT saints? Where does it say Jesus preached to these ... as you call them "folks"?

Answer my question, I'll answer yours

The 12, didn't save anyone, Jesus does. Let me ask, can anyone before Christ be saved? If so, how are they saved if they never knew the name above all names? Since salvation can only be found in Jesus.

You make no sense.
