    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    I agreed that it was not your opinion (an internal conclusion) but rather that it was your observation (an external conclusion). My scripture selection of 1 Peter 1:17-19 did not agree with anything of your "observation" of the scriptures

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    It may not be your opinion, your doctrine, your denominational stance or your interpretation, but it is your vague human observation and speculation of what you think the scriptures state. So then, what did take place before the foundation of the world? 1 Peter 1 [17] And if ye call on the...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Sorry! I am understanding the deep things of God by His Holy Spirit. You are still in the shallows, depending only on the written words, of which is a pharisaical trait. 1 Cor. 2 [10] But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of...

    More denial of truth.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Not according to the word "whosoever". Rev. 22[17] And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And WHOSOEVER WILL [he who desires], let him take the water of life [Jesus] freely.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    How you discern it is the common error of all those who read, study and interpret the word of God literally. All of such have the same identical problem as did the Pharisees. Before the foundation of the world, the PLAN of God the Father and God the Son, was predestinated, that Jesus WAS TO...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    NOW you listen. Jesus Himself IS THE PLAN OF GOD!! Paul is NOT wrong about predestination, it's simply people are not hearing who it is that was predestined before the foundation of the world. It's NOT about anything of US being predestinated, it's about Jesus who was predestined FOR US!!!

    Mat. 12 what verses? 29, 43 to 45?

    Kingdom of God.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    I doubt it!! You are not fully understanding John 3:18 about judgment and condemnation. Jesus spoke to us in parables and symbolism. One good example of that is his message about the "strong man". It's written in three of the gospels, therefore one would think that he expects us to understand...

    Q1. What type of material are the pages of the Book of Life made out of? Q2. Does God write in a literal book with pen and ink in heaven? Q3. Did God make the ink(?) and the writing instrument also? Oh yes, there is that of God writing on the earthen tablets of stone for the 10Cs and then the...

    Please see my edit in post #185. Thanks.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Only AFTER one is born of mortal flesh and then comes to repentance, having faith in the blood of Christ, and is born again of the Holy Spirit, is one's name written in "the book of life", who by the way is Jesus HIMSELF (which is to say that there is NO literal book in heaven called "the book...

    At the moment, the Holy Spirit can't help you, until you let go of the man made religious doctrine that unrepentant individuals were predestinated to belong to God, long before the world was created.

    My post #177 explains it better.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    No one, and I mean NOT ONE mortal person can be in Christ before the foundation of the world WITHOUT personal repentance towards God. Please stop insulting God's intelligence as well as ours.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Again...the plan of God to SAVE people from eternal death is what was predestinated before the world was, NOT PEOPLE. That plan was fulfilled by the Lord Jesus Christ, which was kept secret since the beginning of the world. Rom. 16 [25] Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    In every generation, all descendants from the seed of Adam, as they were and are physically born of flesh, remain "condemned already", UNTIL they come to God in REPENTANCE for forgiveness and removal of sins by faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Gen. 2[17] But of the tree of the knowledge...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Q. How did the disciples become chosen of God, that they should be given by God to Jesus, during His mortal ministry on earth? A. They came to God FIRST through John the Baptist's call of repentance unto them, and for no other reason.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    One step at a time. Let's look at the unsaved first, and why they are! Prior to YOU coming to Jesus, you were unsaved!! DIDN'T YOU KNOW that you were predestined to "condemnation [death] ALREADY" ?? Do you know why we must repent towards God first, before we are saved through the sacrificial...
