I gave the scripture reference, was it too hard to look it up? The underlined scriptures are a link to the Bible on this forum, then use the BACK arrow to return. They were Gods elect, chosen bride.

All you did was repeat exactly what I said, only jumbled up. Faith can’t be a response to grace, because faith has to come first, since faith is how we access grace. Therefore faith precedes salvation (grace), Instead of salvation (grace) preceding faith. Grace is the response to faith, and...

Jesus lost one of those given Him by the father, JUDAS. Jesus also said, If I be lifted uo (on the cross) I WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME. Israel was Gods own ELECT, and Jesus came originally ONLY for them, who were His OWN chosen people, thus the Holy Spirit was working in them to give them...

And faith comes from hearing the word of God - Romans 10:17 - not from first being regenerated as one of the few elect, (and thus saved and given grace) before belief - but simply from hearing the word of God. Then we have to make our calling and ELECTION sure, by choosing to ADD to our faith...

I’m happy to pray for your cholesterol and medication problems to be resolved by the power of the Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name! God bless

But it’s the unbelieving Jews who are still wanting to keep the old covenant, which requires rebuilding the temple for animal sacrifice. who build a literal third temple, which the false messiah they accept as genuine, goes into and declares himself God. Jesus warned that when that happens...

I’ve heard preachers say if you only seek closeness with God in bad times, God let’s you have a lot of them - obviously to keep them seeking Him. Maranatha

If water baptism saved anyone, that might make a difference. Romans 10:13.

My point was too clear to obfuscate- faith precedes grace, thus faith/belief precedes salvation, and does not follow salvation/regeneration - and this fact is fatal to Calvinism, which is forced to claim salvation/grace comes before faith.

Of course I can’t, BECAUSE THERES NO SUCH THING, as I can prove from scripture: Reformed dogma claims God unconditionally elects to salvation, that grace is irresistible, and therefore the Holy Spirit is irresistible. This is easily seen to be false. Jesus came only for Israel. Matthew...

I’ve learned the most by simply repeatedly reading the Bible linearly, particularly the new covenant section from Matthew to Revelation - and the Holy Spirit many times illuminates a scripture that pertains to various doctrines, that I would never have discovered by reading someone’s proof...

Jesus: if I be lifted up I WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME. Newsflash: the Holy Spirit is resistible - thus there’s no irresistible grace. Stephen preached to the elect Israelites (Isaiah 45:4) who Jesus came for (John 1:11) who He yearned would come to Him, but they WOULD NOT (Matthew 23:37) and...

The truth about Peter and the RCC: Some people spout a constant litany of revisionist history perpetrated by the RCC. The revised history of the RCC, is that Jesus gave Peter the preeminence over all the apostles, that Jesus made Peter the head of the church and built the church on him, that...

About the That’s a surprise to Jesus, that no one’s in hell. Luk 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; Luk 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar...

Yes. aka WTBTS

The Koran is the Old Testament plagiarized and edited to make Ishmael Abraham’s covenant son, instead of Isaac, to replace the Messiah with the Mahdi, with the added ideology of world conquest by the sword, or any other method possible, such as immigration. It’s actually an antichrist...

. You’re just tossing out random scriptures, that don’t apply to the topic. What is the purpose in it?

But in context the ‘all these things’ are food, shelter, and clothing, and not all things that pertain to the faith or scriptural understanding of the Bible from studying. Maranatha

Except the WTS idea of bible knowledge is reading their books telling you what to believe, alongside the Bible, instead of just reading the Bible alone. I believe they say that if you read the Bible alone, you’ll go into darkness. Shalom

The definition of studying that so many believers seem to have, is studying someone’s proof texts on any topic. Maranatha
