Only the elect obtain salvation through faith while the rest are blinded Yes, the free gift is obtained by believing and it came to all men, but not everyone has believed. As is also said, Ephesians 2:8. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift...

People don't seem to logically think through the implications of what they say about scriptures, cause if they did, they might realize they are not in the same faith they thought they were in. What a shock!

You must of necessity, logically be conflicted, and are inconsistent. According to what you say, then gentiles have no part in the New Covenant as God makes it with Israel and Judah, and you won't admit believing gentiles are of Israel. That means you also have no faith in Christ to be in His...

Genesis 41 25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one; God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do: 26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good [b]heads are seven years; the dreams are one. 27 And the seven thin and ugly cows which came up after them are seven...

Jesus was goading Paul towards Himself, yet Paul was resisting, but ultimately God won that battle, just as He wins in all His purposes. That is why God is ultimately irresistible. And look what happened with Jonah and that fish Acts 9:4-6 New King James Version 4 Then he fell to the ground...

I know what you're saying. I look at the end result to decide if the grace was irresistible or not. I had a long discussion once over the learning from the Father verses. The guy was claiming some people were 'better learners' and they came to Christ, a sort of better sheep idea. Which I found a...

Titans were born of Uranus as were the Olympians, they were all somewhat related. Still does not deny the potential link does it. And Peter also describes the fallen ones as being chained in dungeons in Tartarus. You were not alive back then to say one way or the other how those myths got...

I knew you would not change your mind, and you cannot go around changing the words, going from whom to what is a major changing of scripture.

In my mind, I have related the mythical titans to the real Nephilim giants, which would have been all over the earth at the time of the flood. They were Satan's attempt to prevent the birth of Christ, who God told him would crush his head.

Zombies are cannibals in the movies, you know the walking dead. Their brains are also not working normally.

No one is disagreeing with that, but God also predestined as in chose who He would as in all believers, which you have denied. And to support that, you switched Romans 8:29 from 'Whom' to 'what' As in you related that to what they did as works in order to believe, they believed on their own...

Jesus tells us of the work of God in those who will believe in Him To have His word abiding in you would refer to having been born again of the Spirit of God Such a person is teachable by God. If you do not have that abiding inside of you, you will not be willing to come to Christ. John 5 31...

Irresistible grace, I view it here, for me anyway John 6:37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. We were given to Christ by the Father before time began to be saved, that is being foreknown and predestined. We are born again...

She thinks Jesus is just a man, not God, not divine. She thinks the Holy Spirit is not a he, as in a person, but an it, the power of God. Who do you say is Jesus Christ?

1stCenturyLady said: Hi RJ, I'm talking of the specific words that have to do with the Father giving/gives/gave to the Son/Jesus. They are key words that pertain only to the Apostles. As far as we who believe in Jesus we are predestined to be conformed to the image of his son. I like Romans 8...

Matthew 24 Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”...

Why do they do this? Because they want scripture to say what they want it to say, not what it says. What it says offends their sensibilities about their religion. That happens all the time with people, the Word offends them, Christ offends them, so they make up a false Christ that makes them...

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He...

The atonement is the forgiveness of sin and only believers in Christ have their sins forgiven them. Unbelievers, they all die in the sins, unforgiven them. Atonement is therefore limited. Atonement is mostly an old covenant word. The wicked and unbelieving have not been reconciled to God...

I agree but with reservations. As the sheep of Christ have enemies, they lie to the sheep saying God spoke this to me for you, eat and scatter the sheep. And I can only know if what someone is claiming is genuine if it agrees with Jesus and His apostles doctrines as taught in scripture. And...
