    29 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, 30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me. Now why would God do such a thing on behalf of His Son? Romans 8 tells us a reason why, that Christ would...

    Reading but Never Seeing: Why Scripture Remains Hidden to the Lost

    See that dividing the word shows the election of God for those whom He chose. 2 Thessalonians 2 contrasts the unbelieving, with their minds blinded by Satan who REFUSE to love the truth, to those God has chosen in Him for salvation from the beginning (agrees with Ephesians 1), whom he says are...

    Reading but Never Seeing: Why Scripture Remains Hidden to the Lost

    Yes He the Spirit seals believers, But I think your do not believe that God granted to you your very faith in Christ, or you would not have taken the approach to the word you have done. Philippians 1 also clearly states about your belief in v29 that you are granted to believe in Him, which is...

    Flock is to sheep as sheep belong to a flock, and sheep have a shepherd Paul uses the word 'flock' to describe the 'sheep' of Christ in Ephesus, a gentile church. All the sheep verses in John refer to those who are or will be Christ's church. Acts 20 17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    ! agree with that. Revelation 1:7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. Since even those who pierced. killed Christ will see Him, I wonder if they are raised up to...

    God's Hatred

    The other reason the world might hate us is we tell them they need to repent, their works are evil, believe in Christ or they will be going to hellfire. Another reason is we are not like them, the others, as we are not of the world. John 7:7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I...

    Help with John 12:32

    unbeliever's sins are not taken away, they die in their sins. John 8 21 Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.” 22 So the Jews said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, ‘Where I go you cannot come’?” 23...

    Ephesians should quash any notion that there are non elect people being saved as it clearly talks of those God chose before time began are the ones who God saves I have heard all sorts of lies about what this book means, it means what it says, not everyone was chosen in Him before the...

    Reading but Never Seeing: Why Scripture Remains Hidden to the Lost

    It does not go beyond scripture to say God foreknew His elect and only they are saved. I don't read about any others getting glorified. Only the elect will have faith. The non elect don't believe and are without hope and without God in the world as they are of the world. 28 And we know that...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    yes, here it is in Luke 17 22 Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, [h]‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them. 24 For as the lightning...

    WHEN IS THE DAY OF THE LORD?

    It is when Christ returns as a thief. Christ returns at a time when people do not expect. Lots of events will happen on that Day. Resurrection, Judgment, sudden destruction, and a new earth and new heaven will all happen on that DAY. I view it as a day. It won't take any long time to do any of...

    The Doctrines of Grace

    A difference though, as tears of sorrow from Christ is not saving them. Christ laments their fate because of their continual rejection. The mercy of God for salvation is not a possibility or probability it is an actuality. It means those with that mercy come from God do not have their sins...

    The Doctrines of Grace

    I don't have a problem with people seeking God, thing is scripture says no one seeks for God, they all have turned away and become unprofitable. Because of that, God seeks the lost sheep which He foreknows as His people and then they find God who did not seek or ask for Him. They are the ones...
