    Saved Or Predestined ???

    Firstly, salvation is limited as per Matthew 1:21!!! Secondly, it is your understanding/interpretation of scriptures that are faulty. Thirdly, although I had NOT stated this any where in this thread, I believe that God do create evil. We read in Isaiah 45:7: "I form the light, and create...

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    You can call me anything you like, in fact, I was expecting it. Jesus warned me about people like you that there shall come in the last days scoffers walking after their own lusts. I'm not really surprised. To God Be The Glory

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    Now who is making a commentary? John 3:16 is the most quoted verse in the world yet is also the most misunderstood! So i'll expound only on this verse as the rest of this post is academic. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should...

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    I'm aware of that. What then is your purpose for being here in these forums, isn't it because of Matthew 28:19-20? To God Be The Glory

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    Matthew 7:13-14 is a principle. The "few" are those whom the Father predestined to salvation before the foundation of the world. A classic example/answer to the title of this thread. To God Be The Glory

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    Sure. His people are they whom the Father gave to Jesus (John 6:37). I thought you said you read the whole book? You must qualify the word "all". I've already alluded that they are the elect whom the Father "drew" and given to Jesus in John 6:44, and John 6:37. BTW, John 6:44 is the only way...

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    Imagine, if grace is universal, there will no one be put to hell for Christ will have been obligated to redeemed all the sins of each person n the world. And, this can't be according to Matthew 1:21. But hell will heavily be populated! To God Be The Glory

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    I suppose the two of you have not read Matthew 1:21!!! Where it reads: "you shall call his name Jesus for he will save his people from their" sins." Are both of you His people? If you accept His offer who will be the king maker, you or Jesus? Read Ezekiel 36:24,ff to find out. To God Be The Glory

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    kcnalp said: ↑ No, we should seek God with all our heart! Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. The above scripture must be read in light of Jeremiah 17:9 "the heart of man is desperately wicked, who can know it?" By this assessment, only the...

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    Thank you and greetings to you as well. You told @Renniks, "Nope. I was just stating that what I said was based on scriptural truth." My point was, how can you convince anyone that what you stated was based on scriptural truth, without scriptural references? I'm sorry if I did not make myself...

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    Most people have no understanding of the true Gospel and therefore, what is claimed should always be backed up by Scripture. For instance, you said: "Jesus was sent to save His people from their sins" Correct! Scripture reference: Matthew 1:21: "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt...

    Heresy within Christianity

    And, so when God says "offspring" He actually means "diversity?" My God is a God of order and NOT a God of confusion!!! "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled. (Matthew 5:18). And "And it is...

    Heresy within Christianity

    I totally agree but you seem to lean towards the works from the writers of concordances which are not inspired. As you've said in another thread and I quote "Here's the 64 billion dollar question!" My question, "Did you get your knowledge from those writers or from the Holy Spirit?"

    Heresy within Christianity

    It most certainly is your opinion! I have no qualms about the passages you quote and define. It is your definitions and interpretations of those verses that I contend. The words "diversify" or "share" does not appear in Holy Writ yes same as the word "Trinity" nonetheless; Scripture is replete...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    I've read post #287 and really nothing new that you can add as to what already has been said. When we start with a wrong premise our conclusions will always make our doctrines false. In Hebrew, the letters "im" after a pronoun makes it a plural word. The word God in Ge. 1:1 is the Hebrew word...
