Thanks for your input "Amigo" , but I was asking "CadyandZoe" because she was contesting my recent post.

Were you physically born into this world already believing in Jesus as your Savior, from day one?? No, you weren't. No one is! So, what was it that caused you to believe in Jesus? What did you hear or see, that led you to Him?

Then you miscontruing the meaning of what Paul spoke in Romans 9:11...that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth.

Jacob heard the "call" of God, and proved to God that he would do anything to obtain the birthright that was destined to Esau, who for the sake of some food, despised it. We also have the opportunity for a "birthright", to be "born again" in/by the Holy Spirit . We either answer is calling, or...

I am not contesting "marks" comments or the scripture. I was only caring about the heart of the matter of what God's will is, and then comparing it with additional NT scripture. There are MANY who have invited themselves to the KoG, but only those who are called by God Himself, and have...

Being called and elected by God requires us to do one of two things: answer His call or neglect and despise it. You may be at an impasse, but I am not. God does not over rule or over run our free will of being, just because He "chooses". He can only choose those who are willing to walk in Him...

^ Now, how does 1 Peter 2:2-21, (Verse 10) tie in with Esau and Jacob?Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: Ans. When one walks and lives in the Holy Spirit and not their flesh, the character/fruit...

Did God hate Esau for no reason, but then love Jacob for no reason also? The truth is there was a reason for God's determination about the two. Esau (being the firstborn) "despised" his inherited birthright, and therefore Esau became unelectable, and was rejected by God. Jacob (being the...

Marks, please do not be offended. I am not speaking to you only here. There is an audience that is reading our words and the biblical concepts that make up our faith. I for one dwelled in biblical error for a long time, until I became so confused, that I literally almost tossed my faith, but...

Let's think more in line of God's foreknowledge about who and how Esau and Jacob would be, according to their own free will. Right out of the gate, before there was any separation between Esau and Jacob, God knew beforehand, that Esau would trade off his birthright for food, thereby revealing...

The Spirit of God simply says this: "without the shedding of blood, there is no remission (removal of sin)". Hebrews 9:22 The perfect and sinless blood of "the Lamb of God" shed His blood. For the forgiveness of sin, the demand of God the Father, was completely fulfilled by God the Son. On...

Becareful that you are not jumping to conclusions, by assuming that I think that man has been "given" an immortal soul. He has not! Man "became a living soul"-KJV. God breathed oxygenated air (the breath of life*) into him, and his lungs then expelled CO2, and deflated, thus feeding all his...

Very good direct question! First and foremost, the OT prophets were used by God to speak through them to Israel. Therefore, because Jesus had not appeared yet, God spent all of His effort on trying to get Israel to understand the reality of His Son's first coming. Iows, God's emphasis through...

^ my most recent post is to "Backlit" .

I supose I wasn't clear at the end of my reply, which begged you to question what I said. I previously wrote: The truth to be learned about Jonas was that he was ALIVE for 3 days in the would be grave of the fish, but the fish could not hold him. The "spiritual thing" about Jesus is that the...

God's word says that the story of Jonah did happen. If it didn't happen, and Jesus used it to point to Himself, then His story about Himself in conjunction with it, is a lie. But, since all of the above really IS TRUTH, then what I have said previously about Jonah and Jesus, is the truthful...

In case you forgot, or don't know, Jesus wasn't human prior to conception through the virgin Mary. Heb. 10[5] Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

You are not telling the whole story of why God hated Esau. Esau disregarded, ignored and neglected his "birthright". The same now applies to everone who does the same towards God, who allowed His Son to be sacrificed for us, so that we may also have a "birthright", and that is for us the believe...

The truth to be learned about Jonas was that he was ALIVE for 3 days in the would be grave of the fish, but the fish could not hold him. The "spiritual thing" about Jesus is that the grave/death could not hold Him, who is eternally ALIVE. Though His mortal flesh died (tasted death), He who is...

Why? Mainly because God is a Spirit, and we who are born again, are also Spirit, and therefore should be comparing spiritual things with His spiritual mind (we have the mind of Christ), and not through our natural fleshly mind for understanding.
