NKJV bible. Salvation is by election, according to foreknowledge of God, not anything else. Your response is way to generalized to mean anything. God chose Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. Isaac's line to be in covenant with Him. All the other families all over the earth at that time worshipped...

Ok. Let's stick with scripture then and no suppositions. For example, Isaac again as an example of God's choice. This is an important chapter to understand as it explains God's electing of some and not others to salvation. Romans 9 Israel’s Rejection and God’s Purpose 6 But it is not that the...

Abraham was worried about Lot and his family, not about the others in the city It is why he counts down by numbers if God would spare it for xx number... Abraham also asked God to let Ishmail live before Him. But God denies the covenant of eternal life to Ishmael. 17 Then Abraham fell on his...

The carnal mind here will not submit itself to Christ, will not come to Christ as it does not have God's word abiding in it. Does not have the love of God in it. Such a one cannot believe. It is why you must first be born again. Only then will you come to Christ. It is the Spirit who makes us...

We must be born again to see the kingdom of God, must be born again to enter the kingdom of God Logically since the carnal mind is not subject to God, a person must be first born again to believe in Christ to the saving of the soul. Makes no sense a carnal mind can believe to the saving of their...

Striving for a Crown 1 Cor 9 24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may [i]obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize [j]is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an...

Paul tells us believers to put off the old man. It is still possible to act out the works of the flesh as a saved person, course there will be a judgement on this. There was a man sleeping with his mother, and they would not repent, and Paul told them to evict him from among them, deliver him to...

Yes, we still have that old man of the flesh to deal with as it sins. And that part remains dead and will never be redeemed as it part of the old creation. We get a new glorified spiritual body at the Resurrection. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of...

Yeah, most versions are saying the same thing, except for the MSG version, which I find bizarre.

As you can read, some Calvinist opponents have problems with the scriptures, as in they don't like what scripture says. then they question all scriptures.

Had to cut the list to post. MSG version, not a fan myself... MOUNCE For it is those who are led by the Spirit of God who are the sons of God. NOG Certainly, all who are guided by God’s Spirit are God’s children. NABRE For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. NASB For all...

All the different versions prove one thing to me. KJ21 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. ASV For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. AMP For all who are allowing themselves to be led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. AMPC For...

What are you smoking? Personally, I like NKJV myself. Not in your list, you must really hate that one...

You know what? We have the bible as authoritative and our spiritual guide to truth as we read it today. if we cannot use that there is no point to any discussion as it just becomes pure speculation that this or that thing is real or not.

It's like don't like what scripture says, make up another story!

You just subverted the message of why He spoke in parables. Subvert means to undermine the power and authority of Nullify is another word I would use for what you did. The Purpose of Parables 10 But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable. 11 And He...

HAHA! Another attack on the scriptures.... Don't like what they say. claim the translations are not inspired and can be ignored. Go and learn Greek? Which manuscripts are copies of copies of originals now lost. The earlier copies are however very accurate written compared with newer copies. The...

The Spirit of God who reveals mysteries, but only does this for His people born of His Spirit. Otherwise no one understands anything. 1 Corinthians 2 And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the [a]testimony of God. 2 For I...

Why then did Christ say it this way, This is not speaking of natural ears that hear, this is about hearing the Spirit of God. 37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are...

The scriptures explain everything we need to know about life, salvation. and godliness. Many do not believe the whole council of God in the scriptures; they only believe some scriptures, some believe none. Still God does everything for His glory. 33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the...
