    Elect according to the foreknowledge of God

    A short study I had written and previously posted on the subject of predestination based on God's foreknowledge. Predestination (based upon the foreknowledge of God) Premise: God knows the beginning and the end, so therefore he must also know all that will occur within the entire expanse of...

    When Did the Gospels First Become “Scripture?”

    When the inspired word of God is written it becomes scripture. Greek words graphe, graphes, graphas, etc. (derivatives) = writing or writings

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Yes. When that which is perfect is NOT talking about Christ since he is not a "that", nor is it talking about the great day of the Lord. It's speaking not in universal church terms either. I've written and posted about this previously. It's talking about the perfection of the body of Christ...

    If all that one knows, believes, & follows is the "Great Commandment", will they go to Heaven?

    All have sinned, so, what is the remedy to remove sin according to the bible? It's not by following the "Great Commandment" you cited.

    How to Test the Spirits?

    The spiritual gifts, all of them, those listed in 1 cor 12:8-10, were enabled by the laying on of the apostle's hands, and they are dead. Study the scriptures regarding this i would suggest.

    How to Test the Spirits?

    How to "test a spirit or prophet"? Simple: there are no prophets today. The gifts of the Spirit (miraculous manifestations) have ceased long ago including prophesying. And now we have scripture to check and double check false teaching/teachers or the spirit which drives them.

    IS IT A SIN TO VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT?

    Stick to the question which relates to the democratic party and voting for it, and if so doing, is it a sin in and of itself. So, what's a matter of the heart? I'm simply pointing out how the democratic party is inconsistent with God in general, in principle.

    Do you desire Salvation? Do these 3 things. 3 steps to salvation according to Saint Padre Pio.

    Forget pio and turn to God's word to understand salvation and what the bible says of those that desired it. Once they believed, what did they do as was told to them according to the scriptural records? They were told to confess their belief as did the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, consistent with...

    IS IT A SIN TO VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT?

    A sin, no; just stupid. God is not progressive nor liberal. He is the same today as yesterday and as will be tomorrow, as is his word.

    Did God Foresee Adam’s Disobedience?

    God's foreknowledge addresses this question

    How to be saved (born again) and join the family of God!!!

    That's part of the requirements as was done by the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8. But after he believed and confessed his belief, he asked what would hinder him from being baptized, so it's obvious that part of Philip's preaching of the gospel to him also included the need to be baptized, which he...

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    I didnt say God is, but but has a soul. And because God also has a soul too, it doesn't mean he had a beginning within the loins of anything prior to him since he has no beginning or end. It simply means he too is a conscious being as are we and as are animals as you mentioned which I am aware...

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    It sounds like you're confusing spirit and soul however, since you said "our spirit needs a house" but then go on to again refer to the soul. As the original poster pointed out, as did my repost, they are not one in the same; two distinct things

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    100% agree. I wrote and posted on this here and elsewhere previously. Here it is once again in support of your post. First of all, what is the soul? Some equate it with the spirit, but that's not correct. Some think that God gives you a soul which is also not correct. See below repost of mine...

    You mentioned "born again"; how does that happen?? How is one "born again:?

    Nothing wrong with God's word now or ever, it's your total lack of understanding

    Hidden treasures in the biblical text by Chuck Missler Have you read it?

    That is absolutely 100% incorrect and not supported by scripture at all. Go read the book of Acts also referred to as the book of conversions. No one was saved as you indicated. After you believe you're still in sin and as long as you're in sin, you're still lost. Go study.

    Hidden treasures in the biblical text by Chuck Missler Have you read it?

    Boot camp has nothing to do with scripture nor can be used as analogy. And reading scripture is additive. You can't take a single scripture and build a doctrine around it while ignoring others, as you're trying to do.

    Hidden treasures in the biblical text by Chuck Missler Have you read it?

    I have no problem with. God's grace through faith but faith alone is the problem. It also requires repentance and baptism which can't be ignored
