God is fair to all, he sets up the circumstances to allow for all men to seek Himself. Everyone who believes in Christ without exception, God's promise to them is eternal life. Except, God also has said, no one seeks for God. The truth is this shows they are not lovers of God, they love the...

Matthew 8:22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.” Like the above verse shows, scripture does not have to always say spiritually dead to be understood in that way. The dead here were physically alive and spiritually dead. Only those who follow Christ are...

Because the [c]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-terms/what-is-enmity-biblical-meaning-and-importance.html Enmity against God is what people have when they are not born again Enmity...

Talking again of John 1:10-13. The reason why they received Him, they were born of God first. Of course, they then have the right to be the children of God, as they have fulfilled all righteousness that God intended for them. Their receiving of Him is a witness to the universe around them, that...

God can make someone of any age born again. Since God does that for adults according to His will, God can do the same for an infant or young child. He can reveal Himself to them and they can believe. I am of the opinion God does do that. Before the children have done anything good or bad and...

God gives to all men the correct circumstances for them to seek Him, but they don't do it. What happens to them because of that is described in Romans 1 Acts 17 and seeking. This is not something decreed by God to occur, that all men seek HIM, it is a condemnation on unbelieving mankind who...

All God's works were completed from the foundation of the world, including who would believe and not believe, the times and seasons of men and the nations and their boundaries. What is to come in the future, God ordained in the past. It has already been declared before our own time what will...

Before Time Began a particular person was chosen to belong to Christ by God. This is true when someone comes to Christ as a believer, that God had chosen them in eternity past and we believe in our own time and are saved. The work of salvation was completed from the beginning, not in our time...

As also here 1 PETER 1:2 KJ21 elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you and peace be multiplied. ASV according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification...

So many other verses point to the will and purpose of God that our salvation has been predestined for some and not others, that our faith is granted to us, and I am not the one twisting the meaning of John 1 to explain a mistaken theology.

That is how you have chosen to read it. it plainly says it differently than how you have read it. v13 qualifies the understanding of the preceding verses, as ' who were born ' is past tense, meaning it already happened prior as in came before verses 10-12. 10 He was in the world, and the...

There is no conflict at all about when a person is born again. You are born again, then you are a believer, will be a believer as you will have God granted faith in Christ. You cannot prove a person is born again after they believe. What is provable is unless someone is born again, they cannot...

John 14 15 “If you love me, you will keep[g] my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate,[h] to be with you forever. 17 This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him because he abides...

John 5:24 Life and Judgment Are Through the Son “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

"The human soul is not his spirit. It is the spirit that goes back forever to God." Generally, the spirit returns to God who made it, but if unbelieving, then not for eternal life, it goes back for judgement for the things done in the body. If not found worthy of eternal life, it is then...

Your thinking is Jesus also needed saving then?

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 26 Consider your own call, brothers and sisters: not many of you were wise by human standards,[e] not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the...

KJ21 But because of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness, and sanctification and redemption, ASV But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: AMP But it is from Him that...

Christ the Power and Wisdom of God 18 For the [g]message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” 20 Where...

Except that is scripturally backwards and puts man in control of becoming saved. Salvation begins and ends with God in control. Jesus is author and finisher of your faith. Romans 10 tells us and the scripture is in agreement that no one seeks for God. 20 But Isaiah is very bold and says: “I...
