You're simply wrong here. Prophecy of scripture is talking about the Bible.

Strong's #3404. miseo, mis-eh'-o; from a primary misos (hatred), to detest (espec. to persecute), by extens. to love less.---hate(-ful).

prophecy of scripture...he is talking about the holy scriptures.

And I am also not saying that we cannot learn more about what a verse means by finding its immediate and topical contexts.

Yes, and I hate my father in comparison to my love for God. Iow, because I love the Lord so much, my love for my father looks like hatred in comparison. And this is a factual reality.

John 6:37 and John 6:44, plus the Holy Spirit's interpretation. See also 2 Peter 1:20.

Here you need the Holy Spirit to help you a little, but it still stands on its own. The word hate here means to love less. Our love for our parents, etc. is to look like hatred in comparison to our love for the Lord, is what this is saying.

As I have said, the Father drawing a man to Jesus, and the Father giving a man to Jesus, are two different things. When the Father draws a man to Jesus, he is given the opportunity and the ability to make an unhindered decision for or against Christ. If he makes the decision for Christ, then...

It is spoken of in the scriptures, but you say that those scriptures are taken out of context. However, I am of the opinion that every scripture verse stands on its own as a bastion of spiritual truth.

This faith to believe is like a key that opens the door that gives access to the room we call grace. Receiving the key in itself is an act of grace from the One who gave it; but it is nothing compared to the grace one can receive if they actually use the key to obtain the grace that is in the...

I agree with you there; however I draw the line at saying that this work of the Holy Spirit is regeneration. It is not.

If He were not a gentleman, he would knock the door down instead of just knocking on it. He loves you enough to invade your heart and save you against your will; but He will not do this because He is a gentleman. He loves you and has given you a free choice in the matter. Where His Spirit is...

Again, they are not saved by an act of the will when they receive Christ. They are saved by the fact that the Holy Spirit takes residence in their heart. They are born of God as the result of receiving Christ. If Christ were not knocking on the door of their heart, their opening the door...

Concerning John 1:12-13, that the person is not born of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God, does not nullify the fact that He gives the right to become children of God to as many as receive Him. A man cannot will himself to be saved, is what this is...

You did not address the whole of the message that you were responding to, and also used flawed reasoning to try to refute the reasoning of the whole of the post that you were responding to.

Calvinism is a Cult is not an adequate answer.

Today if you will hear His voice, do not harden your heart as in the provocation.

In this we are in agreement.

Back to square one. The Father drawing someone to Jesus, and the Father giving someone to Jesus, are two different things. When the Father draws a man to Christ, he is enabled to make an unhindered decision either for or against Christ. If that person chooses Christ, then the Father gives...

2 Corinthians 6:1-2 is actual scripture.
