    Doctrine of Predestination

    I have the office of Teacher with the gift of prophecy. I can teach men. In fact, I teach pastors. Just because you are a man doesn't mean that what you teach is from God. In fact, it's NOT.

    Doctrine of Predestination

    David, verses 5-7 are in the middle of Paul's certifying who was writing to them. He was an Apostle! He had authority. The rest of us "also believed" starting with verse 13. 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    Don't compare me with John Calvin. Calvinists believe we are ALL predestinated, but John writes in a way that shows those first century Christians that only the Apostles were predestinated, and God knows the rest of us through His foreknowledge. It looks like many here on the forum have never...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    Only the Apostles. Only the Jews were elected, but not all Jews are saved. Even Judas was predestined, BUT NOT SAVED.

    Doctrine of Predestination

    John uses "key" words. It is a Semitic Writing Style you don't seem to be aware of. Not understanding the eastern style, but limiting yourself to a western reading habit, you and most of the Church have caused your false doctrine. The key word is "give/given" and by the Father to Jesus. John 6...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    Paul is speaking of the Apostles. Verse 13 starts the part about the Ephesians. Verse 12 will show you. Don't pull verses out of context. What is predestinated is what happens to a Christian. They are conformed to image of Christ. That is the sign of a true believer.

    Doctrine of Predestination

    He has. Isaiah 54:5 God cannot tempt anyone to sin. God chose and gave Judas to Jesus because of his lack of character.

    ARE THOSE IN HELL SEPARATED FROM THE LORD?

    God is everywhere. He is spirit. Your question should be will the dead in hell be able to pray to God and receive an answer. NO That is the separation.

    WHAT DID JOHN MEAN THAT JESUS WAS THE PROPITIATION FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD?

    I agree. But there are two types of sin. Someone walking in the light would never commit what the Catholics call a mortal sin, in other words, a sin unto death. When walking in the light, Jesus cleanses our imperfections of fruit called "sins not unto death." It really all depends on if you are...

    WHAT DID JOHN MEAN THAT JESUS WAS THE PROPITIATION FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD?

    If they are a human being their sins could be cleansed by their repentance. Jesus didn't die for only the saved as Calvinism teaches falsely.

    Doctrine of Predestination

    Really? How stupid and blasphemous.

    Doctrine of Predestination

    Correct, but Jesus says so about Judas being the exception of those God gave Him. The Father gave Judas to Jesus to fulfill prophecy.

    Doctrine of Predestination

    Yes. That is why we cannot take Scriptures out of context and apply them elsewhere than where they were intended. Very few Christians can accept that "no one can snatch them out of God's hand" is ONLY applying to the apostles. The rest of us must continue being conformed to the image of Christ...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    I appreciate the law you've created for yourself. But you make it very heavy for others to know they must obey your laws or they will be belittled.

    Doctrine of Predestination

    Oh please. You know exactly what I meant without trying to make me look small and yourself ultra-pious. You just added (-19). You are now being mischievous. Yes, John 17:6-19 are about the apostles ONLY. Then Jesus prays for those who believe their word, but not that they are predestined or...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    I'll use your scriptures if you don't mind. John 17:6 and Ephesians 1:4 are both regarding the Apostles ONLY. Romans 8:29-30 is not WHO is being predestined, but about the conformation to the image of His Son is predestined in all you believe. Ephesians 1:4 - Paul speaking to the Church at...

    Made Sinless Forever : #2

    The "Queen of Heaven" title is in the Old Testament. Ashtoreth and Tammuz were the goddess and son. Jezebel the wife of Ahab was a high priestess of that pagan religion. Today, the "queen of heaven" is Mary

    Made Sinless Forever : #2

    Do you know how the Marycults began don't you? It was two emperors after Constantine legalized Christianity who made paganism illegal and Christianity became the state religion. So Roman goddesses and child gods the pagans were used to they simply Christianized. Like Venus and Cupid became Mary...

    In Revelation 2, the letter to the church of Thyatira, do you think that reference to Jezebel is the Mary cult? I do.

    Made Sinless Forever : #2

    Why do you accept that a lady spoke to Bernadette and it wasn't a demon? I accept that Jesus appears to Muslims and they become born again Christians. I haven't heard anything about Jesus appearing to Hindus or Buddhists, or any of the thousand other religions with false gods. I may be wrong...
