    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    I can agree to that.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Oh oh! You seem to believe grace is a license to sin with no penalty. "Unmerited favor" right?

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    The T of Total Depravity AFTER Jesus takes away our sin and fills us with His presence is heresy. You deny the gospel of the power of God, Romans 1:16-17. Where do you think Jesus takes away our sin? From its source - The sin nature/our old man, Romans 6:5-7. We are clean. John 15:3. Don't...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Then you must be a Calvinist. The "T" in TULIP is heresy. It teaches that even after Jesus has cleansed us of all sin we are still totally depraved. Is that true? Is His blood powerless?

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    How are you an authority? How do you know what you believe is what God meant? Does God speak to you?

    According to .....?

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    I agree the plan was predestined. But why have you not shown your text to look up. It looks like you wrote this yourself. Ephesians 1 (Young's Literal Translation) 3 Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Romans 10:17 My point is not everyone besides the 12 disciples, which includes Paul will be raised up at the last day. 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Why are there Christians who came to Christ, but are now atheists? Didn't they come to Christ? Did the Father draw them? Are these atheists saved because of this passage?

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    No it is meant to read it in Spirit and in Truth, not according to man made doctrines. I was at my mechanics shop while my car was being worked on and pulled out my Bible to read Ephesians again, as I recalled when it was difficult for me to understand years ago. So I read it slowly, and wham...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    By not knowing about John 17, you don't know vital information as to who John 6:43-44 is referring to. The eleven apostles were drawn by the Father as He knew them before the foundation of the world. You have been taught this includes you. I can see why you don't want to let that go.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Jesus always knew there would be 12 apostles in the end. But He also knew Judas was not going to be one of them. The eleven were to first go to the Jews. But God's vision to Peter later on (who knows how long) that the Holy Spirit was to go now to the Gentiles happened. Then Jesus called...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    So you don't believe what is written? Listen to me. Throw away all doctrines of men, and possibly demons and read the Word of God slowly and let it be your truth. You just showed everyone that Paul is wrong and your man-made doctrine is true.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Ephesians 1:3-12 Paul's reasoning about the Apostles: 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    All of them except the son of perdition that the Scriptures may be fulfilled. You haven't been listening.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    They first belonged to the Father. You just asked me this and you didn't like the answer. This is about the Apostles, not those who walked away after believing in Jesus. Those never belonged to the Father. CONTEXT, CONTEXT, CONTEXT!!! John wrote chapters 6, 10 and 17 addressing the connection...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    It was specifically talking about His Apostles. They are those the"Father gives to the Son." Those who walked away in the last passage I posted to you, "came to him" also. If it had been the Father that brought them to Jesus, they would have never walked away. Maybe this prayer Jesus prayed for...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?” 61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    The TRUTH shall make you free. John 8:32, 34-36 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36...
