    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Q1. What type of material are the pages of the Book of Life made out of? Q2. Does God write in a literal book with pen and ink in heaven? Q3. Did God make the ink(?) and the writing instrument also? Oh yes, there is that of God writing on the earthen tablets of stone for the 10Cs and then the...

    Please see my edit in post #185. Thanks.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Only AFTER one is born of mortal flesh and then comes to repentance, having faith in the blood of Christ, and is born again of the Holy Spirit, is one's name written in "the book of life", who by the way is Jesus HIMSELF (which is to say that there is NO literal book in heaven called "the book...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    At the moment, the Holy Spirit can't help you, until you let go of the man made religious doctrine that unrepentant individuals were predestinated to belong to God, long before the world was created.

    My post #177 explains it better.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    No one, and I mean NOT ONE mortal person can be in Christ before the foundation of the world WITHOUT personal repentance towards God. Please stop insulting God's intelligence as well as ours.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Again...the plan of God to SAVE people from eternal death is what was predestinated before the world was, NOT PEOPLE. That plan was fulfilled by the Lord Jesus Christ, which was kept secret since the beginning of the world. Rom. 16 [25] Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    In every generation, all descendants from the seed of Adam, as they were and are physically born of flesh, remain "condemned already", UNTIL they come to God in REPENTANCE for forgiveness and removal of sins by faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Gen. 2[17] But of the tree of the knowledge...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Q. How did the disciples become chosen of God, that they should be given by God to Jesus, during His mortal ministry on earth? A. They came to God FIRST through John the Baptist's call of repentance unto them, and for no other reason.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    One step at a time. Let's look at the unsaved first, and why they are! Prior to YOU coming to Jesus, you were unsaved!! DIDN'T YOU KNOW that you were predestined to "condemnation [death] ALREADY" ?? Do you know why we must repent towards God first, before we are saved through the sacrificial...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    I fully comprehend what you and the scriptures are saying. I am not contesting anyone or scripture. I am contesting the "religious" concept of how "predestination" is being misunderstood, misapplied and misused. First and foremost, all should know that both Adam and Eve were 100% innocent when...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    The point of my story (post #143): Please notice John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. There is NOTHING in verse 16 that reveals any kind of predestination of anyone at anytime. In...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    What I revealed is a lie?? You are just in denial. You need to think your own foul concept through, and then just "mirror" it over on to the unsaved. The results? What you think God DID for the Saved in the positive, is exactly what He did for the Unsaved in the negative. If God predestinated...

    You might just be wrong about this earth being destroyed, and possibly other things?

    Over the years I have done my due diligence to understand the many thoughts people have about what a soul is. By the help of the Holy Spirit within me, through God's word, I believe that I have a solid understanding of what a soul is and what it is not. I hope that I have conveyed that to you...

    You might just be wrong about this earth being destroyed, and possibly other things?

    Hell is nothing more than the grave, aka the pit. What "religion" has done with those three biblical words is just a downright shame!! Not because they don't understand them, but rather how they have twisted words to describe them, according to their first foul doctrine, which is that "God gave...

    You might just be wrong about this earth being destroyed, and possibly other things?

    Because born again Christians have become New creatures, due to the Eternal Holy Spirit of God dwelling within them, they also can trust Jesus' words in John 11[26] And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? Unfortunately for the unsaved, who ignore and/or...

    You might just be wrong about this earth being destroyed, and possibly other things?

    I am very focused on the first 10 words of Lev. 17[11] For the life of the flesh is in the blood: It's not at all complicated to understand. Q. What is it, that is in our blood, that causes our flesh to live? A. Oxygen

    You might just be wrong about this earth being destroyed, and possibly other things?

    You, and billions of others, misunderstand because you have been persuaded by the ignorance of man's religious thoughts of what THEY believe a soul is. If there be anything for the evidence of what "a soul" is, it is entirely that of our conscious thoughts that are generated through our fleshly...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    One was clearly and specifically chosen by God. The other was chosen by the will of man. God apparently agrees, because it is He Himself who reveals in Rev. that there are ONLY 12. Rev. 21 [14] And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Nope! The plan to adopt as many as would believe in Jesus, was purposely premeditated, predetermined and predestinated. To hear it your way is to believe that God purposely premeditated, predetermined and predestinated people to not believe in Jesus.
