    Saved By Fear?

    The 'all' in (1 Tim. 2:4) speaks to all classes of men. It is based on (2:1-3). Salvation is offered to all men, Kings included. That all are included in the invitation, does not negate the truth of there being an elect of God. And that only the elect will come, because they are elect...

    Saved By Fear?

    Yes. Is that so hard to understand? I have repeated it many times already. I have showed you in Scripture, (2 Thess. 2:13). The invitation extends to all who are in Adam. Christ died for all. To any who come, will be saved. Is that too difficult? But, left alone, none will come...

    Saved By Fear?

    As far as you can tell you don't want to find anything in the Bible that explains things that way. (Rom. 9:11) "For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth."...

    Hostile

    Those who don't know God and don't want to know God, need to stay away from the Church. You want to attack the Bible but then your feeling are hurt when the Bible is used against you. You want it your way which is contrary to Christianity. And if you can't have your way, you whine about...

    Saved By Fear?

    If there is no non-elect, then there is no elect. You make no sense here. Stranger

    Saved By Fear?

    Because Christ died for all and the invitation is for all. It is there for their taking. Stranger

    Saved By Fear?

    You're changing the subject. We are not talking about doing good or evil. We are talking the nature of the 'will'. So again, do you see distinction between the nature of the will of man and the nature of God's will? Or do you see them as just the same? God has a will and man has a...

    Saved By Fear?

    Well, even though God has elect some to salvation and others not to salvation, the opportunity is still there to be saved by both the elect and non-elect. It will also be by man's choice. Both the elect and non-elect will make a choice. So why is the doctrine of election so repulsive to...

    Saved By Fear?

    I am saying there is distinction between 'free will' and 'will'. You apparently make no distinction. If one has a will then it must be free, I believe you are saying. That is where the confusion lies. Do you believe God's will and mans will are the same. Both have a will. Are they the...

    Saved By Fear?

    You know there are elect angles, correct? (1 Tim.5:21) They didn't fall because they were elect. Why is God not a monster for electing some and not others? I have no problem with the justice of God in not providing a salvation for the fallen angels. That is His prerogative as God. He is...

    The Virgin Birth

    The Bible is one Book with one Author, God. It contains the Truth concerning God and the believer of God. It is the only Book ever written by God and given to man. Stranger

    Saved By Fear?

    I'm asking the difference between 'free will' and 'will'. Mainline Christianity may need to think a little bit about the words they use. You have given no distinction between. Why? Stranger

    Saved By Fear?

    I have already acknowledged that man has a will. I have acknowledged that God not only chose man but chose the way by which man would come into that salvation was through the exercise of his will. (2 Thess. 2:13) Now, you need to distinguish between 'free will' and 'will'. What is the...

    Saved By Fear?

    Your definition of 'free will' is nothing but a definition of 'will'. Distinguish the difference between 'free will' and 'will'. Stranger

    Saved By Fear?

    Yes, I believe God. Thus I believe that not all will be saved. I got in free. Stranger

    Saved By Fear?

    What a hypocrite you are. You don't like religious people trying to straighten out your theology, yet you want to straighten out their theology. satan always casts doubt on the Word of God. 'Yeah hath God said'. (Gen. 3:1) Jesus answer to satan is 'it is written'. (Matt. 4:4,7,10) Yes...

    Fruit

    No, it is the correct picture of God who is love, and righteous and just. What is screwed up is you. If you were a follower of God, and Christ you would not mock the words of Christ concerning the necessity of believing in Him. What it says about me is that I believe what the Bible says...

    (John 3:15-16) (John 3:18) (John 5:46-47) (John 8:24) etc. etc. Yes, those who do not believe in Jesus Christ will be rejected by the Father. There is nothing wrong with a tyrant if the tyrant is God. Jesus Christ will be sole dictator during the Millennium. I would have it no other way...

    Saved By Fear?

    So God is going to save everyone He just didn't tell us about it? And what He did tell us of eternal condemnation and the lake of fire is a lie? No wonder you don't believe the Bible. Stranger
