(John 10:26) "But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you". (John 8:47) "He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God." One has to be of God to believe. One has to be of God to hear. He isn't saying you have to...

Didn't I give you several? Stranger

You didn't get to choose who your parents were. You were born of them. They in turn didn't pick you. You were of them. This is what I am saying we as children of God are. We are of Him, not picked out from a large mass of people. There are those born into this life that are of Him and...

Yes, we become personally responsible for Adam's sin. This is what (Rom. 5:13-14) is saying. From Adam to Moses there was no law that the people were under which caused God to not account their sins to them. But they still died. Why? Because of Adams sin. Because they were guilty as Adam...

I would say we are not all children of God. We are all created by God, but not all are His children. 'Sons of God' speaks to our mature sonship placment. (Gal. 3:25-4:9) God is love, but God doesn't love everyone. (Rom. 9:11-14) God would have all to be saved, but all won't be saved...

It may sound ok, yet you know we are different here. You are emphasizing the human choice. When you say, "He knew who would choose Him", it appears as though God looked ahead and saw those who would choose Him and thus He chose them. But that is not what I am saying, or what I believe...

As I said, this is strange to me. You said earlier that we are born lost. You say now we suffer for Adam's sin, but we cannot be punished for Adam's sin. If we are born lost, and if we suffer for Adam's sin, die, (Rom. 5:14) how is that not Adam's guilt imputed to the human race? Yall...

A simple answer to your questions is yes, and yes. God chooses, and, we choose. (John 6:37,44) My more involved explanation is this. God knows those who are His. It is not as though He is sitting in heaven and saying I pick this one and this one I don't. He knows all who are His and who...

You can and should read the book of Revelation. If you have some sort of mental block concerning it, it is not from God. (Rev. 1:3) You don't have to understand it all, but you should read it all. Just like with the whole Bible. Blessing is to those who read it, hear it, and keep it...

The point was that the lot was a legitimate Old Testament method of knowing the will of God. And God honored it. It was legitimate in the choosing of the disciple who was to replace Matthias because the Holy Spirit had not yet come. We do not use it today because we have the Holy Spirit...

You're quite welcome. I do have a question. In the last quote you gave of me, there is a sentence there, that is not mine. It starts out " How sad". Is that your statement, because it appears as mine, but is not. Stranger

Concerning Paul's apostleship and that of Matthias, Matthias was the replacement for Judas. (Acts 1:15-26) The casting of lots was not a crap game as some describe it. It was a legitimate Old Testament method of determining the will of God. (Lev. 16:8-10), (Num. 26:55) And (Prov. 16:33)...

I think it is quite in line with the subject matter... a difficult passage concerning a prophet. In (1 Kings 13:1-10) we see the prophet being obedient to God. And we see the vindication of his prophecy against the altar of Jeroboam in the rent altar and the withered and then healed hand of...

Take it to the thread you started about Job and the angels. I already showed you Satan was an angel. You lost that argument there, so now you want to bring it up again here? Stranger

Well, this NFL thing just grows and grows. Now Kapernick is suing the NFL for 'collusion against him. How infantile. Here he and all these other blacks are in collusion against whites who are 'holden them down'. But, he is against any 'collusion' against him. How stupid. How black. They...

The Almighty is appeased if you come with the right sacrifice and the right purpose. Balak came with neither. Balaks purpose was to curse Israel. No amount of sacrifice could be given for God to do that. Balak was childish in attempting to manipulate God. God sees through it all...

So is Satan...real. Stranger

I doubt these preachers you mention preach there is no consequences for sin in the believers life. You apparently differ with them as to what the consequences are. You come under grace when you believe and are born-again. You obtained eternal life. Grace is the overall movement of God...

Appeasement had nothing to do with what Balak wanted. Balak wanted God to curse Israel. Stranger
