Were the Church Fathers Sent by God? Further to my post #24 God can and does send whoever he wants. Cyrus the heathen King of the Meds-Persians was sent to liberate Israel from the Babylonians. .....and as alluded to in post #24, a donkey spoke to Balaam to bring him to his senses. Putting God...

With respect Johann, rightness is not qualified by the volume of words made on a matter.....although it does attempt to do that. :)

All are elected Johann. Romans 5:12-19 states 5 times (just so we don't miss it) that all are in Adam and all are in Christ. All humanity has been elected in Jesus There are none that are not elected. God is exonerated from any blame of people lost. Example:- a man who suicides can never say...

Check post #30 Robert.

How can you KNOW that you are saved and part of the elect? I have responded to that drawing which draws all men .....Jesus has elected all the seed of Adam......none are exempt from that drawing.......relatively few respond. It is a tragedy the proportions of which will only be seen in...

John 12:32 'And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself'. ...Jesus.

I see eisegesis is your specialty. Exegesis on the other hand has little to do with your biblical narrative. Here is Wikipedia's definition for those unfamiliar with the expression:- Eisegesis (/ˌaɪsɪˈdʒiːsɪs/) is the process of interpreting text in such a way as to introduce one's own...

Is God arbitrary?.....some men like to think so. They superimpose their desire for arbitrariness onto God thus making him like themselves. Jesus' parable of the employer who called different men to work in his field at various times of the day (Matthew 20:1-16) illustrates how the...

Assurance is the inherent promise....for God cannot and does not lie. The angels declaration to the shepherds in Bethlehem was for all men. Will all men believe this?.....unfortunately not!

Yes, it's in a mess, however, the lens you see the sequences though are faulty.....it conflates that which is separate and muddles your understanding of events. Now, I know you've blocked me AJ, (something you have threatened three times) so you possibly won't read this but others will. Herein...

Isn't that interesting?....Jesus takes on the title of the Almighty!

These texts below are Jesus speaking.....check the context. Revelation 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 22:12-13 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his...

It is essential to be in relationship with Jesus. In that relationship one will live and walk by the Spirit. Without it, it's all sounding brass and tinkling symbols.

A head full of information on its own even if it is correct is useless. The devils know more facts than any of us but the relationship they have with Jesus is antagonistic.....a lot of good that'll do them! The only thing that matters is knowing Jesus. That'll be the litmus test. To one crowd...

did you check out the lightbearers site in my signature?

:)...What is the Gospel?....yes indeed, what is it. That God has always loved us and that love was manifested in Jesus in an unprecedented way. Embraced, it is a love that dispels fear and gives birth to hope and the more I learn about it the less 'religious' I become.....in fact, I am enabled...

Do we determine truth or lack of it of what is said by our bias/prejudices? or do we hear it even when a donkey speaks it? When prejudices rule in our decision making we can be assured our ears only hear what we want them to hear irrespective of how much our mouths boast about truth!

Welcome to the human struggle Wynnnnienona! :)

you don't like or disagree with what is said there?

Rejecting what has been accomplished for humanity comes in many forms. Foremost is the 'religious'....the dogmatic....the insistence that God is subject to our rules and understandings. 'let the children come to me for such is the kingdom of heaven'.....Jesus. .....and it's not just talking...
