    Why Do The Elect Need to Be Persuaded?

    Why Do The Elect Need to Be Persuaded? The expressions used 5 times in Romans 5 between vs 15-19 ie, 'in Adam' and 'in Christ' make it clear to me that all are included with no exceptions. The question is, do we believe that God could/would be so generous in the given circumstances of an...

    “YOU WILL BE MY WITNESSES” Acts 1:8

    In this particular world of internet communications one can claim any piety which cannot be verified or unverified ...so we surround ourselves with this seemingly impenetrable barrier. What we can however decipher is the nature and direction of ones words......are we strutters projecting what...

    The Desecration of the Second Temple.

    I'm sure God is big enough to look after himself.....in fact, consider all the suffering he has had to witness through the centuries. The suffering of his creatures pains God far beyond what our awareness allows. Do we get our nose outta joint just because questions are asked or statements made...

    Why Do The Elect Need to Be Persuaded?

    To clarify your statement, the Lion is a symbol of strength not violence....and it was a lamb looking as if it was slain who could open the seals....seals that were full of violence. And how did he open them? ...by absorbing the violence (it killed him) and in so doing revealing the character...

    “YOU WILL BE MY WITNESSES” Acts 1:8

    People judged the disciples this way....they executed them. Did they live poor lives?

    “YOU WILL BE MY WITNESSES” Acts 1:8

    Being witnesses is an interesting one. What are we witnesses to is the question? Are we witnesses to an arbitrary God? if so, how does this differ to the many gods the world considers worthy of worship? Are we witness to ourselves....if so, how are we then witnesses to/of God? Are we Jehovah's...

    Why Do The Elect Need to Be Persuaded?

    My point is, Isaiah's understanding of how God is, is in error. To say that God creates evil is an indication that the incarnation (the Gospel) is not understood. This is understandable in Isaiah's case but for those claiming to be believers in Jesus, it makes no sense.

    Why Do The Elect Need to Be Persuaded?

    If that is the case and Jesus is the final word on how God is then we must conclude that the understanding that the Hebrews had of God was in error. You quoted 'I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. Isaiah 45:7 ....this cannot...

    Why Do The Elect Need to Be Persuaded?

    Do we conclude they are at odds with each others characters/principles?

    The Desecration of the Second Temple.

    I'm surprised you are so easily offended when a differing point of view is presented to you H2S.

    Why Do The Elect Need to Be Persuaded?

    When I think of God I think of Jesus. If I thought of God as the Hebrews did, reflected in your quote, my understanding of God would be limited to a God who has not revealed himself in the flesh.

    When Jesus comes...

    The delusion is not how people expect it to be....or when they expect it to be.

    Tradition!

    Tradition means doing something that has been done for a long time. So why don't we squat over a hole for the toilet instead of using a china bowl to sit on? Squatting over a hole at ground level has been done considerably longer than sitting on china bowls. So much for tradition....to which...

    The Desecration of the Second Temple.

    Building it? what?, a model in a desert location? definitely not where they claim it should be....the very spot where the dome of the Rock now stands. As far as Prophecy goes, these are Jesus words 'Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem how oft would would I have gathered you as a hen gathers her chicks...

    Why Do The Elect Need to Be Persuaded?

    God doesn't make trash and if what God makes decides to trash itself, God is right there to redeem it

    The Desecration of the Second Temple.

    I think you have just not heard or ignored my statement of these sites being private sites....or don't understand the implications. People can say anything, believe anything and prepare anything they want....make as many sites as they want...even broadcast it to the world..... yet without...

    Why Do The Elect Need to Be Persuaded?

    That's no reconciliation Scott. It's an attempted justification for contradiction.

    To Spirit-filled Christians who DID NOT get the jab Was the Johnnie Walker sufficient?

    Why Do The Elect Need to Be Persuaded?

    I see you confusing worldly politics with the character of God Enoch, when the two have nothing in common.
