Yep and no man can pluck us out of Jesus hands! So unless your name is "no man" you cannot pluck yourself out of Jesus hand!

YOu are so so so very very wrong! We are the elect (chosen) from the foundation of the world, we were foreknown, (prognosis) predestined,(prohorizo) As a matter of fact, no one can come to Jesus unless God drags HIm! and all who come to HIm , He in no wise will cast out! That is a bible verse...

And this is saying what???? what are you implying?

I never said they are the same individual. Go back and read my post carefully this time. And Jesus is also called Jehovah! Teh father is the first and last and Jesus is the first and last! Jesus said he was one with His Father- that is not the JW mistranslation meaning united or in union.

Where does a Christian live physically? does He lis in heavenly places physically or does he lie in this present evil (poneros) world? Once again the is a spatial or geographic connotation and not a relational connotation according to the definition of "lie". Also why then do the older...

Except that it is not! It is talking about physical punishment and shrinking away from what they were taught. Teh Greek makes it abundantly clear these were not saved jews, but Jews who were as we would say "on the edge". 28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three...

Yep, but they are all trusting in something other than the death and resurrection of Jesus for their salvation! Th econtext is showing they are presenting their works to gain admission. doesn't work that way.

That is not the new Covenant, but salvation into the church, the church is not part of the new covenant.

God can do anything, but He told us in His Word that No one can pluck us out of HIs hand! And the unsaved have no free choice.

He did create perfect people. But for some unknown reason, god needed to test those perfect people before He sealed their perfection, so He gave them free will. They chose wrong and we now live in a fallen world filled with fallen people. Mankind is now enslaved to sin and has lost that free...

If God willed I never sin again, I wouldn't. And in heaven He does and I won't! You need to look further than just the words on the page in English, and a simple concordance. Will has many variations of meaning in Greek based on its construct. that is why in the past believing Scholars coined...

And teh covenant is with the children of those who He made a covenant with in the desert but broke that covenant. And a covenant still needs a mediator as the Bible declares.

That may be a decent application, but that is not what these verses are speaking of. Remember no matter what we have to keep passages and even whole letters in context to avoid misunderstanding what is being written. This letters was written to jews, and by the tone and debate in the letter...

Yes there is loss! One then becomes a disobedient child of God and while we are in rebellion, God will allow us to bear the consequences of our sin, to bring us to teh end of ourselves and like th eprodigal son- return to our Father. Once again our relationship stays as a child of God, but...

Correct! So jesus is presently mediating the new covenant- not enforcing it. One mediates something to get it to go into effect. Once a covenant is in effect there is no longer a need for a mediator!

Well as "wickedness" is an English translation your argument in crossing greek to english is irrelevant. Actually it is better translated as evil. And if this was in the nominative like poneros appears in 18 you would have a point, but as it appears in the dative this adjective becomes and...

Not according to the definition. I will stick with the Word over your opinion every day!

Sorry that is not opinion but fact! Isaiah 44:6 King James Version 6 Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. Two people are specifically saying this: 1. Jehovah the King of Israel 2. His...

Well we believers learn all that through the trials involved in being believers. We do not necessarily need military service to accomplish that. While it wasd directly applied to taxes , the command of that if your enemy bids you to go one mile- go two and if they ask for your cloak give them...

So you believe mans free choice overrules the sovereignty of God then. OK! I guess you have a problem with Jeremish being appointed a prophet before he was born and Paul being set apart in his mothers womb then. Unsaved man has no free will. They are incapable of choosing God on their own...
