Read it is context farouk. If the goodness of God resulted in an irresistible lead to repentance, explain the hard hearts of those who don't? It is called free will. 4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to...

Repentance is not a gift. People were repenting and being baptized by John the Baptist BEFORE the Spirit fell.

Peter told them to REPENT and they SHALL RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. Which came first? Acts 2:38 Throw out everything you've learned from man, and just read the Word of God.

What church fathers couldn't see in the early centuries of the church is that they were not just for those cities, but were PROPHECY of the history of the church before He returns. When you study church history the eras are easy to recognize, and they are IN ORDER. If they were in any other...

Boo! It's me!!! I had computer problems and had to start a new membership with a different name, but I kept my avatar of my loveable raccoons I feed every night.

A true man tells the truth. A true lady does too, especially to save others from themselves. Jesus is the one who called the church age after Thyatira (the RCC and Oth) the dead church when He said "you have a reputation that you are alive, but you are dead." That was said to Sardis, the church...

No, its me. If you look at my profile, I said aka 1stcenturylady. I had computer problems where when Microsoft did an update, it wiped out even my bookmarks, and I had about a hundred. Also, my login didn't work due to someone hacking my email account, and having to change passwords. Sites I had...

To "accept" or "choose" is through free will. Sorry if you are blind to that, but many are blind and lead other blind folk into the ditch with them. Ah vey!

The point is, that not all Israel accepted Christ, so even if you were called the "elect," there was still a personal responsibility to accept or reject Christ. Christ died that WHOSOEVER will accept Him of their own free will and follow Him to the end of their days would be saved, even...

What is really interesting is that not all the "elect" are saved. Isaiah 45:4 For Jacob My servant’s sake, And Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me.
