Could it be.....SATAN?! Ha! And that ever present thing called sin. :mad:

Over the many years, I have heard a ton of testimonies on life before Jesus. I know that the Holy Spirit is the initiating factor in every heart. We are people with many different personalities, backgrounds, beliefs but...for myself I can honestly say it was Truth that brought me to an...

"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." Matthew 24:21 Well, if THIS already happened-I will eat my hat. :rolleyes:

We need to get @"ByGrace" a larger computer screen! Yes?! And, I will also be waiting to see if this thread takes off @Mayflower ;)

"God with us arrives" Emmanuel <--- My favorite name for Christ ♥

You could also say it is God's will that people don't kill, hate, steal, fornicate...on and on. IF God wanted to do something, ability wise there is NO end to His sovereignty, His Might...He Himself seems to have CHOSEN to allow people to do all kinds of bad stuff so...no free will in choosing...

People have been very duped by those in power, they always seem to get so complacent, and allow one of the biggest lies ever sold us in this country-"Big Brother's Got Yer Back"!! Riiiight. I am and have been cynical (probably too cynical, lol) over politics since the 1980's. And, like you...

How do you square those 2 scriptures? The Psalm says"chosen" and John says "whomsoever".

@Naomi25 , my above post was in agreement with you, maybe the bold letters seemed I was being disagreeing? Not at all...they were mostly for other's benefit, lol.

Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." I think that kind of covers everyone. His timing.....! And, if a seeker is sincere about seeking the True God, God will open the way, and, no false...

The media has become a beast in itself. Showing the dark side of life so often that it seems to become the "norm" anymore. People become numb to it and even Christians will "wax cold in the last days". We do not need preaching revivals, we need HUGE prayer revivals! "" Time No Longer..."...

"(a) God wants everybody saved. (b) God could save everyone. (c) God does not." A- Is it not His will? 1 Timothy 2:4 “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” I would say, yes it is His will. B- God could save everyone. Of course He could. He could...

"Where exactly did you imagine mankind would be following the resurrection? I only ask this because I know many have been taught all manner of foolishness respecting what is to become of the earth, with some suggesting it will be burned up later to be replaced by a new earth.?" Well, from your...

Thank you! And well written article. I must say though, there was nothing I had not already read or thought of before in it.

Why is WHAT necessary? I have no idea what you mean about the Jesuits baptizing babies to get them saved. Nor do I see how in any way it connects to what I said. "God is beyond the need to do anything at all. His sovereignty is absolute. As such He can do as He wills." Well, of course! and...

Ha! Yeah, kicking and screaming while you obey anyhow...kind of reminds me of Jonah. God is funny...I would LOVE to know what His laugh sounds like!

Agreed. And also, I agree with: John 16:8 The world, which means every person to me, will be convicted and given the choice to accept or not.

Well and simply put @Taken

"Aren't you, in essence, complaining about God having picked you? Is it so important that you had to have picked God? Do we care?" The only thing about your post that I will take issue with is that, I DO care because, if you think about the implications involved here, how can you not care about...

It seems that some of the Gospel writers omit certain parts of what Jesus said about divorce. Maybe they didn’t think they were particularly relevant to their audience? Cultural thing? I know God is the same always and does not change yet, culture sure does! Lol...I dunno. This subject is a...
