Joh 15:6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. BINGO Rom 11:22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you...

Likewise you can't get it if God foreknows you will recant.

No, it's the once faithful who become unfaithful and recant their faith who do not secure salvation. Not the issue under contention. The issue is who God chooses for salvation, those come to faith in Christ but then recant and refuse to be restored, or those He foreknows will come to faith in...

That's my point . . . 35 but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. Being...

I've never believed the hypercalvinist lie that someone who was once a faithful Christian but recants their faith and refuses to be restored to it, is still saved. Col 1:21-23 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled (22) in the...

It would be contradictory of Jesus to call people workers of iniquity, say I do not know you, and depart from me, and then still abide in them as you erroneously suggest. Jesus does abide faithful, but not in workers of iniquity. Only a corrupt doctrine of demons teaches that He continues to...

False converts, not saints as such then. Luk 13:27 But He will say, 'I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.'

Yeah, but I have noticed atheists of every stripe lapse into criticising the God they don't believe in, hence my comment about you being inconsistent. Also, no atheist can coherently explain how it is they and the Universe exist without suppressing the truth of God being the Supreme Creator...

The discomforts, deprivations, and hazards of ministry, mission, and possibly martyrdom, can cause Christians to withdraw from the frontline. 2Ti 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica. Odd that someone supporting OSAS would be...

You are an atheist, someone who doesn't believe God exists, so your statement is inconsistent. How do you explain the energy required to create the Universe?

Those ignoring the teaching of Jesus to repent because the kingdom of heaven is at hand have entered through the wide gate and are on the broad way that leads to destruction. Those who believe and obey the teachings of Jesus, and do unto others as they would have done unto them, have found and...

As a great satirist once said: "You have to be chosen to believe in freewill. You can't just decide to believe it yourself. But you are free to believe you are predestined if you want, and if you try to convince a person who believes in freewill to change their mind you should remember they...

Nor me, but I'm up for discussion about the second verse quoted here. Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Mat 7:12-14 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets...

Yes, under the heading OMNISCIENCE.

Divine Foreknowledge of Adam and Eve's disobedience did not cause it, just the same as Divine Foreknowledge of every detail of everyone's existence doesn't predetermine their every thought, word, and deed.

Yes, well said @Bob Carabbio. It is as simple as that. My signature says: "All that is knowable is always known by God" and the follow on from that is "If He doesn't always know all that is knowable then he isn't God." Eph 1:3-6 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who...

Who says?

The drawing of the Father is open to all. Dare I say it is a no-brainer.

Pride spawns jealousy among other things.

I think the idea is that God's Grace and Benevolence is sufficient for everyone if everyone repents. 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance...
