Only in the Lord Jesus, can you have some sense of liberty without oppression, but not to indulge the flesh. You are not free to sin you are freed from sin. 2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Galatians 5:13 For you, brethren...

People are slaves (of sin) A slavery of the mind and spirit. They simply fulfil the lusts of the flesh, that is all they are not being of the Spirit of God. https://www.gotquestions.org/slave-to-sin.html Romans 8 says it like this. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on...

All that is the general call to repent and believe, it given to all people all over the earth. There is the general call, but then there is also the personal call of those who God has predestined to save. Only they get the eternal inheritance. Hebrews 9 11 But Christ came as High Priest of...

God loves His people as He loves His own Son. And why wouldn't He? They are His children. And God loves His own family, just as you do also. (well some people do love their family with a great love!, God the Father certainly does love His own like that.) This is what it means when speaking of...

Luke 10, the will of God and Christ as to who knows them and is saved, so then since not all know Christ, not all did Christ will that they know Christ and God. Jesus Rejoices in the Spirit 21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth...

Appointed before time began, chosen from the beginning, given to us, this is for only His people. 2 Thess 2 13 But we are [f]bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through [g]sanctification by the Spirit...

John 5 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. 37 And the Father Himself, who...

Describing the brethren, the church of the saved, written to them and about them only. 1 John 4 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He...

Whoever yes, but the only ones who come are those God gives to Christ. Otherwise they are unwilling as they do not have the love of God indwelling them. We are shown mercy and grace to be saved because of the great love the God the Father has for us. God does not love all people with the same...

Paul even uses His own conversion experience to teach that this is as a pattern for those who will believe on Christ for eternal life. That God's will cannot be resisted when He chooses to save someone. And that should be of great comfort to those who believe. 1 Tim 1 15 This is a faithful...

Acts, Pauls' own conversion shows the inward call. Of course, quite dramatically irresistible this was. Only Paul heard the words of the Lord Jesus speaking to Him personally. Then he said: 3 “I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel...

In Acts we see the inward work of God on a person, this inward call, results in salvation. She God has changed, touched her, in fact her spirit God touched as God is spirit, it is the spirit that is saved. 13 And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was...

5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be [b]carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the [c]carnal mind is enmity against...

No God does not open the heart of every man. 2 Cor 4 clearly states that. 3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of...

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor [a]handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in...

Surely this is not a problem with election by grace and mercy of God Christ is issuing a general outward reaching call to believe; He told that to all. Christ though acknowledges He gets His believers from the Father alone, according to God's will. You can have both the outward and the...

Issue could be cheaters see the count and know they lost. So create whatever number of ballots needed to win. That is how extended days to count new fraudulent ballots might be used. Ideally have ballots warehoused ready to go.

Philippians 3 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation! 3 For we are the circumcision, who worship [a]God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus...

Maybe some do, but it won't save them. No one can follow God's law wholeheartedly without a single failure. James 2:10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. That is why mercy and grace are what saves us, not keeping the law or doing right. Lots...

I think the above idea is that unless one is born again of the Spirit of God, people will not believe and follow Christ. And also this shows the New Covenant as superior to the OC, where everyone knows God, not just a few people. As God describes it here Hebrews 8 A New Covenant 7 For if that...
