    Why deny the obvious? Lord Jesus identifies who the "all" are whom the Father gives to the Son in "John 6:40." John 6:39-40 (WEB) 39 This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of {{{all}}} he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day. 40 {{{For}}}...

    setst777 said: In John 6:40, Lord Jesus does identify "who" the "all" are whom the Father gives to the Son, which Lord Jesus identifies as "whoever believes." The word "For" [Greek: gar] in "John 6:40" explains the reason for what was stated previously in "John 6:39;" in that, "everyone who...

    I have no problem at all with God hardening a person's heart in judgment because they continually refused His grace. That is righteous of God to do so. setst777 said: Your own statements show that God can do nothing but create people for a particular destination considering what you believe...

    In John 6:40, Lord Jesus does identify "who" the "all" are whom the Father gives to the Son, which Lord Jesus identifies as "whoever believes." John 6:40 states: “For [Greek: gar] this is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal...

    God always hardens a person's heart in judgment because they refused His grace so they can continue in their wickedness, just as Israel had done (Romans 11:7-12). But the humble, crushed, the heavy laden, will hear and believe because their hearts are prepared for the message of salvation. The...

    I agree with all that you wrote, except for the parts I quoted from you above. John 6:37 states: All those the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in never cast out. “Verse 37” tells us that there exists only one reason why anyone comes to the son, and that is because...

    You disagree with the verse. Read the context, pay attention to grammar. You will never understand by quoting isolated verses. The Scriptures do not teach that God chooses some to believe and give to the Son; rather, the will of God is to give to the Son those who believe in the Son. John 6...

    "Romans 8:28" does not give us an explanation of how they were called; however, many other Passages do explain. In every case, the one's called out are those who believe after hearing the Gospel. And this is according to God's purpose to save those who believe (John 3:16). The Spirit dwells in...

    I am aware of these Passages. I understand "Jeremiah 1:5" as God forming Jeremiah in the womb as an extraordinary event to fulfill a special purpose; but this does not mean that all people are formed in the womb in this way; for, God created all things to produce after their own kind, just as...

    The concept of "Transcendence" is a philosophy. The way you describe "transcendence" of God is a flawed and Biblically unsupported philosophical assumption; because, your definition of the word "Transcendence" is not found in Scripture when it explains who God is. Here is your description of...

    setst777 said: It is not up to you to define or make the rules of God's transcendent nature, or to make up such terms to define God as you see fit. You adopted the philosophy as your own, so it is up to you. No one is forcing you. "John 1:3" is describing a past activity, not present. If it...
