I am paraphrasing the scripture. If you want read it for yourself, go ahead, Eph 6:37.
The offer of Salvation is universal, but the application is only : "by Faith".

That's not what you stated. You stated that the will of God will always be accomplished. God created hell and was never intended that man end up there. If man ends up in hell, he's going to a place that was never meant for him.
I'd say not a thing.
It's merely pettiness trying to discredit your Exegesis.
Those not meant for God's grace to receive his free gift of faith and Salvation cannot understand the words of God. To them it is foolishness. As God intends.
Jesus taught in parables so that not all would understand and come to repentance.
We witness worldly minds trying to rationalize the scriptures. And when they can't they resort to language of the world. Insults,mockery, and the like. Which just goes to prove the scriptures truth even more. They don't understand the things of the spirit.
Many are called to read the Bible and believe what they understand it to say.
Few are chosen by The Word to be saved and know the message beyond the words on a page.
Isn't that the living example of what God said about natural man?
You make the same mistake others have.
John was writing the book of God's revelations. It was to that book that his warning applied.
We know this because while in exile on Patmos John the Revelator was writing God's book of Revelations to the world.
Not the new testament.
Since you insist on misrepresenting what I write, your comments are irrelevant.
Incorrect.Revelation, singular.
John the revelator received God's revelations while on the isle of Patmos.
There you go again. Don't you ever take a break!Revelation, singular.
Revelation 1:1 “The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,” (NIV)
Revelation, singular. The text itself says so.
No you should not take a break from studying the scriptures, but you sure need to take a break from hekling people, which accomplishes nothing in discussing the scriptures.
John the revelator received the revelations of the ascended Christ. There are three categories in those 22 chapters. Which is why 22 chapters contain revelations,apokalypsis, the unveiling, of God's future plans for the world.
The revelations Jesus shared with John proves God ,as he has said throughout his word, predestined the future.
Revelation is a forewarning.
John did not put a title to his final work. Maybe he figured it would all speak for itself as Christ would lead future readers to understand in time.
It has been given different titles over the years.
The Apocalypse of John
The Revelation of Saint John the Divine
The point is, its given in the application of Spiritual Salvation. Its not a requirement to get saved.
I agree with you on this point.
Not all have the gift of healing, not all have the gift of wisdom. So not all have that special faith, great faith.
