In your theology, did God accidentally save a mixed multitude with the Israelites that he had not intended to save? Or was it always His intention to deliver out of Egypt both Israelites and many other races?
Did Jesus Die on The Cross for The Just/Elect/Saved Whose Names Are Written in The Book of Life OR

Right! And he won't because he CAN'T!
What part of "essence" don't you understand?
Well...we don't know if he never intended to save the "mixed multitude" given the promises God made to Abraham about such "mixed multitudes".
God can love someone and let them abandon Him. Allowing someone to leave is not to stop loving them. God's love is constant. God is love. You misconstrue my position,.
If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it is yours. If it doesn't, it never was.
Well...we don't know if he never intended to save the "mixed multitude" given the promises God made to Abraham about such "mixed multitudes".
But you claimed God sent Moses to save only the Israelites.
I already have.
Before I repeat them, first give me your interpretation of the sentences I constructed that you ignored and that are exactly like Jesus' remarks.
And God IS also Just!
He did. He sent Moses to save his firstborn! But given God's promises to Abraham, why couldn't those firstborn have also included Gentiles? After all, both Jewish and Gentile believers, are children of Abraham.
Do you recall how the Greater Moses was sent "only" to the Jews -- in other words, He was sent first to the Jews then to all others. Likewise, Moses was sent "first" to Abraham's physical descendants but ended up leading out of bondage Gentiles, as well.
I'm not sure you understand what it is to...be in Christ. There is a spiritual transaction that takes place wherein the Spirit baptizes an individual INTO Christ. The reason why a believer is secure is because only God can place one into Christ. It would require an unbaptism of sorts by the Spirit to remove an individual from being in Christ. When Jesus says we are safe in His and the Father's hands, is because there is no unbaptism of the Spirit.
If you won't type in the texts that you believe make your point, you are not really serious about having a dialogue. you are just jabbing.
But don't forget either that Egypt is a type of World that was run by the "god of this world" (Pharaoh). So, Moses definitely was not sent to Egypt to rescue her per se...but that doesn't mean he wouldn't save others who were in bondage with the Hebrews and wanted to leave.
Do you recall Jesus praying for two different groups of elect in John 17, while explicitly omitting the world that hates him and his chosen people?
Oh...you mean you're not as familiar with the scriptures as you like to pretend you are? Try Luke 15:1-7.
So you are recanting on your opening paragraph, which I cited. Maybe you need to re-write it and post now your amended version.
