Wrong. Has nothing to do with ethnicity whatsoever.

When used to describe God, it always means that His JUSTICE is equitable.
JUSTICE....not some bizarre Calvinist humbug about favoritism.

But your post DOES betrays typical Calvinist thinking: how God shows favoritism.....toward YOU and nobody else....:sick:
What's would be wrong with being a calvinist anyway if that's what somebody wants to be

@Jordon : That would be great, Bro!
Ok You can truly answer if the lord wills it 😂

And if he doesn't you can say the lord hasn't willed me to answer yet.

A prime example is the lord willed you could knock seek and his door is open in your heart.


You where set free from the law of sin which is to disobey God.

Because Jesus fulfilled the law for you.

So you have been set free from the bondage of sin.

Because you repented and apologised from your heart.

@Jordon : This is absolutely brilliant, my dear brother! Thank you so much for this! This all makes sense to me now, because of the way that you have explained it!

Everyone should take note of this Post, I reckon! It clears up a lot of misunderstanding!!

Good on you, Bro!

Keep up your great work!

@Jordon, I hear those Calvin-bells ringing, whilst Calvinists are on the Calvin sled, sending Calvin’s Institutes and the Westminster Confession down the chimney for all the elect!!
 
Well, good. Since you say I haven't proved a thing, then reconcile your unbiblical notion that God's, covenant, filial love is universal in extent with these passages: Ex 20:5-6; Ps 32:10; 86:5; 103:11, 17; 146:8; Jn 14 21, 23; 15:10; 16:27. Go for it if you feel up to it. Find me at least one passage in scripture that teaches God loves the wicked just like he loves the ones mentioned in the above passages.

For God so loved the world... probably a few sinners in the world just my guess. Plus let's not forget every single one of us in this room is a sinner. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. So yes he loves people even those who are sinners otherwise he would hate every single human there ever was. And no one would be saved

Were sinners.
 
Blatantly false, like so much of what you say. Unbelievers hold diverse views on free will... the concept originated with unbelievers.

The concept originated with Adam as seen when he took and gobbled down the fruit...

What do you consider saved sinners are?
