I think they are discussing two opposite groups. But are both discussing the promise. If one group is promised eternal life then the othe must be promised eternal damnation.

Yep you got it totally right that is totally accurate of what I said. The unbeliever hear the same words you do the same words I do. But only the elect hear and understand. By the grace of God.

I do the same thing. And whats weird is me and you could come to completely differnt conclusions. Sometimes I wonder If everything whote only has one meaning shouldn't everyone be on the same page then. But I know God is happy when we read his word and discuss his word. Regardless of and...

I understand that concept as well. And im sure there are verses where it does matter who is addressed and who isint. Take Moses and the 10 commandments he was speaking to only Isreal at that time. Yet he was speaking to us even today and everyone who reads it. I see it sort of like this. I...

You are right it can't be lost by man it cannot be taken from you by Satan or power or dominion. But this is my question i have been thinking about. There is one who can take it away. I would think the Father who gave you to the Son has the power to take you away. The idea of once saved always...

I dont belive man's free will has anything to do with his salvation. I do believe we have to willing choose to follow him. In no ways in my mind does that mean I chose to save my soul. It means to me God's grace gave me the ability to hear his voice and willingly follow him. I do disagree...

I say they are contradictory. I also think God dosent contradict himself. So that to me would mean they are discussing two differnt things or addressing two different issues while sounding similar. If two things won't harmonize it is because at thier core they are differnt. Maybe those two verse...

I understand that concept. God knew I was the elect all my life I did not. In this earthy realm I was not the elect I was not a believer I was a disgusting sinner until God's grace allowed me to willing accept Jesus as Lord and savior. In God's eternal realm I always was. I had to come to him...

I dont disagree with you. I do believe God inspired the words of the Bible for every single human being to hear. Only his sheep understand it. I guess it is hard for me to explain. God's grace is what saves us that and that alone. God's grace is what gives us the choice to follow him. Without...

Ok I think I know where our difference is comming from. I think we have hearing and understanding mixed up. To me hearing is hearing. If I tell 100 people about Jesus and 1 understands it. To me all of them heard it but only the one understands it.

John 10:27-29 it starts by saying my sheep hear my voice. Not my sheep listen to my voice. IMO those are two differnt things. So John 10:27 ---> John 2:24 --->John 10:28,29 ---> John 2:25.

Let he that hath an ear..hear what the spirit say to the churches. Every man or woman who is not deaf has an ear. The words of the Bible are for all to hear. Only his sheep know his voice yes. But he spoke to every sheep. How is anybody ever saved if only his sheep hear his voice if they need...

First off just because you are a member of the church does not mean you are saved. And if it is only addressed to the church then why dosent it say "if someone who is in the church hears my voice and opens the door"

Behold I stand at the door and knock. If ANY man hear my voice and open the door I will come into him and will and supp with him and he with me. Rev 3;20. If Any--- any human on earth. If Any man hear my voice and open the door--- we have to open the door. IMO God's grace is the knock. It is...
