The doctrine of election and reprobation

Give us one single verse that supports election for salvation WITHOUT distorting the meaning.

That's a very good point, I'm sure we all struggle with worldly worries and concerns and they can easily swallow us up if we don't follow Jesus closely.
We must put on the whole Armour of God every morning and take our sword, because we go into a life or death battle every day. Don't forget, we can lose our salvation if we don't preserver to the end. We must finish this race and he who endures to the end will be saved. I know this doesn't sound like Calvinism, but it is describing true believers. Those who don't make it to the end were never truly saved from the beginning.
So trust in the Lord with everything you have, give Him 100% of your heart, mind, soul and strength. If you hold back anything, you will suffer chastisement and none of us like that.

Genesis 6:3 (KJV)

3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh:.....

This has not changed....Jez sayin'

Yes but not on the sense of absolute nothing. We have to believe the Gospel:

Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.”
Acts of the Apostles 16:30‭-‬31 NLT

I can find myself in a place of grumbling and complaining very often when monkey wrenches fly from all directions during the course of the day, and then I recall that I may make my plans but it is HE who guides my steps. And when it doesn't go according to my plans, I most often get cranked up and huffy and grumpy, until I remember that verse: a man makes his plans but it is God who guides his steps.

Please understand, that our experiences are all preordained by God. He puts us through trials to purify us, nothing happens by accident in Gods universe

AMEN !!
Amen again!!

That's true, but God makes you believe it while He hides it from others so you still have nothing to boast about

He grafted us in so we should take care that our hearts do not become evil and unbelieving as with Israel.

Sorry I should have mentioned that nobody but God knows who's saved and who's not. A person may present as a model Christian, but they may be wicked inwardly and we would never know it and they themselves may not know it until they come to the Lord saying Lord, Lord haven't we done XY&Z and he will tell them depart from Me, I never knew you.

No, He doesn't. He only hides it from those who harden their own hearts first.

Gotta go do some work.
It's been so nice to meet you mark.

Calvinists can't be sure they are really saved because their Salvation is not contingent on their faith but on God's ultimate plan for the elect.

Yes, that's true. We have learned a lot about God's character by the way He dealt with Israel. Our Shepherd will never lead us astray, we are far more blessed than Israel was. Israel had the Law, we have the perfect fulfillment of the law for us in Christ

OK, I've gotta go as well. Bye for now folks

The locusts, yes, they have caused much grief in my life also

Yes I believe once TRULY saved always saved, but how can we know if we are truly saved. That's the worry I have

God will restore all the years the locusts ate, just trust in Him to finish His work in your life
