Does the sovereignty of God nullify the grace of God?

I agree with you that God elected a people before he formed the world, and he gave them to his Son to redeem them from their sins. Where we disagree, is that those that he elected were not all of the inhabitants of the earth.

Christ died for only those that God gave him, and promised them an inheritance of eternal heaven.(John 6:37-40) The reason that he had to choose anyone, is that he saw that no one would seek him, no, not one. Those that were not chosen and redeemed are still not seeking him.

We would have all went to hell, had he not chosen some.

And it was God and God alone Who decided that.

Before creating the earth, God predestines/fore-ordained/elects that Jesus is how people can be saved. He then sends Jesus to bring salvation to the world and Jesus even tells us anyone "whoever believes" will be saved. The words are very clear. You believe, you are saved. You do not believe, you are not saved.

Check your Strong's concordance for the Greek meaning of the word "saved".

Reread 1 Cor 2:14 and tell me if the natural man, before he has been born again of the Spirit, can believe the things of the Spirit, that he cannot discern, and thinks them to be foolishness.

I never said God elected a people, although, He knows the end from the beginning and already knew. What I said is before even creating the earth/world, God elected/fore-ordained/predestined how people would/could be saved. God elected Jesus to save the world before He began creating the world.

Sorry about misunderstanding your post, but if God wanted Jesus to save (deliver) all of the inhabitants of the world, why didn't he? Because we know, by the harmony of the scriptures, that all of the inhabitants of the earth will not go to heaven.

Surely you do not think that man has power over God,


Dan 4:35, All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth, and NONE CAN STAY HIS HAND, or say unto him. What doest thou.

God makes Himself known to everyone. Romans 1 tells us this. 1:19 Because a knowledge of God is revealed to them, for God has revealed it to them. From there it's a choice humans make to believe or not believe.

No, God provided "a way" for all humans to be saved. He did this before ever creating the world. Providing a way to be saved and someone actually being saved are nowhere close to the same meaning.

All of the scriptures must harmonize before you can understand the doctrine of Jesus Christ.

Can you provide me some scriptures that uphold your claim?

I believe that all this predetermination view happens to everyone, including yours here.

But my theory on predicting the future or predetermination is based on God can only see so far into the future, but not as far as some people would like to believe. I believe it's probably something like a year at most.

But what people dont realise is God is not controlling time itself, God is just letting people live in a different time to him,

So God can see your life and everything that happens in your life for upto one year ahead.

But this is not fatalism or your whole life set in motion

If anything it gives you the chance to change your life.

As even you can know what is going to happen before it happens.

Maybe it is this way because of other people in your life, or with what is in the world .

But what I also believe is God can bring people out of a time event too
yeah predetermism is basically the human mind inability to rationalise, there life is unfolding in a different time.to God.

But i strongly feal we are only one year at most behind God in time lapse,

Basically God can show you your life for upto one year at most.

That it.

It's quite simple really 😊

Evidently, you do not understand what the scriptures reveal of exactly how awful things a child of God can do, as described in Rom 1, and in other scriptures, when they are walking in the flesh. Isiah 64:6, But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags.

It does harmonize, for God so "loved" the world...not parts of it...He sent His only Son that "whosever believes" is saved. You just refuse the truth because it goes against your beliefs.

19. Because a knowledge of God is revealed to them, for God has revealed it to them.
20. For the secrets of God from the foundation of the world are appearing to his creatures through intelligence, even his power and his eternal Godhead, that they will be without a defense,
21. Because they knew God, and they did not glorify him as God, nor did they give him thanks, but they became destitute in their reasoning and became dull in their heart without understanding.
22. And when they thought in themselves that they were wise, they became insane. (Reprobate Mind)

You believe this about Christians?

No wonder you you don't have any understanding.

That is my belief as I try to harmonize the scriptures. God did give all mankind the freedom to choose how they want to live their lives as they sojourn here on earth. I don't know why God choose to give them that freedom, because he foresaw that none would seek him, no, not one.

I have many questions as to why God did, and, did not do things, but who am I to question God? Job did, and was severely called to attention by God for questioning him.

Most loving thing God can do? That I don't know. But the most loving thing He has revealed to US was when the Lord of Hosts, the mighty King of Glory, came down and gave himself for the sins of the whole world, to taste death for every man, and do it all willing that all men might come to repentance. And, in the end, the revealed knowledge of that, of offering Himself and dying, loving the whole world, even His enemies, will be FAR more glorious than anything else I have heard so far. His great love will be revealed to all. But it will be too late for many, because they chose not to let the King of Glory into their hearts.

Can you prove your theory by the scriptures, or do you really believe the scriptures are divinely inspired by God?

How much freedom does a slave have?

Can you expound on that statement more fully? For example, what slave are you referring to?

I believe it would be ignorant to believe that the word of God does not bring a personal message for all people,

And if I receive a personal message I will simply share his word 😊

That's what I believe

Then, you can call me ignorant.

The scriptures were inspired by God as instructions as to how he wants his children to live their lives as they sojourn here on earth. Most of the new testament scriptures are letters that are addressed to the churches.
