Does the sovereignty of God nullify the grace of God?

sorry for that

Christ Jesus only died for those that his Father gave him, which included all of the old testament saints and all of the new testament saints.

Jesus, while on the cross, gave them the promise of their eternal inheritance of heaven, without the loss of one (John 6:37-40).

Christ died for sinners, which includes everyone who ever lived.

What sins did someone who dies in infancy commit?

Mem, You have more knowledge of the truth than most on this forum, but you seem to be lacking in making the scriptures harmonize, as there should be no contradictions in the scriptures if we are to have the full knowledge of the truth, in which my hope is that my comments may contribute to your better understanding.

Your remark of "God wants everyone to come unto the knowledge of salvation" will contradict with your statement that "God gets what he wants". You are right that God gets what he wants (Dan 4:35) (Eph 1:5) (Eph 1:11)

You have taken your quote from 1 Tim 2:4 and I am going to give you the interpretation that I think is the right interpretation. You can research it and come to an understanding of your own, but just keep in mind that the scriptures do not contradict themselves in matters concerning the doctrine of Jesus Christ.

Paul left Timothy in Ephesus to charge some, in the church, that they teach no other doctrine (1 Tim 1:3). Paul further instructs Timothy (in 1 Tim 2) that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men who are in authority over the city of Ephesus hat the church in Ephesus may lead a quite and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty, for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men, who have been teaching a false doctrine, to be saved=delivered from their ignorance, and come unto a knowledge of the truth.

Verse 2:6 - Who gave himself a ransom for all (of those that His Father gave him - John 6:39). Verse 2:8 - I will therefore that men every where, lifting up holy hands, without without wrath and doubting (Psalms 134).

Timothy continued, in this second chapter to instruct the members as to how they should conduct themselves in the church.

I hope this helps your understanding, in the fact that the scriptures do not contradict each other.

If we are discussing scripture, it would help me to know exactly what scripture you are basing your statement on.

What is your interpretation of John 6:38-39?

Everyone who is born into this world, by natural birth, inherits the sin of Adam, until they are born again. The wicked (those who are not born again) live to be old (Psalms 73, especially verse 5) Infants who die are born again. John was even born again in his mother's whom.

Supreme Power, defines the Sovereignty of God. He has the power and justification to do anything He pleases. But even in this capacity of having all of this freedom to do as God wants to do, He also set up His own basic rules and guidelines to keep Him from being a dictator. Free will, is the biggest attribute He gave to His creation. Mercy and Grace He put into place so He will be patient with us. The Sovereignty of God is actually fascinating. He can do anything. Has all power. But makes it fair in how He utilizes His position.

None, but Christ died for them to make a way for them to have everlasting life. Why do you ask?

For starters...

1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

So what are you going to do with Rom 9 ??

No, God's sovereignty does not nullify His grace.

To say that God is sovereign, is to say that He is the ultimate and supreme Ruler. There is no higher authority than Him.

I believe that man's free will does not compromise the sovereignty of God. Rather, the former emphasizes the latter.

Because there is no thing or no one greater than God, His purposes will be accomplished regardless of what mankind does or doesn't do. And to paraphrase A. W. Tozer, only a god (intentional lowercase) less than sovereign would be afraid to give mankind free will.

Before God created the universe, He had infinite options at His disposal as to how He would accomplish that. Therefore, no matter what has happened, will happen, could have happened or will have happened, God's Will stands.

The only sinners that Christ Jesus saved eternally are those that his Father gave him (John 6:38-39), and he did not lose any of them, and will raise them up at the last day.

Because you said -

Romans 9 gives us specific instances of God choosing specific individual because of His foreknowledge of their character.

9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Why? God saw Jacob as a man of faith (in spite of his deception of Isaac). God also saw Esau as a faithless "profane" person (Heb 12:16) who did not genuinely repent.

9:17: For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Why? God saw Pharaoh as an unrepentant person, even though he was given many chances to repent. Pharaoh was an evil man to begin with and he kept hardening his heart until God hardened it. God showed His power in the plagues, and then in the drowning of Pharaoh and his army.

9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? This would correspond to what Christ said regarding the Gospel: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (Mk 16:16)

9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: For example, the world before the Flood had 120 years to repent.

Concerning God’select nation, Israel…they are enemies of the gospel. They were elect, chosen, to bring forth the seed, Jesus. Salvation is never the context of election.

Romans 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.

SO nothing, then.

So it's only about 4 different people??

5 if we include you.
