Nothing wrong with quoting Ephesians 2:8-9, well done. Where you push the boundary is in that doctrine of absolute determinism. Determinism The doctrine that all events, including human action, are ultimately determined by causes regarded as external to the will. Some philosophers have taken...

I do not think that God decreed that people will sin. I don't think that God controls the minds of serial killers.

There are two points you must consider. 1) Old covenant Israel no longer exists and they were severed for failure to honor the conditions of the old covenant 2) The conversion rate of Jews to Jesus is extremely low, even today, always has been

Hello Evmur. Israel have been grafted out for two thousand years! Are you saying that all those Jews that did not believe, for two thousand years are saved?

The plain reading states that the nation of Israel was severed from Christ. If there was a negligible number of Jews that believed in Jesus. That does not contradict, the fact, that old covenant Israel was severed from Christ.

You completely missed the warning that Paul gave to the Gentiles, Romans 11:19-21 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; for if God did not...

An appalling interpretation of Romans 11. Grafting in actually means grafted into Christ. Grafting out means severed from Christ. That is why Paul said earlier. Romans 11:7-10 What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were...

Maxamir, do you accept that Gentiles can be grafted out? Romans 11:19-21 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; for if God did not spare the...

At last, we have someone who can explain the book of revelation! How do you read the following verses given that the end of the world has taken place. These passages indicate the end occurs during the third woe. Romans 11 14 The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is coming quickly...

I will correct what you stated. The letter to the Romans is an exposition of why Israel failed to achieve righteousness. While the Gentiles did achieve that righteousness. Romans 9:30-31 What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, but the...

Perhaps the tribulation did occur for Israel in AD 70 (Luke 21). The Mosaic covenant was a conditional covenant and was cancelled because of Israel's behavior. After all, Israel did, in fact, reject and crucify their own promised messiah. The messiah was the fulfillment of all the law had...

It's not so much deception that you are guilty of, rather, it is ignoring the context. The context matters and your not the only one who does that. We were never told to proclaim the whole counsel of God. We were told to proclaim the Christ, that is the gospel. Jesus Christ crucified, buried...

I read chapter one as you suggested but Paul commences his narration in chapter two, verse seventeen. Chapter one is the standard declaration of the sinful state of mankind. Chapter two is the start of Paul's rebuke and education of the Jews in Rome. From Romans 2:17 through to Romans 11:36...

Your quotation below ignores the context of the letter to the Romans. Rom 9:18 Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens. The context of Romans 9, states that Israel was hardened and the Gentiles were grafted in. You cannot use Romans 9:17 to support your argument.

You continue on this absurd tangent. I asked you what the gospel was and you did not answer correctly. Now your talking about false Christ's? Do you agree that Romans 10:9 is the gospel or not?

A near perfect reply. The emphasis on Jesus Christ! "Believe on The Lord Jesus Christ, and thou Shalt Be Saved!..." (Acts 16:31 AV) "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the Dead, thou Shalt Be Saved."...

Calling each other satanic is probably not a good idea.

That is not the gospel, that is a typical example of systematic theology. The apostle Paul told us what the gospel is. 1 Corinthians15:1-8 Now I make known to you, brothers and sisters, the gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, in which you also stand, by which you also...

Are you referring to old covenant Israel or modern Israel? Was Paul claiming that God would redeem old covenant Israel?

Which Israel, old covenant Israel or the Gentile nation that is called Israel today? The old covenant, the Mosaic covenant was terminated by the new covenant. I do not understand your interpretation.
