If Jesus was only meant for that to be for those He said verbally to, then why would He even include it in the Bible? Jesus knew exactly we were going to read this and knew exactly what was going to happen right now. Here are a few verses to support my claim: Matthew 24:14; Acts 1:8; Matthew...

We are all called to be fishers of men, not just the apostles he was talking to.

Thanks for the insight sir! Also, I do actually have the book and read it. But I think some people are impossible not to anger because God, as He did with pharaoh, let his heart be hardened. We both know God has an elect, and I also think it depends on whether this person is one of God's sheep...

We are called to spread the gospel, even if someone may already know about it.

Yes, we must remember we are not the Holy Spirit and that we can't change someone's heart─that's God's job. Thank you for your insight and I will look at the booklet you mentioned. May God bless you!

When spreading the Word of God, no matter how hard I try, I find it very tough to spread the Word of God without the person I'm preaching to thinking I'm a hateful bigot and getting very angry. I'm asking for advise on how to spread the Word of God without angering someone and also not veering...

Yes, he's not my god. I support him now because he's the best guy we have. It's kind of like choosing between a rotten tomato and just a little rotten tomato, I would choose the second option. I'm not saying he's a rotten guy, I just think there's a few things he could do (obviously) or change...

I'll just wait until this thread gets kind of old to post here again and no one really pays attention to this anymore, then I'll be the winner at least for a while!

Jesus always draws His sheep back to Himself, so yeah.

I agree with what you say, but the only thing I've got to say here is that we do have free will. I like to think of it on how we (His sheep) are born into sin, being lost, and out of our free will we only choose sin because it's our nature and the only thing we want, so we can't do good (Romans...

(I do not agree with John Calvin and I want to make that clear first) So it's not complete security based on what you're saying because we can lose our salvation (that is, our salvation isn't secure). I believe you cannot be unsaved and also have free will at the same time. God already has...

Jesus says His sheep hear His voice and also that there are some not yet of this fold that He still needs to bring to Himself and they will listen to His voice. The other verses I mentioned do though help prove of security and certainty of our salvation in Christ alone.

I thought this was a Christian Godly discussion? The impression I get from you is that you are getting quite upset. I could be wrong even though in some areas you are using all caps but, just let me know. I'm sorry if I have made you upset, and if that's true, I ask for your forgiveness. So, my...

It says in the Bible that salvation is secure and one cannot lose salvation. I"m not God, but God reveals the truth to us in His Word by the power of the Holy Spirit.

That's proof.

14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one...

I'm talking about people who say they don't believe in God anymore. Do you believe our salvation is secure?

Read John 10.

They never truly were saved in the first place.

I have high-functioning autism and God allowed this for a reason. It's not a mental illness, it's part of how God made you. People tell me that I'm different from most people, and you may be getting the same comments. But that's okay, we are all different in one way or another, and I know this...
