    Is Believing/Behaving Correctly a Work/Debt

    In seeking the truth of Christ's doctrine, we should strive to keep the scriptures in harmony with each other. Does John 6:37-40 indicate that Jesus died for all mankind, or for only those that his Father gave him? Does Rom 5:19 indicate that all mankind shall be made righteous?

    I appreciate your patience with me, and your desire to understand the doctrine of Christ more fully, as we seek to harmonize the scriptures. The scriptures teach us that God's elect are comprised of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation (Rev 5:9). All of his elect are...

    Ezk 11:19 - A person that has not been born again does not have a heart that can be pricked by God to feel spiritual guilt. Paul is talking to people who knows that there is a God, but have turned away from God by lusting after the things of the world.

    God's Very Simple Will, Under His Pure GRACE!

    Spiritual Israel is not the nation of Israel (Rom 9:6). God changed Jacob's name to be no more called Jacob, but to be called Israel (Gen 32:28). Jacob/Israel represents spiritual Israel (Rom 9:6-11). Spiritual Israel is made up of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation (Rev 5:9).
