neither supercede each other. it is one scripture. harmonization does not consist in re-writing or deleting God's word, and Hebrews 7:18-20 concerns the law given through Moses - which came after Exodus 4, not before. the annulling of the commandment does not mean the annulling of the OT...

trouble is that's not what the Bible says.. Exodus 4:21 And the LORD said to Moses, "When you go back to Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go." perhaps some of our human ideas...

there is still an awfully big logical error here, considering that Romans 9:17-18 is quoting Exodus, where it's specifically written God hardened Pharoahs heart. i doubt this verse means, as you say, exactly the opposite of what it says. i notice you omitted the part about Pharoah. instead of...

i find it odd that simply having quoted John 10, you believe me to personally have an implicit conclusion.

*factual

Sure - then you went on to tell me all about my supposed hypercalvinism, when previous to this all I had done is quote John 10 ((which answers the OP explicitly)), 1 Timothy 2 and Romans 3 - - as face ual statements without any interpretation.

Love is an awful lot bigger than me

what should we make of this? Mark 4:11-12 And He said to them, "To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, so that 'seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand; lest...

this is all just your interpretation of scripture i quoted. yup. i think maybe you have been carefully groomed to despise what you call in blanket terms 'calvanism' and trained to see it under every rock...? hanging out in this forum, i've come to see that is not uncommon for people growing...

you said i hadn't been quoting scripture, that i had been giving only my own interpretations. i said 1 Timothy 2:3-4 says "He desires all men to be saved" that's a quote, not an interpretation. i said Romans 3:11 says "no one seeks Him" that's a quote, not an interpretation. that's...

Luke 19:41-42 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes." Ezekiel 33:11 'As I live,' says the Lord GOD, 'I have no pleasure in the death of the...

1 John 4:19 we love Him because He first loved us.

it makes me wonder if John 6:29 is saying belief is the work originating from / possessed by God, or the work associated with God. the grammar allows either interpretation. and clearly those who are His are those who the Father gave Him((vv. 37-39)). which presents an intellectual problem...

staying on topic! yay Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love Me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of Myself, but he sent Me. Why do ye not understand My speech? even because ye cannot hear My word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of...

John 10 says what i told you -- that the Shepherd seeks and finds His lost sheep. and it is straightforward logic that desiring that all be saved does not equal saving all or "enabling" all. pointing out logical fallacy is not 'giving interpretation' are you a universalist? 3rd time: i've...

yes. quoting 1 Timothy 2 -- in which neither the word "seek" nor the word "enable" exist at all, even though you - by way of your personal interpretation - said they do. and quoting Romans 3. just quoting scripture here, bro. nobody said the Bible is easy.

John 6:60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard, said, "This is a hard saying; who can understand it?" :coffee::unsure:

you think the harmonization of Romans 9:18 is that Romans 9:18 means exactly the opposite of what it says? again, who is the one giving suspicious personal interpretations...? :oops:

i am gonna need you to point to me ever saying any such thing. the reality here is that all i have done is quote the scripture. i have given zero interpretation whatsoever. but upon you seeing the scripture you have filled your head with all kinds of imaginary things you think i have said. so...

um, no, all i did was say Jesus plainly answered the question, i verbatim quoted the scripture. but it's like i said -- a lot of people don't like the answer. the answer is extremely clear: why doesn't everyone believe? because not everyone is His sheep. you may interpret that how you like...
