    Unconditional love verses from God to us the people

    If God loves both conditionally and unconditionally at the same time and in the same sense, that constitutes a genuine contradiction, not merely an apparent one. Jesus clearly contradicted himself if the nature of God's love is both! And you know this in your own self-deceived heart because...

    Unconditional love verses from God to us the people

    But you conveniently forget that the divine gift of faith only manifests itself by God's efficacious grace (Act 18:27).

    Unconditional love verses from God to us the people

    I perused your delusional gibberish of your non sequitur "proof texts" and you didn't harmonize or reconcile anything. You just think you did.

    Unconditional love verses from God to us the people

    Excellent observation, brother! (y) God had already performed his promised New Covenant heart transplant before the people repented.

    Unconditional love verses from God to us the people

    Hate to burst your balloon, but contradictions by definition cannot be harmonized. We cannot reconcile something that at once says "A" is true and that "A" is also false at the same time and in the same sense! Clearly, you have betrayed the chaotic, confused, irrational nature of your mind...

    Unconditional love verses from God to us the people

    That's what Jesus himself taught in Jn 10:17; 14:21; 15:10; 16:27 -- unless of course you think John Calvin wrote those verses.

    Unconditional love verses from God to us the people

    God's unconditional, unilateral promises in the New Covenant totally satisfies sinners' requirements. After sinners are raised from the dead, are given new hearts, have the Law written unto their new hearts of flesh, and have their hearts circumcised by God, they will respond appropriately to...

    Unconditional love verses from God to us the people

    I posted four such passages the day before yesterday and you ignored them all by deflecting from the subject of love with salvation verses. So, it is YOU who is confused. You clearly "forgot" all your posts that deflected those four passages and the fact that you refused to address all of them...

    Unconditional love verses from God to us the people

    So, then Jesus contradicted himself? He was confused as to the nature of his own love for mankind and his Father's, as well? God, providentially and benevolently provides his common grace to all men, including his sworn enemies, in order to preserve life here on earth until all the elect are...

    Unconditional love verses from God to us the people

    With all due respect, sir, you have that backwards. The impetus for human obedience to God is love. IOW, faithfulness/obedience flows from a person's love for God. This is why God's sovereign work of heart circumcision is a vitally important component to one's salvation; for without divine...

    Understanding God’s election

    Hi Folks: Yesterday, I did some unpacking of the Parable of the Banquet in Luke 14. Here's another observation from that parable. Clearly, there are two main groups of people in view: One group received the outward call of the gospel and rejected it and were condemned; the other group...

    Mr. GWH, I have a question for you: When you were born how did you get to be in Adam?

    Your god is merely a potential savior. But my God who revealed himself in scripture is an actual Savior who gives life to whoever HE pleases!

    Understanding God’s election

    No, I attend a church that consists mostly of lIKE-MINDED brothers and sisters who love God's Truth. My bible tells me that if you have the love of God in your soul, that love will rejoice in the truth. Rather, you rail against it. You fight against it. You oppose it! you deny it! You cannot...

    The "Anomalies" in the Parable of the Banquet Luke 14:15-24 15 When one of those who reclined at table with him heard these things, he said to him, "Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!" 16 But he said to him, "A man once gave a great banquet and invited many. 17 And...

    Understanding God’s election

    Whoa! Now some would bend and even break their own backs to try to make the "two seeds" The Garden a highly controversial subject. No one has ever answered the question that I have often posed in the past in this regrd: Of whose seed was Adam? The willfully ignorant will often appeal to the...

    Okay...I give up. I will edit my various translations as follows to correct the grievous errors in God's Word as follows: Error #1: Rom 1:7 7 To all [Jews and Gentiles] in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: NIV Error #2: Rom 1:13 13 I do not want you to be unaware, [my...

    Unconditional love verses from God to us the people

    Wow! Great minds do think alike! (y) :D I have asked this type of question often in the past! If God loves all w/o exception, if He loves all w/o any regard for their spiritual condition, then why would atonement for sin be necessary, or as you asked why would repentance be necessary? After...
