Arbitrarily means randomly. No one has said God chooses arbitrarily. You say alot of false things.
Oh yes, I think I read in scripture where the Fibonacci Sequence comes into play somehow.
He chose a people in Christ before the foundation of the world. Doesn't sound random.
Some specialize in it. They mock and scoff Biblical truths, when they
are not busy rejecting, contradicting, and outright denying them.
There is certainly some major problem there with what the Bible
says. I mean, they even go around telling us how unfair God is!
For Him to do the very thing He has done since the beginning...
What kind of Christian does that??? No love of God there.
Fixed it for you, unless you can prove (which you cannot) he had specific criteria explicitly stated for each person.
Romans 8 verse 29-30; Ephesians 1 verse 5 ~ Those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified. He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will.
I don't mind people believing differently. It's all the deliberate misrepresentation that is whacko.
That would make salvation no longer of grace. He simply chose to have a people for Himself.
Well, it is certainly shocking how little they have learned about God intellectually or personally.
There you go again. You don't understand, but it's not that you aren't capable; just unwilling.Back to the you cannot understand approach coming soon.
I think you spend too much time on GIPHY!Not coerced but made spiritually alive.
Picture this if you will...
Person walking down the street,
no interest in God whatsoever,
the will is bound to unbelief,
hates God,
Satan is in control,
thinks evil thoughts day in and day out
thinks the Gospel is foolish,
and then POOF right out of nowhere made spiritually alive!!
you forgot the emoji, lol
She shows zero insight or interest into the process of falling in love with God, Who draws us with loving kindness.
She would much rather mock and scoff and present logical fallacies while she misrepresents Scripture.
It is really rather sad. She spends so much time in that mode one must wonder what she gets out of it.
I suppose it props up her sense of superiority. It goes hand-in-hand with the pride inherent in her pet vain self-exalting theology.
