We know that.
But, did you have something informative to say?
Or, do you just like throwing fruit out of a ten-story window and do not bother to concern yourself with where it will land?
Too true! God rewards the man of flesh who uses his flesh to do what Jesus said was impossible!
Well, that is according to the logic of those who adhere to their vain self-exalting theology, which
goes against dozens of Scriptures which explicitly claim otherwise. And we must not expect too
much of those who reject what Scriptures says, after all, since in the words of Scripture, they are fools.
So God makes a decision that man must abide by and you see it is as man defining God?
It's no wonder you don't understand how things work. Maybe you should change your name to "wordtwister", you seem to be very good at that.
All only sometimes means all.
When speaking about the pre-selected, it means them specifically of course.
It's the context, señor!
Stick with the context!
Don't time travel in such matters.
Jesus came to his own people.
Yet, fully knowing that later on he will expand.
We were preselected. Chosen before the foundation of the world, "in Him." (Eph 1:4)
Out of all whom God knows would believe?
God chose only certain ones to become the Bride of Christ!
Therefore, He predestined us to be born during the Church age to have us believe in Christ.
It is not as if the Calvinists have only wrong information, and have been denied truth to correct themselves.
Calvinists can never admit when they are wrong.
They had become arrogantly elated and proud to think what they choose to believe makes them intellectually superior ones.
It's an elitist elation. Arrogance knows no bounds.
Are you still trying to talk sense to the nonsense? I'm sure it bounces right off them LOL
point of clarification ... "fools for God"
1 Corinthians 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty
.
The world~~Mankind
The world~~cosmic system.
The Lord Jesus Christ did not die or pray for the worldly cosmic system, He died and prays for the world(mankind.)
He is the WORLDS Savior(mankind.) He is not the WORLDS advocate( cosmic system.)
Well, the calvies most certainly challenge Gods Justice. Arguably, this is the quality/character of God that they most attack. Justice is salvation. Christ fulfilled God's Justice. And to say that salvation is anything less than equal opportunity and equal privilege is an attack on His perfect righteousness/justice.
I'm your view, God is at the mercy of your choice. God just left everything up to chance. Your God is too small.So God makes a decision that man must abide by and you see it is as man defining God?

It's not that I don't understand, it's just that you're wrong.So God makes a decision that man must abide by and you see it is as man defining God?
