I suppose derailing the thread with useless incoherent noise and clutter could be considered useful for the Calvinists. Smothering the truth of free will by any means available?

honestly blue blue be dooo acting like Betty boo.

We can see clearly that you are serious about your Bible study.

This is what keeps running through my mind when I read some of your flippant, superficial posts...


Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, were killed by God for offering unauthorized fire before Him.....

They were having fun.
They thought it was not something serious.

God is not going to strike you dead.
For He already sees you as dead as long as you keep glorying in your flesh about spiritual matters.

He has decreed you to be a loser.

Because, he knows your heart is not with Him.
He decreed that we witness to your folly.

He decreed also Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, who thought like you do.

You are getting attention, sir.
For that is what your sin nature craves.

That is what my Lord is showing me about you...

Deuteronomy 7 v 2 "and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you to defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy." The command to devote to destruction, or "herem," involves the total annihilation of the Canaanite peoples and their religious practices. This is not merely a military strategy but a theological mandate to purify the land from idolatry and moral corruption (Deuteronomy 20 v 16-18). The cultural context of the Canaanites included practices such as child sacrifice and temple prostitution, which were abominations to the LORD (Leviticus 18 v 24-30). This command foreshadows the ultimate judgment of sin and evil, pointing to the eschatological destruction of all that opposes God (Revelation 19 v 11-21). It also serves as a type of Christ's victory over sin and death, where He completely destroys the power of the enemy (1 Corinthians ch 15 v 24-26). from Biblehub

My mum told me that his people could show compassion and affection, so the lord God was scared if they did show them mercy it would further lead to the bad people depressing the truth 😊

Show mercy? When you commit a crime of being anti-mercy in what you do?

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Wonder why you are not getting mercy?

So you know better?

And, God does not get scared of anything.

You do not know what you are talking about.
No wonder you are a Calvie.
 
WARNING.

Too many Jordon posts appearing all of a sudden.

He is getting the attention he craves...

:unsure: .... Should have left him with the babysitter.

Jordon... you are contributing minus... not zero, to any Bible discussion.
You would have been escorted to the door and told not to come back.

Rebelliousness is as the sin of witchcraft. 1 Samuel 15:23.
