Predestinated by God. First there is none righteous not one. Yes we read head watched still do very evil people in this world that did things God had no hand in. Like David going after another man killed him.. or some battles .. just killed .. that word.. killed bad guys just bad people right? What because GOD is with us its ok? Just saying again.. there is none righteous not one. All the evil one can do vs one that does none they are no different to GOD. We are righteous in right standing with Him because we believe in trust in Yeshua/Christ Jesus amen. We forget He looks at the heart.

And then one has to know that you know that you know Jesus Christ came in the flesh died on the cross for the sin of the world for you.. and was buried rose the 3rd day and is the only way to the Father. What its ok to reject the Catholics view of all this or the Mormons or STA or JW or like some said here Calv (doctrines of demons) but.. ooh if I tell you JESUS is lord and you reject what I say.. sorry your (forgive me Father) lost forever? Man do I have power! And yet each one here "knows" to some extent you know and have the real truth and you interpret His word correct no? :)

If we read Corth all they were doing and then at the end of Corth about Christ coming they all go.. he never exclude any of them at all. What there was like 10 things they were doing wrong yet .. still would go up. Pfft do you know Yeshua/Christ Jesus? Do you know why I say it like that? Christ Jesus? :) So if you do.. that's what matters. I am not required to adhere to listen to ..to obey some believer some Christian group. Yeah He pulls draws His creation to Him. Wanna cling to Predestinated ...I can still see them on Youtube decades ago how they were the real believes the real called and your not. Haha.. ok praise GOD. I hold on to..

For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
 
Matthew 7:23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

Romans 8:29
For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren.
It says God is the Alpha and Omega which He knows how everything will end up. That's what prophecy means, foreknowing the future.
 
Jesus died for everyone so that anyone can get saved by free will choice.

Your blatant false statement shows you don't know or love Jesus. Plus you're trying to convince others of this lie.

Do you not realize that the Lord Jesus is RIGHT HERE seeing you lie about Him? There are terrible consequences for you if you keeping lying about Him to other people.

All your trolling is not worth those consequences!

Jesus didn't shed His blood for hell. Jesus didn't shed His blood for unrepentant sinners.
 
Jesus didn't shed His blood for hell. Jesus didn't shed His blood for unrepentant sinners.
Rom. 5:8- But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
 
Jesus didn't shed His blood for unrepentant sinners.
Actually, He did, because each of us was an "unrepentant sinner" when He died for us, as were Paul, Lydia, Apollos, Phoebe, and millions of others.

We were given freewill which means our own desires to do what pleases us. Like if God commands us to repent, but if we don't have it in us to repent, that we will be unable to have any remorse. Like Pharaoh heart was harden by God. But he didn't resist like a sinner never resisted from sinning.
Like Abraham had the choice to refused to sacrifice his son. But he chooses to listen to God because he had the desire of obedience in him like Joshua and Caleb.

God put into place certain people that will only do what He expect them to do. like He knew satan will punish Job for Him. Job was supposed to have his children put to death for their sin according to the law. But God understood why Job didn't, but God's will must be done.
And so, God saw satan pacing the floor like a roaring lion seeking to devour someone. And like it says, the good and the bad both does God's will

Exodus 7:3
But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I multiply my signs and wonders in Egypt,

Job 1:5
When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.

Well it's not all bad as God says all are called as nobody is without excuse, 🙂

Then he says few are chosen

Well if you divide a few into the billions of people that already existed with a estimate that clever people believe is near accurate off a 120 billion people,

The current count in heaven could be 3.6 billion people, and by time the Gods work is over it could reach 40 billion people.
 
Why do you believe the elect do not believe Jesus Christ.



Common misunderstandings

❌ “Elect” means God arbitrarily picks some and damns others

✔️ The word itself does not say that



❌ “Elect” means chosen without conditions

✔️ The word does not specify conditions either way



❌ “Elect” means irresistible salvation

✔️ That idea comes from later theological systems, not from the Greek word itself


Plain-language definition:

A faithful, neutral rendering would be:
“Those whom God has chosen for Himself.”
Anything more detailed than that comes from context, not the word alone.

God does not choose the Heretics as they damn themselves to hell.
