Saul once wasn't a servant, but he found out that he was an Elect Saint of God and God called him Paul. So, yeah Saul the Jew didn't know that he was an Elect Saint of God, until the Lord revealed it to him and he became Saint Paul the Christian guy
Would you like to see the bill of sale. I can scan the receipt and send you a copy, if you don't believe it's mine. I legally own it
Jesus legally owns his life in all men because its his life.
Before the fall the light of all men went out by the power of death in his life, but his life still remained in all men
In the beginning the light of all men which was the life of Jesus was created in Adam in heaven. All mankind before the fall.
John 1
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made
The world did not recognise him
Because the world had there lights puts out by the power of his death in his life.
John 1 true light of all men was coming to the world
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him
Jesus has never left the world.
John 1
10 He was in the world, and though the world the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him
He was in you before you where saved
The world did not recognise him
Again, my Bible doesn't say there was a pre Adamic race of Neanderthals. I would have a look at other bible translations as I don't think you'll find that nonsense in any of the other translations.
There was only one man in existence before the fall, so you're way off the mark bro
Genesis 1 God created all mankind in his image in Adam in heaven
Then he said go and fill the earth Adam.
Then he formed the earthly man out of dust.
Then he put in Adam the earthly man is heavenly spirit whom he had already blessed in heaven with his life, which was to be the life of all mankind
Light coming into the world is useless to those who do not recognize it. Here we go a quick bible lesson, the word "world" in that verse refers to the non elect, unbelievers and the reprobate.
You always need to look for the context of every word. Most people think of the globe when they hear the word world, but you and I know better my friend.
Your interpretation of that verse is absolutely wrong. The fact is Jesus was only on the earth for 33 years. He was never here before or after, but He will come back one day. Again I don't know if it's that NIV translation or something else but what you said it totally wrong
Jesu never created all mankind, He created Adam and Eve and the rest is history. You can't change what God has clearly said
It really is! It's like God is not only cruel enough to create a people to murder, but then He mocks them time and again.
No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.
Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,
The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
All kinds of verses and yet they cannot obey! How cruel if God were really like that? Never in the Bible does it say a person cannot repent, it says they WILL NOT repent. Big difference.
Right, that means everything from the Holocaust to 9/11 or the abuse of a child is all God's will. Pretty sick when you think about it.
The "gospel" of Calvin is offensive and heresy. That God would create a people to murder. A people that are doomed, who cannot be saved. Not that they will not, but they cannot. Just an evil belief altogether. I spent over 21yrs in evangelism, traveling miles from the comfort of my home to tell people that Jesus saves and delivers. That there is hope and that is in Christ. As far as Calvinists are concerned I'd have done as much good if I had shot myself in the foot. I have missionary friends that were able to go much farther than I was able to to bring the world to other nations. How selfish must one be to believe Jesus is just for them and no one else. If Calvin made it to heaven he has a lot to answer for.
Not correct Charlie,..obviously your reading but obviously your not dwelling.
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image,
Then Jesus blessed Adam and said go and fill the earth with my life.
Life from life
Jesus has never left the earth world
John 1 Jesus was in the world,.that means you and I but we did not recognise him.
What does mankind mean in your bible, in my bible it means mankind not animal kind. It's just describing the species, not 8 billion of them
God is a God of the living.
Life from his life.
First life was created in heaven before life was re created on earth.
Gen 1
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
