    God still chooses.

    If there was nothing but arbitrary whims for basis of who God chooses, letting others perish in eternity, God would not be good, but God is good.

    God still chooses.

    Does God choose without basis? Is there not basis God does have for who God chooses? And why does God require of us that we choose? Does God require something that is meaningless? God does want all to be saved, God is not willing that any perish but that all come to repentance, that they will...

    God still chooses.

    Throughout the life of any believer who is in Christ, there are necessarily the times that forgiveness is asked for, and this is with repentance, which is needed. But with really being such believer who is in Christ, there is repentance at the start in coming to Christ from life of sin, which...

    Sitting long hours is an issue?

    My issues that affect me are why I just do what I can at home. So it is that I am a writer, and do all my writing from here. I go out for some things, that cannot be avoided, but I will avoid what is certain to make me really worse. I am thankful to God to know what things I can do for being...

    Sitting long hours is an issue?

    I had back pain, and found out about the scoliosis I have. I still had work since then that involved lifting and carrying fairly heavy things. I still wore a back brace safety belt, and I was thinking I would be alright. But now I feel the effect on my back much more, this much later in life. I...

    Sitting long hours is an issue?

    I can see how work that almost all of us find does not seem made well for human beings to do. Many of us have chores or needed postures that are really damaging to our health and wellbeing. Carrying things kind of heavy at some work I had would not have been good for my crooked spine...

    God still chooses.

    Right, I do mean repentance this way. Still, repentance is not a one time event, such that there are those thinking that believers can fall away from faith and so would lose salvation, while really believers do remain forgiven. Real repentance which God means in the Bible is a change itself, to...

    Mary - The Mother of Our Lord

    Original sin is a term alien to the Bible. It can be misleading, but it could correspond to the correct understanding that since the fall of humanity in the beginning, all human beings come into the world with a fallen nature, a nature to sin against the will of God for us. The incarnation of...

    God still chooses.

    Repentance is an essential thing, with which there is coming to Christ in faith for salvation and through him being restored to Yahweh God. There are such who just come to superficial faith, that is confessed, without the repentance, who then would be ones Christ would say, "I never knew you"...

    God still chooses.

    Context is really always needed for interpreting any meaning of passages, certainly when doctrine would be made of it. This applies to 2 Peter 3:9. Though the context involves other things, the context has nothing at all to define the passage not meaning it is of all people, and that it does...

    Mary - The Mother of Our Lord

    I don't know anyone, and it really would not be me, that would suggest that Mary Jesus' mother was forgettable, unwilling, or simply a baby factory, such as pro-abortion people like to say pro-life people have as a view of pregnant women, nor are any ignoring her. Saying she was not continually...

    The Simple Original Apostolic Gospel

    If humanity remained sinless from creation, which God provided the opportunity for, Jesus Christ the Son of God, the incarnation of the Word (Logos) with God who is God, though as it is came to humanity always without sin, and lived a sinless life, died sinless, and rose again, would stil come...

    The Simple Original Apostolic Gospel

    Bible passages about repentance and salvation address these things only for human people, who are all a fallen race. These are not addressed to animals nor to angels. Animals do not have capacity for moral choices human people do, and are innocent of sins that we have. They suffer in this world...

    The Simple Original Apostolic Gospel

    That creation came from God the Creator with perfect design has bearing on our need for a model of living. It was the way things were meant to last, though God was not surprised and took the fall of humanity into sin and the resulting growing curse into account with the plan for redemption with...

    The Simple Original Apostolic Gospel

    It is likely, and quite certain, as Yahweh God, the perfect Creator, made creation with the perfect design, and the finiteness perceived is since the fall and the curse in creation from our sinful choices, to the creation we are in, in light of what is shown in scriptures, especially in Romans...

    Mary - The Mother of Our Lord

    Mary was the most pleasing to God for Christ to be born to, but none were sinless, she needed the savior too.

    The Simple Original Apostolic Gospel

    That thinking that this universe will come to that is excluding God, God as Creator of everything is certainly with power to keep any of it from coming to that, and since God is appealed to for a whole other universe that would not come to that, there is no great reason to doubt God would...

    Absent fruits signal the absence of faith

    We are without excuse, believers are to have spiritual fruit showing, which still do not show from many among us more than anyone in the surrounding culture.

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    Yet you did, and it is dishonest that you say that you did not, I showed the quote of you even where I said you did. "Once saved always saved" is the eternal security, it is a false dichotomy if you are saying these are not the same. The promise that believers have eternal life shown in...

    Australia: PM sets election date

    Still there are those with the blind acceptance. And for what? For support against abortion? Trusting anyone at all in their immorality for anything like that is without any good basis. https://friedmanoftheplains.com/donald-trump-admits-to-paying-for-abortion-1c4ae9832770
