    Acts 2:38-39

    Why would John go to all of this trouble if "sprinkling or "pouring" would do? “And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.” John 3:23 (KJV 1900) AENON (PLACE) [Gk Ainon (Αἰνον)]. John the Baptist baptized at this...

    Bad decisions

    God controls every decision everyone ever made or will make. He does this by providing you with the reason you base your decision on. That's why we pray "lead us not into temptation".

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    There are many God cursed. Most of the Pharisees are among this group. That's why Jesus told them they could not believe because he did not die for them. How do you know God saved you? I know he saved me because I believe. Had he not paid for my sins on the cross I could not believe. Many lost...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    We can make it say anything we want. But scripture speaks of people cursed of God who will never be saved. Many of the Pharisees come up among them as blinded by God so they cannot believe or be saved. This passage confirms this identifying them as subjects Christ did not redeem. From eternity...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    He says he gave his life for the sheep. But the Pharisees did not believe, because he didn't give his life for them. What about the vessels of wrath fitted for destruction Paul speaks of? What about all that the Father gives to me shall come to me? Why did God kill everyone except Noah and his...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Do you deny what is revealed? Jn 10 cannot be any more clear. What about the reprobate cursed to damnation by God? These certainly make universal atonement untenable. "vessels of wrath fitted to destruction?" God hardens hearts so people cannot believe?

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    But God hates sinners. We were born of Adam as such. "World": Many definitions but few will fit. Here's an example: "God so loved the world" Jn.3:16 compare with "Love not the world" 1 Jn. 2:15. John defines the world as an organized system of rebellion. So Jn. 3:16 must mean God so loved the...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Did you know God hates sinners? “For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Neither shall evil dwell with thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.” Psalm 5:4–5 (KJV 1900)

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Why would Jesus waste his blood on those with no hope of salvation? Those cursed of God?

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Really... It's revealed now to many. Here's something to consider. Hardened Hearts “But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath...

    Looking for Job

    Yet I believe he framed God in his ignorance about the nature of the trial depicting Him as unjust by declaring his righteousness.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    What was the reason they did not believe? It was because Jesus didn't die for them according to Jn 10.

    Looking for Job

    What do you think? As I read Job, it appears that the more he proclaimed his innocence, the more he framed God as being unjust. His friends also had a twisted theology assuming Job must have deserved what he got. They were in a "gain is godliness" mode of thinking. In the end, I see Job in a...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    But the fact he did not die for them is the reason they do not believe.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    You have it backward. Free Will salvation believers would try to say "they were not his sheep because they did not believe". But Jesus reverses this. He says "they do not believe because they are not his sheep that he died for" How do I know I'm saved? Because I believe. Had Christ not died for...
