Saying that we have no will to choose is determinism, which is not found in the Scriptures. The ability to choose is found there and is a part of man's ability to either accept or reject the gift of God, salvation. How do you explain the use of the word choose? Choose 'this day' whom you...

I don't see a contradiction. If you do please explain to me. From the Scriptures But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of...

My educated guess would be that We are chosen in Him from the foundation of the world yet our names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life until we place our trust in Jesus Christ. That is when I believe our names are written there. I would like to add that I believe that all born into the...

I think John said what would happen. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the...

Doing good works is a result of salvation not a means to it. What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “ Abraham believed...

My reference was to New Testament believers not just people who saw Jesus. A lot had seen his face yet did not believe. Justification is a matter of faith, trust in the finished work of Christ. Besides Jesus said that the least in the kingdom was greater. Not just any old person. Got it yet...

That statement made by Jesus is a reference to the ones who have seen the Messiah beings greater in that they saw what the Old Testament saints did not see, the fulfillment of their prophecies. Not greater in the sense of being better rather more privileged. Honored to have seen the...

The difference is that during the Old Testament times before the Messiah arrived the promise of a redeemer was in their Law Prophets and Writings. We have the benefit of being born after the arrival of Messiah. The promise was made in Eden and fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Sent from my iPhone...

Those saved in Old Testament times had been looking forward to the Cross of Christ. Those saved in New Testament times look back to Cross. The crucifixion was necessary because “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin “ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You need to keep Scriptures in their context and stop making your own pretext. When you take part of Scripture as MoreCoffee had done, it distorts the meaning of the passage referred to. “God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance “ Sent from my iPhone...

Salvation cannot be lost or forfeited. Jesus said so. John 10:27-29 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29*My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than...

According to Romans 1 God did not make gay people. Romans 1:21-27 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory...
