They were under the law and knew very little about the expected New Covenant. But the few born-agains among them were saved.

None can believe and repent but the elect from the ends of the earth. “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:37 (KJV 1900)

Judas? Paul speaks of "vessels of wrath fitted for destruction". False teachers? “...There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.” 1 John 5:16 (KJV 1900)

My approach might be offensive to most, but I know that all whom the Father gives to Christ will come to him. So I cannot prevent the salvation of any God chose for that purpose. The L in Tulip is something I experienced supernaturally and is indelibly imprinted in my heart. Following a job...

I don't understand what you are getting at.

How much time did Jesus spend asking questions? Are you condemning him for doing so? 307 questions In the Gospels Jesus asks many more questions than he answers. To be precise, Jesus asks 307 questions. He is asked 183 of which he only answers 3. Asking questions was central to Jesus' life...

Jesus died only for the elect or all would be saved. To say he only made it possible for the self-righteous to save themselves is not Christianity. It's Pelagianism.

I do not like to debate but to share the treasures God shares with me. It would be good if others would share the joy.

Only Israel has salvation. All Gentiles were damned until God fulfilled the promise to Abraham that included Gentiles. But even this was limited. Only believing Jews and believing Gentiles make up Israel today. All of the broken-off and unbelievers are damned. Jesus is Israel personified in the...

What about the world that perished outside of Israel? Jesus said, "salvation is of the Jews". That's why Paul says God grafted believing Gentiles into the places of the unbelieving Jews whom God broke off. Did He die for them or anyone not appointed membership in Israel?

Election limits the atonement to the elect.

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...

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...

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...

It says he gave his life for = died for.

Please explain. Who are you targeting?

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?

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...

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)

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