I could be wrong but is it you who first quoted this verse, if its for Israel only why did you...
Magenta tour accusations are false me against Jesus? all I said was accompanied by scripture, obviously you have not read the one provided think there is no point for us to continue this discussion. you clearly will not listen . so be it.
I didn't say it was for Israel only. I said it was written to Israel and the application is for all.
The promise itself is the new covenant promise of God to indwell believers with His Spirit. So is the promise of a new heart and spirit.
Just about every cult in the world believes those historical facts, and they cant tell you who Jesus Christ
The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians ch 2 v 14
The sheep hear because they know his voice and respond in kind.
"Hatred of God" strikes me as the proverbial "precious" in this case. That is, institutionalized hatred so-called "sanctioned" by God. And, come to think of it, unlike the OT, Jesus doesn't speak any permission to hate anyone, whatsoever, in the NT.
I am sure it varies according to individual temperaments, level of indoctrination and biblical literacy.
The soteriology you clearly explained in your post # 385 is correct .... it is true to the revealed character of God in Christ.
Calvinism, lite or full
>harms the believer,
>harms the character of God and
>harms the truth of the Good News of Christ Jesus.
Seems to me a follower of Christ who is in Him and He in them would want no part of such a doctrine.
Magenta here is the scripture that you say does not exist about choice, My ""Ilk"" , to use the term you used against me knows this;
I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed. (Deuteronomy 30:19, ASV) = choice, free will
See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil. (Deuteronomy 30:15, ASV) = choice, free will
If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine... (John 7:17, ASV) = choice, free will
Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28, ASV) = choice, free will
And if it seem evil unto you to serve Jehovah, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah. (Joshua 24:15, ASV) = choice and free will
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah: wherefore turn yourselves, and live.(Ezekiel 18:32, ASV) = choice and free will
choice is all over the place in the Holy Bible, do not let false doctrine trick you. your public shaming will not work on me, does not intimidate me. I care only for the truth as spoken by God and do not care for the doctrine of men.
That's it! I'm certainly convinced. It is the bearing of the ring of power! Ah yes, the power to freely hate, at last!
I doubt any of them will be moved towards the truth (this has been ongoing for years) but I do feel it is imperative to defend God's truth.
Just know you may feel like this...
If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself. (John 7:17, ASV)
Ye will not come to me, that ye may have life. (John 5:40, ASV)
Do not Forget we have now access to the Holy Spirit God sends us to help us and Guide us that is now the case but was not before.
yes I do feel like this horse is dead, lol, and I did provide scripture and I have done what was needed on this thread, I have learned from Jesus whom I follow that if they do not receive his words that we should let them be. This is probably one of the last post on this thread, I have done what I could and I believe it is time for me to move on. Some will be pleased....
Blessings!
I would say the sheep hear because their ears are circumcised. Same as?
The blind see because their eyes were opened, and not by themselves.
Centuries before Jesus’s ministry, the prophet Isaiah foretold that the Messiah would
open the eyes of the blind. Jesus directly quoted these scriptures when announcing the
start of His ministry, offering physical and spiritual restoration. The natural man is blinded.
Spiritual blindness is the default human condition, where worldly wisdom leaves people
unable to perceive spiritual truth and is called foolishness by God...
Yes, he made the salvation plan. And offered Grace to ALL.........Not just to you And the calvies.
GRACE through faith.....To ALL.
I have never seen even so much as one Scripture articulating the free will of the natural man.
Meanwhile free willers contradict and deny what the Bible explicitly articulates of the natural
man and repeatedly ascribes to him qualities and characteristics true only of the spiritual man.
