Where did I say anything was wrong? Nothing was wrong in what I said. Why do you protest?
Cannot stand the garbage free willers spout? Cannot say I blame you. Your mealy mouth does not serve you.
The Pharisee, having stood, was praying toward himself thus: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the rest of the men—swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers—or even like this non-calvinist
First we gonna sing a little, then we gonna paint by numbers then we gonna sing again then we gonna spew hatred at others.
bizarre imo

Paul goes onto tell those Corinthians believers that they cannot receive his teachings because they are carnal. Do they have the Spirit? Absolutely, but the context is deep things of God.
These sheep nations are not in Christ. These nations will be on earth at the time of Jacob's trouble. They give aid to Israel and will be ushered into the earthly kingdom.
Yes, probably Gentile nations but not Gentiles who are part of the body of Christ, the church. The church has been gathered away by this point. These are nations who give aid to Israel during the time of Jacob's trouble on earth.
All day long the Lord stretched out his hand to a disobedient and gainsaying people. Did the Lord fail in his attempt? You're looking at this thing all wrong as if it's a pass or fail thing. You're trying to have someone admit God failed. It's not God who failed, but man's choice.
Even David, a man after God's own heart, was not spared the rod of God when he sinned by numbering the fighting men.
So why do people come on here and think it's ok to rage at others who believe in Christ because there is a difference in
understanding?
Disagreement is going to happen and things do get a little hot in a Calvin.anti-Calvin thread, but to practically curse
at those you disagree with and say they hate God and hate the truth and other similar rant type comments, shows little
growth as a follower of Christ. Attacking people from behind pictures and so called worship songs created by the same
person who is ranting, sounds like a person with borderline personality imo.
I mean if you just cannot discuss the topic but have to constantly revert to attacking people, maybe you should check
yourself because if you think you are some kind of example to other Christians or worse, non-believers, you are fooling
yourself.
The Holy Spirit is not behind such things and you are deceived if you think He is.
So you believe those blessed of the Father to inherit the kingdom prepared for them from
the foundation of the world are not His sheep? Wow. Whatever dude. You have very much
strayed from the Truth of Scriptures, as have most FWers, and I am not arguing that you are
not a sheep. I know Who my Shepherd is. I have heard His voice; He is the Overseer of my soul.
Those given to Jesus come to Him. I don't see any ifs or maybes in that verse.
But these FWers call straight Scriptures false teachings.
They love their lies.
Okay then He didn't come to seek and to save all humanity, because a large portion of humanity are lost in their sins, which will be witnessed at Judgment Rev 20:12-15
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 ;And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
As I have mentionned before, threads on the subject matter of this one, have been prevalent in this forum for years. I was doing a
little looking back and here is a response from someone in a thread from 2019 that I thought was reasonable and if I understood it, he actually does believe in predestination as in Calvinism, but does he go ballistic? No....anyway you can read it if you want
I think you hit the nail on the head. Our perspectives and experiences often lead us to
the place we are at in terms of outlook. And as you say, I think both are true, because
they reflect certain people and certain situations. post 40
I witnessed years ago to one lady, and she just opened up to the Lord and accepted Him.
It was like knocking on a door. I also showed a christian film to 40 odd people at a time,
and preached at the end. This sowed a seed that lead to a mini revival, because the word
spoke in the right way. I have read of revivals where everyone comes to faith with great
conviction, yet this is quite rare.
And here on cc I would have expected encouragement to walk in the ways of Jesus and to
share love and truth of His word, yet I find some pick fights, want to stamp out and ban
such expressions, which is so odd, considering this is just Jesus's word. The pharisees were
so close to getting it right, yet they killed Jesus. I get the feeling some would similarly do
the same to me if they could, lol. They certainly get angry enough. And this does not worry
them, that so much sin could erupt from talking about Gods word and His plain commands.
Aim for perfection as you follow Christ Jesus - - - no condemnation who in Christ Jesus.. live according to the Spirit.

So if I was to ask you to answer that question about Lk 19:10 what would you say ? Did He seek and save 100% of them He came to seek and to save ? Yes or No
His Word is sent forth and accomplishes what God desires it to. So that has to be a yes.
See how easy that was, you the only one who gave a straight logical response, Thanks
