Have you considered that Jesus referred to his disciples as "brothers?" Isn't the question, "How did you treat those who follow me?"
Only if you believe that those brothers will be around at the time of Jacob's trouble. I don't believe that. I believe we will be caught up to meet the Lord in the clouds and will not be part of the great tribulation. But that's another discussion.
 
Not all that are of Israel are true Israel. Some, if not many, will give into the antichrist.
So then are you saying all of 100% of whom it was promised in Matt 1:21 to save His people from their sins wont be saved ? Yes or No

Those not in Christ do not belong to Him. Those given to Him will come. Scripture
says so but then we are called degenerates for believing what the Bible says.

The ad homs just never stop coming because logical fallacies is the bulk of their opposition.

Jesus came to do the will of the Father duh when He spoke of Lk 19::10 that was doing the will of the Father. So again:

Did Jesus save 100% of the Lost He came to seek and to save, not one of them will be lost ! Yes or No
Your using mashed verses to make your own potato head casserole with cheese fairy sprinkles on top.

So did Jesus come to do the will of His Father or not ? Heb 10:7

7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

Jn 6:38

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will him that sent me.

Jn 5:30

"I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
 
You just said :
You asked me whether 100% of his people would saved. I previously told you that the priests would call for Israel to come to Jerusalem. Those who called on the name of the Lord were rescued. The rest were incinerated. The ones who are rescued, the survivors are his people.
 
Paul did not deny free will. He knew he was a slave to sin and that Christ set him free.

Paul did not remain being a slave to sin.

When Paul spoke of being a slave to sin?
He was speaking in a retrospective state of mind.
Paul was pointing back to a time in his life that he spoke of .

My pastor showed us this factor from how the Greek was structured.

(I just AI searched what I said.)

This is what it said.
Yes, when Paul spoke of being a "slave to sin," he was often looking back at his past.
He explained how, before knowing Christ, people do not control what they do.
Sin acts like a strict boss, and the person is the slave who must obey.
Grace and peace.....

All this is confusing. See Christ came too seek and to save that which was lost Per Lk 19:10 My question is did He seek and save 100% of them He came to seek and to save ? Yes or no I dont want to hear about no priest, and Incinerators.

The warning of guarding against false doctrine was directed to believers.
Why would the Bible warn unbelievers about such a thing?

Those believers who desire false teachings are to be classified as having spiritual degeneracy.
They distort Christ.

Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.” Luke 5 v 31 The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. Luke 19 v 10 For the Son of Man came to save the lost. Matthew 18 v 11 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. Matthew 9 v 13b, Mark 2 v 17b I will seek the lost, bring back the strays, bind up the broken, and strengthen the weak; but the sleek and strong I will destroy. Ezekiel 34 v 16

Yes....

But what should one do after they are saved?
Keep talking about how to get saved over, and over, and over again?

How does one grow up and mature in Christ?
 

Unconditional Election​

The doctrine of unconditional election is the second of the Five Points of Calvinism and is represented by the letter U in the acronym TULIP.

The doctrine of predestination, of which election is a part, has been called the heart of the gospel. This is true. The gospel is the good news of salvation. But those who are saved are those who have been predestined unto salvation, that is, the elect. The gospel declares the suffering and death of Jesus Christ for unworthy sinners. But Christ died only for those unworthy sinners who had been chosen by God. The gospel calls men to faith in Jesus Christ. But faith is worked only in the hearts of the elect. The gospel is the means to gather the church. But those who are members of the church, genuine church members, are the elect. There can be no doubt about it that the doctrine of predestination is at the very heart of the gospel message.

It is imperative that every believer have a good understanding of predestination. There is much ignorance and confusion over this doctrine in our day. Besides, there are numerous corruptions and denials of this doctrine in places where historically it was confessed. Many are abandoning the doctrine because they suppose that it is the invention of clever theologians but that it is not taught in the Scriptures. Others, who will admit that predestination is taught in the Bible, allege that it is a doctrine of little or no practical benefit for the church.

These people are seriously mistaken! We must see that the doctrine of election is clearly taught in the Word of God. And we must be convinced that it is a doctrine of the greatest practical value for Christians.

We echo the sentiments of John Calvin:

Let those roar at us who will. We will ever brighten forth, with all our power of language, the doctrine which we hold concerning the free election of God, seeing that it is now only by it that the faithful can understand how great the goodness of God is which effectually called them to salvation.... Now, if we are not really ashamed of the Gospel, we must of necessity acknowledge what is therein openly declared: that God by His eternal goodwill appointed those whom He pleased unto salvation, rejecting all the rest....
