Every human that ever lived will be raise up again at the last day. Jesu bought them all with His blood. he will raise them all and judge them all. Those who refused to trust Him will be condemned. Those who trusted in Him will be glorified.

That verse does not say only the elect will be raised on the last day.
This isn't grace...it's works salvation.

If hell is their home, they cannot have been saved. So when it is spoken of being bought, this would be the testimony of the false teachers, who would actually be denying this by their actions. This is how you know they are false teachers.
I'm not changing anything brother. I am simple putting down what it says. It says they were bought, and they were false teachers.


They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves


There is security for believers. This is not so because believers are so faithful, but that God is faithful. He keeps His own. No one can take them out of Jesus' hand, or the Father's.


Agreed, no one can, but you can leave of your own accord. We are back around the circle to free will again. These were saved, bought, denied the Lord and ended up in hell.


I'll grant you that a simple reading of the verses seems to suggest as you say,
Thank you. :)

but one would have to deny the faithfulness of God if the verses mean as you say.
Not at all! You can have a spouse that is faithful as the day is long, but the other unfaithful. They can walk away from the marriage even though the other spouse continues to remain faithful. Our being unfaithful doesn't change that He is always faithful. We can walk away. God doesn't force us to stay in a relationship with Him.


It would mean something or someone could, in this case a false preacher, could separate a believer from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. Romans 8 goes to great lengths to make the point that this is not possible.
Perhaps ask yourself this: how does someone in Christ get out of Christ, and how does someone become unborn again?
The same way one becomes unmarried.

Galatians 5:4. This verse says, “You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.”

James wrote, “Brethren, if anyone among James wrote, “Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.”

2 Peter 2:20-22. It says, “For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: ‘A dog returns to his own vomit,’ and, ‘a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.’”

1 John “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”


Hebrews 3:12. “Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God.”

I certainly understand what you’re saying. …and I’m at a loss; I don’t understand it. Right now, I’m studying

I have done that a lot since coming to CC. lol It's a good thing, it's helped me be more sure in what I believe.

They only gain up like they have on you because they know they're WRONG!
Everyone knows what that verse plainly claims. And remember 1 thing:
8 ....... and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Do not budge! I am off to cover the 11 AM service in about 20 minutes and will help when I return.

Yes, it is abundantly clear, and it isn't what you say. Those whom Christ paid for (bought) must be saved or He is not the Saviour.
But Christ is the Saviour, and so they will be saved - it's just as simple as that.

Once again, I am not adding to the Scripture. I have put word for word what it says. And you cannot deny what it says.

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.

Very simple.

You need to read Romans 9 again. Can not the Potter do whatever He wants to do with His clay?

God is not a murder. He did not create a people for Him to destroy. Like I said with a toy factory, why would they make broken toys on purpose. It makes no sense.

That scripture supports neither assumption. Your assumptions are driving your understanding of that text.
Well no, not assumptions but rather, understanding.

"But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;

So how does one separate themselves from the love of God in Christ Jesus?
How does one become unborn again?
How does one pluck themselves from the hand of the Father or Son?
How is eternal life eternal if it can exist then not exist?

And I don't mean this to be insulting, but you mention what it says as evidence. But in Joshua it says that God fulfilled the land promises to Israel. That is the plain reading of the verse. Yet you still believe God has not fulfilled those promises. Someone who holds this position should be a little more open to explanations that don't fit a simple reading of scripture.

By continually stating that you believe God desires absolutely everyone to be saved, you are saying
1 Timothy 2:4
Who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.


2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.


John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.


Ezekiel 33:11
Say to them, As I live, declares the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways, for why will you die, O house of Israel?


Ezekiel 18:32
For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; so turn, and live.”

1 Timothy 2:3-4
This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.


1 Timothy 4:10
For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe. The Savior of all, but especially those who believe.


I didn't write the verses. This isn't what I think. It isn't opinion. And it's not all the verses either.

Right. God saves those who follow Jesus. Too bad that not everyone will believe in Him.

Well it's very simple. Show me the map where Israel received all the land promised. It's just a simple fact of history. God fulfilled the promise but Joshua never took all the land promised. So I believe it's a future happening.

But with this verse it is plain as day. These prophets were saved then they were false prophets, spreading lies.

Funny how your theology is 100% Arminian, yet you say you don't know what it is. Well now you know, just refer to your private interpretation and you'll find Arminius was the one who invented it.

I believe you would benefit greatly by reading this short summary of what Calvinism and Arminianism is. It will equip you with the facts so you'll be able to make an informed decision about which of the two is biblically correct.

https://michaelincontext.com/define-reformed-calvinism-arminianism/
I have no interest in peoples labels it’s not biblical what I believe is written on scripture it doesn’t matter if someone labels me lol what difference does that make ?

a instead of studying theology I’ve spent my life studying the bible which i believe to be Gods true word

aid you have an issue with anything I say or believe I’ll show you where it’s written in the Bible , then you can create the label for it if you wish

a and yeah I have no clue what Arminianism or whatever is , I’ve i te tribally acoided for 70 years getting pulled into to the worldly theology argument the “ which denomination is the true one “ debate all that stuff I’ve intentionally avoided like the plague

whatever I say is because I’ve read it in the Bible , now that doesn’t mean what I say is right or that I understand everything I read in the Bible or that anyone else is wrong who disagrees with me lol my point is only that whatever I believe is in the Bible pretty plainly

ive been labeled twenty different denominations and theology names in my time and never bothered to look o to a single label or what it meant but I have studied the gospel and prayed a lot about it studied the law and prophets asked the lord to help me learn I have studied the apostles writings a bit and tried to learn again prayerfully with patience

whatever label you want to out on that isnt really relevant to me anyways , the onot label I accept is a disciple of Jesus Christ . A poor and weak and Imperfect disciple I confess but I don’t know anything about Arminianism or probably the rest of the theological labels you’ve investigated that’s a subject I know zero about

actually there’s one “ denomination “ that I did discuss for a time with because hey would t stop coming to my door lol so I do know a bit about Mormonism and what they believe but of course I’m not a Mormon you would t hear me teaching most of what they think . But only the things that are in the Bible that they believe I have agreement with them on that issue like I do with anyone else no matter the denominational label who believes the e same things in the Bible

It's about time ye accept @Charlie_2024 what makes you think he doesn't accept.

And it's not right to say thank God I'm not like that man 😊

It does say that. It says, "all of which he hath given me".
To be raised up, biblically speaking, is to be given eternal life. Consider that verse in conjunction with these verses:

[2Co 4:14-15 KJV]
14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present [us] with you.
15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

[Jhn 6:40 KJV] 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
You are wrong. John 5:28-29 Marvel not at this for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.

Jesus atoned for all and bought all and has been given all and raises all from the dead an judges all.

You don’t believe Romans 8:28-30 applies to you then?
I believe Romans 8:28-30. But I read Romans 8:28-30 in context, and I don't come to Romans 8:28-30 with your TULIP presuppositions and impose TULIP onto the text.
