What Changed?

Wow! You must be a huge fan of Calvinism. That sounds like a direct quote from his doctrine—and that is just what it is—a doctrine of man, originating with John Calvin in the 16th century. That means this doctrine was not around in the first century when the apostles were living and the Bible was being written. It was 1500 years too late to be from God. God says in 2 Timothy 3;16 that the Bible is INSPIRED and COMPLETE. Thoroughly furnishing a man or equipping him with all he needs.
Ezekiel 18 makes it very clear that we do NOT inherit sin. Jesus used little children as examples of purity and said they are in the kingdom of heaven. Psalms 136:38 says children are “innocent.”
2 Thess. 2:14 says we are “called” to God by the GOSPEL; not by some mysterious force nor by the Holy Spirit directly—only indirectly as it was written by the Spirit. We are all “called” to God in the same way—by His word in the gospel. God is no respecter of persons. He calls us and saves us all the same way. No one has any advantage over the other.
Examples of this happening in the scriptures is in Acts 8; Phillip preached Jesus to the eunuch and he asked to be baptized. In Acts 16 Paul “spoke” the word of God to the jailer and he and his house were baptized immediately. 1 Cor. 10 Peter taught Cornelius the gospel and he and his house were baptized. In Acts2 Peter preached a sermon to the Jews and they asked “ What must we do?” In verse 37. In the New Testament, people who came to Christ heard the word of God first —it called them or drew them— and as a result, they obeyed the gospel. Just like 2 Thess. 2:14 says. The Bible is harmonious and does not contradict itself. We are either convinced that God is real and the Bible is true and we want to go to heaven and not spend eternity in hell so we obey God’s gospel OR we are unbelievers and we don’t care what God says and we choose NOT to obey. We have a choice and it is solely ours. We are not forced to obey God. He wants willing hearts to obey Him.

Matthew 16:15-17

There is no such verse.

Wow. Really? And yet that book was written by someone who made it quite plain that his calling was like none other.

Yes the boble is the one calling us to god word and god way its the main guide to heaven but unfortunatly only very few people in the world are following this sords
The majorty are following the democracy way whoch has a lot of evil ideas in it

Maybe what it says is that if a husband has long hair, it is a disgrace.

Perfect summation.
There is no special enabling/gnosis given to some and not others.

I think you made a little typo, it is Psalm 106:38

What God made plain to mankind were his attributes through the natural created order. Read v.20 carefully. God has revealed himself to mankind in three ways (although many theologians would disagree with me). He has revealed himself through Special Revelation, Natural Revelation and Intuitive Revelation. But none of these have anything to do per se with Effectual Grace or the Effectual Call of God.

Acts 2:17 (Joel 2:28)
According to you, this never happened, or happens. According to you, if this ever happened, it would be unfair of God.

Oh...so you're pulling a PT: When you come across a passage that militates against your version of the gospel, you just "cull" it out from the rest of scripture and conveniently label it "irrelevant to us today". Cute.

As far as Jn 1:9 goes, the the phrase "every man" is used in the limited sense. In fact, it's referring to the "world" generally (v.10); for every single person in the world is not enlightened by the Light since billions of people over the centuries have never even heard of Jesus Christ.

And while Jesus gives light to the world, the world does not receive it because it has not understood it.

John 1:5
5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
NIV

And if you had read a little further into John, you would have learned the reason for the darkness not understanding the Light.

John 3:19-20
19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
NIV


And what exactly is this "darkness" that has not understood the light? It's fallen mankind!

Eph 5:8
8 For you were ONCE darkness , but NOW you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light
NIV

So, how is anyone saved since the Darkness did not comprehend the light in order to be saved? Answer: Effectual Grace!

2 Cor 4:-6
6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness ," made his light shine in OUR hearts to give US the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
NIV

"Our hearts", "to give us", i.e. the elect --the saints to whom Paul was writing.

You can make scripture say anything you want when you conveniently ignore context as you have done.

As far as your Rom 10 passage goes, it's a non sequitur. Has nothing to do with the Light that has come into the world.

I think people need to realize we are all special people. What works for one person may not work on another person. God always addresses us as individuals..

Are you implying that God's Truth is as subjective as we are (i.e. individualistic)?

Guilt is one thing, but the guilt trip is an entirely different animal. The appeal to the stick is so overused in this environment that it only works to render the argument, regardless of its validity, ineffective.

That is the same flesh and blood nature that fights God
The two are at war flesh (first birth) to second birth, God's Spirit enlightens, time to see,, yet it takes asking God not me, you or anyone else, Amen to you see, God gave this to you, as Jesus said to Peter, when Peter said he was/is the Messiah. Jesus responded with only his Father could reveal that to him.

So you agree.
