Understanding God’s election

On the other hand, it is also written:

Rom 9:6b-7
... For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. 7 Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham's children. On the contrary....
NIV

God's grace cannot be resisted. Name one person Jesus raised from the dead who successfully resisted his power.

“He [Christ] came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (KJV).

Here the “power” to become sons of God is given only to those who already believe.

Nor can the relationship be achieved by means of any plan that might be devised by the “will of man" meaning >>> man was not in a position to devise the plan, only God could do that.
Rather, it is by means of a spiritual “birth” that such is accomplished and to experience the spiritual birth the call is to believe in the work of Christ Jesus on our behalf.

Every single Calvinist proof text offers no support for this dogma under contextual inspection.

It's the very thing John 3 is talking about. That's the substance of Jesus' discourse with Nicodemus.

Of course, a remnant can do that! You have a very low view of God's wisdom, power and purposes. How many times did a rag tag bunch of Israelites defeat much stronger armies when seizing the land from their enemies and he enemies of God?

James 4:6
But He gives us more grace. This is why it says: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

Proverbs 3:34
He mocks the mockers, but gives grace to the humble.

Luke 18:13
But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to raise his eyes toward heaven, but was beating his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’
14I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other one; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

2 Cor 6:2~~For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

John 16~~ 7But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. 8And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment: 9regarding sin, because they do not believe in Me;

Yes agree, the Gospel is about not being good enough not about how horrible a sinner one is.

Perhaps following what Jesus taught is more fulfilling than the opinion of Mr.Jackson.

right jesus came to save sinners and he loved them and called them to him. And we’ve all sinned…..

That wasn't my point, but I hope you can keep your pigs from flying away.

I think that is exactly what he is doing exegeting scripture correctly in context.

baptism ?

You have the right perspective there Mr. Pilgrimshope!! Yay!! 🥳

I think it begins with getting the foundation right, how one is saved and then build from there.

So Peter in 1 Pet 1 when addressing his audience the "elect" wasn't addressing flesh 'n' blood people but a plan?

That would be infinitely more appealing than what you have been offering.

Of course...an "honest" hearing in totally wicked, self-deceived heart in which there is no spiritual soundness. That would only make sense to the inmates of an insane asylum.

We already know what you believe .......and all your questions is not going to change those who actually possess the truth with regards to soteriology according to scripture.
