    Understanding God’s election

    Romans 5:10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. Jesus was the messiah and all the Patriarchs were seeking the messiah, even Adam. Abraham looked forward to Jesus. John 8:56 Your...

    You can also add, why did the fruit of the tree of knowledge look so good?

    Understanding God’s election

    I agree, having the wiggly one as an advisor to Eve seems to be a stacked deck?

    Understanding God’s election

    But Abraham and Sarah were decidedly imperfect. They disobeyed, made mistakes, questioned God, and even laughed at God. Still, God chose to bless them in spite of this. No one is righteous.

    Adam was not perfect but merely good. Is good, good enough?

    Understanding God’s election

    Mankind was created as flesh and blood and that represents a problem. Can flesh and blood eat from the the tree of life and live for ever? An important question then persists. How come we ate from the wrong tree? Was Adam's mistake in choosing the wrong fruit or was the tree of life not...

    Eve's punishment was eternal she had to marry a selfish brute called man. I have a ton of sympathy for women and especially Christian women. I have been a male for too long and I am not impressed.

    Understanding God’s election

    For a few centuries they were corrupting churches. Given the Jews knew the Old Testament and the Gentiles knew nothing. The Jews had a huge advantage over the Gentiles. The influence of the Jews over the Gentiles declined over time. Probably not for over a millennia now. I believe the...

    Understanding God’s election

    The Jews pursued Jesus and they were unable to execute Him because of Roman law. The Jews would have executed Jesus in a blink of the eye, if they could have. In Paul's day the Jews were the enemy of the gospel. 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of the...

    Understanding God’s election

    My point was that something died, that is, death was introduced. How death itself plays out is a manifold problem to deal with. None of us are in the garden now as we are in a fierce battle both within, the flesh and the Spirit. And in a spiritual battle against the forces of darkness. All I...

    Understanding God’s election

    Of course, the text was written by Jews. The Jews dominated the Old Testament and the Gentiles have a minor role in the new. The New Testament is basically the fulfillment of the Old Testament. We need a Gentile author in the New Testament and I nominate myself, vote for me! You want a...

    Understanding God’s election

    Two distinct nations and one was chosen and the other was not. One nation knew God and the other did not know God. The covenants belonged to one nation and not the other. The Gentiles were grafted in but the Jews already occupied that place. Once the Jews crucified their creator everything...

    Understanding God’s election

    Paul explains the gospel in 1 Corinthians 15. The gospel concerns the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Who and how God saves anyone is not the gospel, more so, an attempt to explain election. We know definitely that John the Baptist was predestined but Jesus said that John the Baptist...

    The problem you have is a reading and comprehension problem. The N.T is explaining a difference between the covenant of law and the covenant of the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:3 Revealing yourselves, that you are a letter of Christ, delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the...

    The Gospels and the Mystery

    Most folk cannot accept that Jesus was only sent to the Jews. How are they going to read and understand that the letters were addressed to different audiences? I don't think the church ever read the scripture properly.

    This is what you stated. What you wrote is utterly wrong. The 10 commandments (the law) does not set you free from sin. The 10 commandments only grant you the knowledge of your sinfulness. The 10 commandments do not grant any righteousness they only condemn. The 10 commandments do not...

    You and I do not read the two chapters of Romans 2,3 the same way. Paul is talking to the Jews and explaining the Jewish position, it is not about the Gentiles. Romans 2:24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written. Paul is not talking to...
