    Agreed, I have not found such a thing. But this...Adam covered his transgressions with fig leaves and hiding from God. Job 31:33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:

    Understanding God’s election

    Universally, the Lord died for everyone. Universally, not everyone has believed the gospel. Obviously, the “specially” are the ones out of the whole who have believed. 1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of...

    Understanding God’s election

    Why would you say that? Everyone gets saved? God’s will is for everyone to be saved, he shed his blood for everyone to be saved, but sadly, not everyone is saved. God doesn’t violate man’s freedom to make him believe. Did God tell Adam to not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and...
