Okay. Thx. :)

…but Jesus came and died— The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! - John 1:29

…but what about this biblical truth? Everyone must make a choice … "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; "that you may love the LORD your God...

It seems to me that the writing is clearly intended to be salvific. The writing is personalized and offered as an invitation. Christ will tenderly enter in if anyone opens the door of their heart to Him. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will...

No free will then? ….but what about about this one? "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. - Revelation 3:20

This I know. God loves both His election and those to whom He gave free will. Let’s not downplay free will; even Jesus in His perfect election used His own free will: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure. Then I said, 'Behold, I have come—In the volume of the book it...

Welcome, Sherry and may God bless you. He is making you a promise right now:

but also this: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. - Proverbs 9:10

How were you saved? I mean, did you hear the Gospel? Did you make a choice to accept Jesus out of your own free-willing heart?

Good morning, Cameron. Maybe it’s not a principle. Eternity past? As in ”before the foundation of the world?” Was there another time that existed before the one we’re living in now in which God chose His Elect? Wasn’t Lucifer and the fallen angels cast down to the earth because of their...

Hello, @Rufus — I’m wondering about something. So what happens to those who were not chosen? I mean why is it that we evangelize? If they hear the gospel and genuinely accept it, can they be saved?

Hey Cameron. I believe in election … and I believe in free will. Here’s just one example: Here we have election: Ephesians 1:4-6: According as he hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: Having predestinated us...

The Bible teaches election, yes—but not Calvinism.

Are you seriously saying that Calvinism is the Gospel? Surely not …

Well, it’s too systematic for my taste. There doesn’t seem to be much understanding.

Why would a Christian be ashamed of a spiritual circumcision? Is this the only subject you know anything about?

Huh? Where are you getting your ideas from?

I’ve heard about a condition called Raynaud syndrome where the hands and fingers can get very cold and turn blue-ish. Have you heard of it? God bless you and your mom.

I agree, and I like your summary very much. God wants free-willing people that are willing to love Him and follow Him always.

I truly doubt that “this” was missing from Spurgeon’s work. Let’s please consider the specific topic Spurgeon was reflecting on—that election and free will both exist. Yes indeed. Heart circumcision is vital in becoming a Christian. :) Let’s read Ezekiel 36:25-27 again. This verse is...
