of Course all life and all life's necessities require God's grace. ... them Jews woulda killed Paul apart from God's grace.

the predestination is in our fibre, the way we are made, when mama duck quacks her chicks fly to her bosom ... the gooses do not fly to bosom

no it doesn't, it requires God's power in the apostle who was buffeted beyond endurance and weak. Paul testified at the end of his ministry that as far as he knew he had no sin. He taught holiness and victory over sin. Folks use Paul's thorn in the flesh as an excuse for their backsliding.

you have to look into the reason why they believed, If you say they decided then there was something good, of spiritual worth in them, something I deny. If however the faith was given to them to believe as a free gift then all the praise and glory belongs to the Giver only. Nobody believes...

they were false brethren

the faith that brings salvation is not our faith but the faith of the Son of God., our faith may fail, His never.

reigning is reward ... salvation is a free gift. If we deny Him He cannot deny Himself. We will always be saved but we can lose our reward.

never in your life He tells us what his thorn is beatings, hunger, nakedness, shipwreck, false brethren. Romans 7 tells you about life under the law, ch.8 tells about life in the Spirit, Under grace not under the law. Paul lived in victory over sin and so do we when we follow him.

first to say "as for me and my house we serve the Lord" is a world of difference from saying "we choose to serve the Lord" see the difference one word makes? secondly who chooses? who has been given the choice? the Red Indians? did they get to choose? the Chinese? No it was Israel and they did...

no argument from me there.

Come let us reason this out. You are saying that Paul as apostle was unable to do what he willed. As apostle when he willed to good he did evil you saying he was [as apostle] captive to sin. How then could he preach that sin shall no more have dominion over you? Your whole premise is wrong...

never mind.

yes this is the sum result of Arminianism ... just a few shrivelled souls will be saved. I think a number which is impossible to count will be saved, God's house has may mansions and it will be PACKED, and still the angels will cry "there is room for more" and God will say "go out to the hedges...

Actually what I said was in finding God's laws and ways impossible we will cry out for the power to do them. With God's power they are possible. But they will not save anybody.

The Lord orders the steps of the righteous. He predestined the how and wherefore you would hear and believe the good news.

They were written in that Lamb's book before the world began ... a common mistake

I mean the law is holy, the law is good, the law is spiritual The flesh is rotten and weak. 3, 000 people were slain at the foot of Sinai when the law was given, the law killeth 3, 000 people got saved on the day of Pentecost when the Spirit was given. The Spirit giveth life.

My brother you inserting into what the scripture says. You are putting the cart before the horse. YOU are saying God foreknew that they would obey the gospel and so elected them on that basis. God put you in the womb my brother, He knitted you together, He knows the number of hairs upon your...

we were chosen to be saved at the right time, we were in Christ but consigned to the headship of Adam along with the rest of mankind. To exclude everyone else? NO but that God might have mercy upon all. Everything with God starts with grace and mercy ... it was Calvin who put the gloomy...

no he still didn't get it, the reason it is discussed again in chpts 11 and 15 is because he and Paul fell out in Antioch over whether or not the salvation of the Gentiles were "properly" saved ... he withdrew from them and would not eat with them [treating them as unclean] even Barnabas and...
