Elect by who for what?

He wasn't arguing against Himself being the son of David; He was asking a rhetorical questions to get the Pharisees thinking. The Pharisees already knew the contents of Psalm 110:1, but were rejecting David's descendent (Jesus) as being the Lord.

Yep, false prophets (vv 15-20) lie.

Everyone has faith - it's part of our created make-up. It's the object of that faith that will either save you or damn you.

Jesus' death on the cross, apart from faith, never saved anyone.

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:2 (KJV)

I appreciate your mention of John 9:41. I never thought of it in connection with infants.

Forsake your "system"; that's all it is. Jesus died for everyone; including Esau, Pharaoh, Judas, and every other bad boy.

This verse gives insight on how much is too much: For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. James 2:10 (KJV) Heaven requires perfection for entrance. If anyone could loose their eternal salvation, no one could stay saved.

Yes, it would be torture. Its a good thing God blocked access to the tree of life (Gen. 3:24)

Actually it doesn't just say that. It says that they know that in God's judgment they're worthy of death because they commit such things. The "such things" are the sins listed in vv. 29-31. They can't know sin apart from knowing the law (7:7). The work of the law is written in their hearts...

It would appear that there isn't anyone who doesn't know the law: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death ... Romans 1:32 (KJV)

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Gal 3:24 (KJV)

The seed is the word of God. The word of God contains both the law and the gospel. The law doesn't save; it only leads to salvation.

None of those verses say a person loses their salvation.

No, a person can't loose their salvation. 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are...

One of my favorites has always been: 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matt...

No, we are not. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. John 3:6-7 (KJV) (Read the whole passage; John chapter 3).

... where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: Romans 5:20 (KJV)

Good video. I don't see a nuclear war in the text; it describes primitive weapons. I tend to picture some kind of modern weapon stand-off that allows for only the use of primitive weapons.
