You have serious reading comprehension issues, friend. How well did you score in English at school?

aiOn means an age. aiOnios is an adjective derived from aiOn and means age-during/age-long/aeonous. By your logic, the following would be true. The woman’s husband gave her red roses and a red dress for her birthday - I used exactly the same English (red) for "red roses" and "red dress”...

From Strong’s via Blue Letter Bible online - πείθω peíthō, pi'-tho; a primary verb; to convince (by argument, true or false); by analogy, to pacify or conciliate (by other fair means); reflexively or passively, to assent (to evidence or authority), to rely (by inward certainty):—agree, assure...

Yes. God’s choice of who would be the progenitor of the Messiah was not based on any work that either child had done, not works or foreseen merit.. That is gobbledy-gook. Where do you get from the Bible the concept of - "The meaning of "hate" (when applied eternally) is God's sovereign decision...

No. You misread Strong. He says in the passive and the reflexive it means to be persuaded. peithO is present indicative active form, I am persuading (someone). peisthomai is the indicative active passive and reflexive/middle form I am being persuaded and I am persuading myself..

No peithO does not mean “to assent to evidence”. PeithO means I persuade [someone]. Its passive and reflexive form, peisthomai, mean I am persuaded (passive), or I persuade myself (middle). Which is why I suggested that since the infix -eu- in pisteuO invests the nuance of ‘to have the role of...

The biblical Gospel is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength; and to love your neighbour as yourself. Does your Calvinism hold to that gospel, which is to express God’s love for all people?

So, at least you recognise neither Calvinist not Arminian. However, you are mistaken in assuming that I have never read the physical Bible form cover to cover. Most prophecy is not divine foreknowledge. It is mostly contingent warnings and encouragement and promises. If you carry on the way...

Because you asked -

What do you understand peithO to mean, @Watchman22 ? To persuade? or something else?

When the full number of people groups have come into the body of Christ. Not until every people group has been reached with the Gospel. We can hasten the day of the Lord by reaching out to unreached people groups. We can delay His coming by ignoring unreached people groups. Rom 11:24 For if...

It is. And it is neither a calvinist nor a arminian view. Hence it is a third option.

Because, by believing lies and acting unjustly toward others after birth, we corrupt the innocent spirits we have as newborns .

Where do you see the equivalent to "all eternity" mentioned in the Greek and Hebrew text of the Christian scriptures, friend ? Using fallible translations of God’s word to justify your hatred of fellow human beings is not wise.

My understanding from scripture is that God does not know with 100% certainty what will happen in the future except a select category of things He predetermines and foretells in order to prove His omnipotence. He tests us to see what we will do. So, He does not know what we will do. So, I don't...

Both teach we are born corrupted. I did not mention born dead. Surely, "partially dead" is corrupted. And dead is also corrupted. The Bible teaches we are conceived and born innocent, and go astray from the innocence we were in the womb and at birth.

God did not hate Esau before he was born. God hated Esau’s descendants because they had continually harassed Jacob’s descendants hoping to wipe them out. God said “Jacob I have loved but Esau I have hated” to Israel in the time of Malachi, not to Esau in Genesis.

Researched using duckduckgo AI. Greek πίστις / πιστεύω (pistis / pisteuō) (“faith / believe”) is etymologically related to πείθω (peithō) (“to persuade / to be persuaded”). The usual scholarly explanation is that peithō is the root underlying the semantic family: peithō → pistis → pisteuō. In...

The measure by which you judge others will be the measure by which you are judged. Do you really want to apply a theological purity test to others who confess Jesus Christ as Lord?

Besides believing the Bible does not teach exhaustive divine foreknowledge, I also do not believe the Bible teaches original sin, i.e. that children are born corrupted with a sin nature, which both Calvinism and Arminianism teach. So, how do I fit into either calvinism Arminianism?
