To say we become his sheep when we believe makes his statement make no sense. Only his sheep hear his voice. How can one believe when he has not heard? (As Paul said) Cook is right. You keep turning the scriptures upside down. We believe because we are his sheep and hear his voice. The Father...

In that same book Paul tells us God chose Jacob over Esau before they were born or did anything. Your alienate this half sentence from it's context and from it's author. Paul is saying God chooses whom He will not based on us but based on His sovereign good pleasure. Please read scripture in...

Referring to the leaders of Jerusalem as Jerusalem itself is a common practice of the old testament prophets. To not know this concerns me deeply for you my friend. Second, the audience Jesus was speaking to in Matthew 23 hears his rebuke of the scribes and Pharisees multiple times. This...

If what you say is true, then Christ died for countless people who will die and go to perdition. His death was in vain for them and he failed in his mission to redeem all that the Father gives him "AND LOSE NONE OF THEM". That Christ cannot save. His death cannot atone. He is a failure, plain...

My time on this forum has been relatively short, but I've seen a common theme. There seems to be a long standing debate between those who teach free Grace and those who do not, in whatever form that takes. Some think salvation can even be lost and our purchased redemption can be forfeited. I'd...

It shows you know nothing of Scripture The OT has the saying, CHOSE THIS DAY who you will Jesus also said is will was to ALWAYS take Israe under his wings as a mother hen, but they were unwilling. Again you show your ignorance of the scripture. Subjectively quoting half sentences from...

With all due respect brother, it does. Now by this I do not mean this person is damned because of their false gospel. We all walked in that before regeneration. But that person cannot be said to be a brother or sister at present, meaning we cannot take their false gospel and conclude they are...

f God did not pay it is full. No one will be saved. And scripture makes it perfectly clear. We are saved BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH God will not force you to recieve his gift.. By saying God will not force anyone, you show you do not know the scriptures. The Jews in the old testament regularly...

Forest has hit the nail on the head. The essentials that one must believe are the Person and Work of Christ. Those whom God has given real saving faith are those that He has united to His Son. He opens their eyes to the reality of His person (who He is), and His Work (what He has done). Saving...
