You will never understand the truth unless you harmonize the scriptures.

I do respect your dedication to study the scriptures, and do agree with a lot of your quotes, however I do think that you are missing out on some very comforting scriptures by not harmonizing them. As you have stated that "all Israel is not of Israel" which is true with the meaning that all of...

God inspired scriptures were not written to all humanity, but were directed to his adopted children for instructing them as to how God wants them to live their lives as they sojourn here on earth. Two things that you have not been revealed the knowledge of are: 1. The "all men" quotes are...

With all due respect, I believe that the truth of Christ doctrine is found in the harmony of the scriptures. When a person is born again the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is part of that new birth, and 2 Tim 2:13 says "if we believe not, yet he abideth faithful; he cannot deny himself"...

I have never read any of John Calvin's writings. I have heard other comments about him, and what I have heardabout his beliefs, some of them I do not agree with. Matter of fact, I believe the scriptures prove themselves by their harmony, and they are my only source of reference, except for...

Do you also think that Peter is a devil? (Matt 16:23)

First of all, God did not plan eternal salvation, he purposed it. Paul is explaining to those that have been born of the Spirit are different than those that do not have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit Paul does not direct his teaching to the natural man, knowing that they cannot receive the...

The Old Testament saints were born again in the same manner as the New Testament saints are, which includes the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 63:11)

The world/natural man cannot receive the Spirit of truth John 14:17.

Just curious, how do you define "the lost sheep of the house of Israel". And do you believe that Jacob who is surnamed Israel represents spiritual Israel?

Can you honestly make the judgement that Judas is not a child of God? Scripture tells us that he was a birth child of Jacob. God says in Luke 1:33 that he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. God's children, when they are walking in the flesh...

If you want to know why these people were "in earnest", they all are eternally saved. They are his sheep. Christ's Father gave them to Christ and Christ gave them eternal life. (John 10:26-29) You have no knowledge of the meaning of "saved". Look it up. Strongs concordance says that it...

Case opened again. All of the scriptures must harmonize, if you are to understand the truths contained within them. John 6:37 explains who it is that will "COME" to him, and it is not the natural man. Only those that have been borne by spiritual birth.

None of the above. The natural man is spiritually dead in sins, as we all are when we are born into this world by natural birth. Eph 2:1-5 explains the transition of the natural man in becoming a spiritual man, especially verse 5 - Even when we were dead in sins, hath he quickened us together...

Those who are born of the Spirit are the only people that can make good choices concerning spiritual things, although they often do not because of their fleshly nature. The natural man, who has not been born of the Spirit, makes bad choices. Even when he appears to make good choices, they are...

You ignore the fact that "salvation" is a deliverance, and the scriptures reveal that, the people of God, have many deliverances as they sojourn here on earth.

If you don't mind, give me your interpretation of 1 Cor 2:14.

You do realize, I hope, that the reason that you make all of these good choices, is the fact that you have been born again. The natural person, before he has been born again, will not, and even, cannot make spiritual choices (1 Cor 2:14)

You have just confirmed that, the people of God, those who have already been born of the Spirit understand spiritual things. It is the natural man, who has not been born of the Spirit, that receiveth "NOT" the things of the Spirit, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
