Easily understand that it means "who will have all elect men to be saved"? If the "elect" are saved already - why then does God need to desire that "all elect men be saved"? When someone is "elect", surely they have already "come to repentance"? 2 Peter 3:9 . . . not willing that any should...

I believe I did say "PRIDE caused the destruction that came upon Nebuchadnezzar - the fulfillment of his dream." The fulfillment of the dream wasn't "punishment" - that dream being fulfilled would be the "consequences" of Nebuchadnezzar's rebellion. Daniel told him this - "break off your sins...

And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us. Deut. 6:24,25

How do you harmonize 1 Timothy 2:4 and 2 Peter 3:9? No man comes to the Father but by Jesus Christ - salvation hinges on mankinds belief in Jesus Christ . . . The dream that Nebuchadnezzar had was the result of HIS worshipping other gods and demanding that others do the same and nothing that...

Basically, my post was to show you what I found in Thayer's which didn't exactly match up with what you said you found in Thayer's. I don't have any problem harmonizing the scriptures . . . The Father gives to the Son those who believe in him . . ."Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and...

Post from "salvation" thread: That's funny - the way I read it in Thayer's Greek English Lexicon of the New Testament - on page 357, Strong's #2889 - 5. the inhabitants of the world: 1 Cor. 5:9; particularly the inhabitants of the earth, men, the human race: Matt. 13:38, 28:7; Mk. 14:9; John...

Baptized unto eternal life - What gives us eternal life? Believing in the only begotten Son of God. How are we born again of the Spirit? Believing in the only begotten Son of God . . . When we are born again, i.e. baptized unto eternal life; we receive the gift of holy spirit, filled with...

One baptism . . . . Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and you will receive the gift of holy spirit - Acts 2:38 The apostles were filled with holy spirit, i.e. baptized by one Spirit, i.e. born again of the Spirit - "For we were...

Word of knowledge or message of knowledge is God guiding and assisting us in areas/situations/circumstances that daily confront each of us. . . . word of knowledge is personal and comes from the gift of holy spirit God has given us. God is THE Holy Spirit and he communicates with the spirit...

I know that is why I had "unknown" italicized when I quoted the verse. Where does it say the speaker knows what he is saying? It says "no man understands" - him is also italicized . . . . so it was also added by the translators. Yes the speaker is edified when speaking to God "alone" but...

Yet, God says that "For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries." . . . and "Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies himself" . . . So it's a logical fallacy? And how would you know...

If the jailer was already saved then why ask: What must I do to be saved?

That's funny - the way I read it in Thayer's Greek English Lexicon of the New Testament - on page 357, Strong's #2889 - 5. the inhabitants of the world: 1 Cor. 5:9; particularly the inhabitants of the earth, men, the human race: Matt. 13:38, 28:7; Mk. 14:9; John 1:10 & 29, 3:16, 6:33&51, 8:26...

ESPECIALLY OF THOSE THAT BELIEVE . . . . perfect verse!!!!!

9) But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 10) For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory...

ALL PEOPLE are NOT God's children . . . . NO contradictions whatsoever . . . NO ONE is a child of God until they are born of the Spirit. The only way to be born of the Spirit is through faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9,10 says if we confess Jesus as Lord and believe God raised him from the...

Actually, I didn't change the verses at all - You have to look at those verses within the WHOLE scope of scripture . . . God sent his only begotten Son that WHOSOEVER BELIEVES in him shall not perish but have eternal life . . . Jesus Christ shed his blood for the remission of sins - He is the...

Well, you have to take those verses in context and you have to take them with the REST of scripture - NO ONE is saved except by faith in Jesus Christ.

I see that you are upset because no one really took the verses you posted and addressed them. I will attempt to do just that although you posted a whole page!!!!! Jesus died for the world . . . he was sent to be the Savior of the world but NOT ALL will believe in him so NOT ALL will be saved...

Not everyone is God's kid . . . only those who have been born again of the Spirit and the only way to be born again of the Spirit and be saved from God's wrath is to confess Jesus as Lord and believe that God raised him from the dead - then and only then is one a child of God.
