Jesus spoke about what you mistakenly think is for today. Jesus said those things at a time when no one had become a new creation in Christ! Therefore, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation: The old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 Now we have become a new...

I am not going by "feeling." That would be subjective thinking. The only thing you lack is being taught many truths that will eventually mature you into being able to think with the Word objectively. But, when you ask for someone to prove themself in a post or two? What would require you get...

Before the church age began OT Jews became saved by believing in the Lord God of Israel, "Adonoy Eloheinu" who later was to deny himself his right to be as God, and made Himself to become the man Jesus to die in our place on the Cross. Later to be glorified as he returned to being as God...

Was Moses chosen onto salvation? Yes. Was Moses chosen for being the Bride of Christ when God had chosen Moses to be saved? No. We have been chosen IN Him. But, not Moses. For Moses was chosen for the dispensation and purpose God had for the age of Israel. Too many are confused over...

Straighten me out, then! Instead of simply telling me I'm wrong? Tell me what is right! Give it! I can only guess what you believe. Whatever you might have said in this thread pertaining to what you think elect means? I missed it... Put your cards on the table.

Elect means simply... those whom God knew would believe, and chose for His purpose and plan to be active in our dispensation.

They confuse the reality when they see the word "works." For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 They fail to see what was taking place when that was written. For...

Not all elect are obedient. If all were obedient? We would not have the following passage! 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay...

More like... "Then you can question if you are carnal, or not." For if you were not saved? You could care less. On the other hand.. If you are concerned that you might not be saved? That concern reveals that you do realize salvation is a reality. For only a regenerate person can have...

And, thanks for your opinion that you think what he said was his opinion. :coffee:

I wish I could figure out why you asked that question..... Yes.... God's grace is always there. But, gaining access to it is conditional. Here's one example of what I speak.. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."...

What indoctrination had you been inculcated with? Are you a TULIP mind? This verse should tell you that once saved we have a choice to continue in grace. For the following is a gentle command.... But, continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus, the Messiah...

Unmerited favor... I have often wondered. Who thought that one up? Its commonly used that way, but no where I have found is grace said to be unmerited favor. Its actually power God gives the helpless so we can be made to warrant his favor. Paul made a clear declaration concerning grace...

I am not really sure what you are after... Unconditional on its initial approach to all men. For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all men. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this...

The men in Romans 1:18-23 were for a season recipients of grace for God. They had to be to have made Himself known to them. At one point they became arrogant and then God's grace was no longer given.. The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of...

The Pharisees would have boasted that its by God they cast them out. But they went dead silent before Jesus' challenge. There is a reason its called blasphemy of the Spirit. For they claimed to be the ones of God. Yet, were attributing to Jesus something demonic and inferior while Jesus was...
