    I only stated the fact when I said Biblicist admits right here to not knowing why God saves some and not others.
    Right here where Biblicist says, “The reason that God chooses anyone to salvation is a profound mystery of Scripture.”
    Do you not see it? He admits he does not know. God’s written word does tell us why He saves the people He saves. Biblicist not only admits he does not know, but he also makes a false statement by saying salvation is a profound mystery of Scripture.

    And you disagree with him.
    How can a finite mind understand an infinite God? Can you give any intelligent reason as to why God would choose to save any one of us. Can you give any intelligent reason as to why God would send his Son down from the glories of heaven to be abused by men, to die for the penalty of our sins, that we might be saved? Why would he do that? What did we ever do to deserve that kind of love; that kind of grace and mercy? The answer is nothing! We are "wretches" deserving nothing of God's wrath and indignation. Thus "salvation is a profound mystery of Scripture." Whatever is wrong with that statement.

    Scripture:
    Romans 11:33-36 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

    Or perhaps you do know the mind of God, and claim the omniscience that only he has??

    the Apostle paul , the one who had the greatest revelations granted him byGod concerning salvation...

    he got to the point in Romans where he had to just sit back and bring God the glory, beyond his understanding!

    You know more than paul did concerning God and His ways?

    Why are you so rude? As for what you said about Paul just sitting back…what scripture is that?

    Since you are being so rude, I will not share with you what the Bible says about these things. I will tell you though how a person can know these things too…get Jesus’ teachings, and obey them.

    John 14:21; 1 John 2:3; Matthew 7:6; Proverbs 23:9;
