Its crystal clear that the scriptures teach election, even unconditional election in salvation. Most people will agree that election is taught in scripture, but very few agree that its unconditional, and totally by grace and Gods sovereign good pleasure, not outside of Himself. Even the OT scripture indicates Gods sovereign prerogative in election and having mercy on whomever He will Ex 33:19

And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord...

I made reference to this question in another post/thread.

I searched for a specific topical section of the BBS and didn't find it ... Mods, I expect this post to be moved if I've overlooked a better "address" for this topic. I will accept that correction.
Does God have a timeline? YES.

Can we know it? Does he want us to know it? I believe…YES.

He told Daniel this in chapter 12:9,10: “And the angel said, ‘Go your way, Daniel, for the words are concealed and sealed up UNTIL the end of...

"At the heart of the division between Protestants and Catholics is the disagreement over the doctrine of justification. According to Catholic theology, justification is believed to be a lifelong process in which the sinner becomes intrinsically righteous, to the extent that he or she cooperates with grace. On the other side, Protestants assert that this ends up confusing justification with sanctification. Whereas sanctification is a process, justification is a once-for-all declaration of...

Matthew is silent on this matter.
Mark 16:1 that morning Jesus was risen spices were brought.
Luke 23:56 tells us the women prepared spices the day before the Sabbath. And that morning after the Sabbath brought spices they had prepared. Now John's account was written some 60 years later, tells us Jesus' body was wrapped with about 100 pounds of spices John 19:39-40.

On the spectrum of genuine Christians having beliefs about being saved there exists some disagreement.

Personally, I have always as a saved Christian believed being saved, one would now have etenal life with the assurance of going to Heaven when one should die. And that being so, could not be something one could ever lose. The notion that a saved person could become lost made no sense to me. A person who dies and goes to "hell" would not have been saved. Saved means one is going to...

Liberals attack truth by redefining the meaning of words. Many times in scripture the statement is made that salvation is "through faith." Often the Greek preposition "dia" which means "by means of" or "by reason of" when used to indicate instrumentality, is nullified by liberal rather than literal interpretation.

If individuals were chosen for salvation unconditionally, then salvation would not be "through faith."

Thus when you see "through faith" (or by faith) the liberals claim the...

This is how I see that Bible’s way for a sinner to get saved.

1. No human being can, in and of themselves, call upon the Lord for their salvation. The Bible is very clear, as Romans 3:11 says: “There is no one who seeks after God”. The natural person would not desire to give their lives to the Lord. Salvation is a free Gift from God to the human race: “for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would...

The Holy Bible is very clear, that God VERY MUCH LOVES the human race, that is, ALL without exception, which is correctly used by John Calvin on John 3:16. Yet, there are these two groups, and some who support their cause, who the LEAST interested in showing any love for the lost, and, in fact, will argue that God actually HATES them, by misusing Bible verses like Romans 9:13, which has nothing to do with salvation, but rather of SERVING!

These will WILFULLY ignore every Bible verse or...

Will YOU accept what the Bible actually does teach on God's Great Salvation, and not what some "theologians", who are clearly AGAINST the Teaching of the Holy Bible, claim to be what the Bible says???

Dave Hunt brilliantly deals with the MANY errors of Reformed/Calvinistic "theology". They who have ears to hear, let them open them to God's Truth.

While recently talking face-to-face with a believer of the KJVO myth, he told me the KJV was written in "Church English" & no newer verion was. I explained to him that, years beore the internet came along, I had sent letters to several English professors asking about that very thing, & all who answered assured me THERE'S NO SUCH THING as "Church English". The KJV was written in mostly the same English as was used every day by the British of the time, as were the versions that preceded it....
