    You are of course correct. Some struggle with the grace of God.

    This comes to mind,lol
    Ezekiel 2 King James Version (KJV)
    2 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.

    2 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.

    3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.

    4 For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God.

    5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

    6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

    7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

    8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.

    9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

    10 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

    Sheep are Jews . The context is clear . Gentiles were never lost . Israel is God's firstborn son . Gentiles are ' strangers , without hope Eph 2.11-12 .

    Nonsense . Give no offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God, 1 cor 10 .32 Notice the distinction is still there outside of Christ .

    Sheep = Jews = lost . Gentiles were never lost.

    Heres the false teaching of Augustine. This is the beginning of the steps into Lordship salvation and ( practically ) the introduction to a works based system of Calvinism .

    No but John 10 is where Jesus clarified specifically who He died for, take heed.

    When a person follows Kevin Thompson and Leighton Flowers as their source there is no chance truth is coming to town anytime soon.

    Look them up on YouTube, they have videos there.

    Kevin Thompson has a channel called, "Beyond the Fundamentals" , while Leighton Flowers is founder of "Soteriology 101" and was involved here at one time.
    Mr. Flowers was known as "Skandelon".

    On a side note:

    Gentlemen, may I remind my brothers and sisters that we are, as much as lies within us, to be at peace with all men?
    Paul delivered to us his own attitude about this subject...
    That he sought to be free of offense towards both God and men.

    My sincere desire is to see the Lord glorified, and we as believers grateful for His mercy and grace towards us...
    Being mindful of what the Lord Jesus has purchased for us with His blood;
    Eternal life.
    Let's be civil in our disagreements, and to seek peace and follow it.


    May He bless us all with patience and wisdom according to His promises.:)

    They are on YouTube and post foolish anti cal videos 24/7.
    They oppose the revealed word of God openly by explaining away the words used in the texts by vain philosophy and speculation

    So, @Barry Johnson is a Skandelonite. That explains it all. Thanks for the info.

    Not in context of the OT . There are clear references for Israel which are distinctive. Replacement theology has no clue about this .
