As I see it, it boils down to this ...
Two men are before the Lord on Judgment Day.
He asks them, in essence...
"Why should I not cast you into Hell, where the penalty of sin and of the Law, says that I should?"
One man says, "Because I chose you".
The other says, "Because you chose me".
Which one would you say involves man's efforts at gaining favor with God, and which one constitutes God's efforts ( alone and independent of our efforts, totally of grace and mercy ) in saving men?
I leave that to you, to answer for yourself.;)
This is my last reply in this thread.
May God's blessings be upon you, sir.:)
If faith is predestined and cause by God, then answer me this.....

Do you have Scripture to back this up this concept of what a true gift is? IOWs, when Jacob had his servants bring over camels and gifts to Esau, is there any hint that Esau deserved partial credit for taking them? You say that this can't really be considered a gift (per your description). So where did you get this idea? -

1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. -

The fruit of the Spirit is there, it has to be in the heart of the child of God.
Perhaps overshadowed with sorrow (if that is what you mean) but there nonetheless. -
The Eye-Popping Cost of Medicare for All
Back to the o/p - one has to be careful if one is depending on the government for oversight of one's Medicare health plan.
Uncle will not tell you if a better plan exists for you in any given year - you have oversight not them.
For 2020 I redid my Medicare Advantage plan, reduced my monthly premium from $129.00 to $82.00 - similar coverage.
In addition I now have a dental plan included.
They also failed to inform me that the drug Lyrica (not an opioid) went generic (Pregabalin) and went from $800.00 to $20.00 per month for a typical prescription. Lyrica/Pregablin was on my request list, it helps relieve neuropathy pain.
You still have time. LORD willing. -
