Question from recent posts

He has enabled all who hear and understand to be saved. Those who choose to receive blessings

 

I don't deny that... The OT points to the NT and the NT confirms the OT... There are types and shadows all through the Bible... Stand in the light of Christ and you can see them... Brother Glen:)

 

Some excerpts from Ezekiel 36:

"Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel"

"My people Israel"

"Oh House of Israel"

"Therefore, say to the House of Israel"

"These are the people of the Lord but they have gone out of His Land"

Yet you would have us believe this is applicable to all people.

Then you turn around and say that 2 Peter 3:9 is addressed to the church, not to everyone.

No it's not. It's not just that it's in the OT, it's that Israel is repeatedly and specifically addressed.

Yes, now that Christ has come.

Twist scripture and force your theology onto it.

Why is it called regeneration? As compared to a previous one?

 

That was my point, having a sin nature will not wnat to come to God, but to stay away!

 

Those who are left alone by God to their own desire will always choose to reject Jesus!

 

He had a sin nature before he sinned and walked with God

 

Who has God left alone before they reject God?

 

Genesis 6:3

 

Who did?

 

Adam

 

Yes, as a race but individuals reject God, then God leaves them alone

 

God only rejects on an individual basis though!

 

Or group as your verse says.... strive with man.....

 

Are we already lost sinners before any of us get saved?

 

Why not, why would you need saving?

 

Many do not see themselves lost though, as contemporary views seem to have them to believe that untless they outright reject Jesus, not really lost yet!

 

Jesus said we are condemned already.

We continue in that condemnation because we do not believe on the Son

 

And what happensto cause any who get saved to cease rejecting Him to save them, as that is our natural bent?

 

Free will to accept God"s will over ours
