If you read thru Romans without jumping around, you find that Paul is talking about God's switch from Israel as his chosen vessel to the Church. He specifically tells us why the gentiles are lost in Romans 2. Then he goes on to tell us why the Jews are lost. Then he tells us how God has the right to chose and use any vessel (jews or gentiles) that he pleases. Then in chapter 11, he even says God can switch back and use the Jews if the Gentiles get too proud.
The whole thing has nothing to do with personal salvation. That is placing western individualism upon the text.
It is about God using his new chosen vessel, with the gentiles being those whom he forknew (pre planned or pre envisioned) to use when the time of his first vessel was completed.
I could see how one could accuse him of that in the other posts, but this one is far from trolling.
Can you in any way walk us through your accusation to explain why this post is trolling?
Or are you trolling?
Have you ever read Roman's in one sitting?
This is the post of Ran the Man's which I most agree with.
Calvinists tend to read the bible verse by verse and can't see the forest for all the trees.
The above is what I disagree with.
It reeks of Arminianism.
Sure, given other threads when in answer to a question you say "I can be anything I want to, since I believe in freewill."
That's classic trolling. It has nothing to do with the topic or the question.
No, he continued the large volume from another thread. But honestly, you are derailing this thread at this point. If you would like to take it up further feel free to PM me.
So maybe it's not trolling, but it's definitely spamming. If our new resident open theist wanted to discuss some things, fine. But cluttering up the board with thread after thread...
Trolling accusations are a snowflake way of dismissing someone or their argument. It exists primarily on politically correctness infected forums. Let's make this site a safe space from it, shall we?
If you run me out
it says more about you than me.
The verses you quoted are talking about God's right to use whatever vessel he chooses, in this case, the Gentiles in place of the Jews.
