    Not true show where he calls Gentiles elect. Since the Bible was written to the Jews.

    Written to the Jews first, and now to us the Gentiles, as all now one in Christ!

    This does not make you elect. Because election is not necessary for Salvation
    Turning to Christ is repentance and believing in Christ we are saved.

    The Elect are the ones enabled by God to do just that!

    We Gentiles are all able
    Prove it with scripture.
    Act 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it

    Anything can be ELECT including your shoes. The question that needs asking is ELECT TO WHAT?

    Its not a MAGICAL HOLY WORD, Elect just means chosen.

    Then only Jews are chosen. There is no evidence Gentiles are chosen.The whole of the Bible is addressed to the Jew the Gentiles are an add in by the grace of God to make the Jews jealous. The term elect is always referring to the Jews

    Yes Election is a requirement for salvation. That is who Christ died for and obtained Salvation for. 2 Tim 2:10

    Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
