1 | chosen vs. unchosen | Rom 11:1 | smilin4Him | 166957 | ||
SInce God uses the term "Chosen People" ,who are the unchosen? | ||||||
2 | chosen vs. unchosen | Rom 11:1 | ajsongbird | 166958 | ||
The Chosen People are the nation of Israel. It's not that we are the unchosen if we are Gentiles (meaning not Jews), but God has chosen the Israelites to reign in the earth for the final days. (This is found in Revelation, but I am not sure where) So, because of grace, salvation has been made available to us, the Gentiles, those who are not from the nation of Israel. Does that help? | ||||||
3 | Yes, but... | Rom 11:1 | smilin4Him | 166959 | ||
Yes that does help but what about those that do not believe - did God originally grant them grace but because of free will they chose not to believe or are they not "chosen" (the ones written in the Book of Life"? | ||||||
4 | Yes, but... | Rom 11:1 | mark d seyler | 166969 | ||
Hi smilin4Him, Now that is the big question! :-) This is at the heart of the Calvinism/Arminianism debate. Given the opportunity we could all line up on differing sides of that question, but because of the unending debate that tends to inspire, we have agreed to not try to settle it here on this forum. If you search the archives under Calvinism and Arminianism, you can read from the many many posts that have already been written, and hopefully this will aquaint you sufficiently with the arguments. But study the Bible, and consider all passages that refer to choosing and being chosen, and let the Lord lead you. If you wish to contact me directly to discuss this, my email is in my profile, and I would be happy to discuss it with you. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |
