1 | Do all men belong to God? | Job 33:6 | armond888 | 131917 | ||
It is clear throughout the Bible that indeed ALL men do NOT belong to GOD.. not an easy pill to shallow.. puts a big hole in the "free will" concept.. Rom 9:16 So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. Rom 9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH." Rom 9:18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. John 8:44 "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Rom 9:22 What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? Rom 9:23 And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, Rom 9:24 even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles. Matt 13:37 And He said, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, Matt 13:38 and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; |

2 | Do all men belong to God? | Job 33:6 | Glory Bound | 131921 | ||
"puts a big hole in the "free will" concept.." True, He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires, yet whom of us can distinguish. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Rom 3:23-24 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end "shall be saved." Mat 10:22 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but "with God all things are possible." Mat 19:24-26 Things aren’t as glum and dreary as many would lead us to believe, for He takes no pleasure in the punishment of the wicked. Were it not for that "free will," He would have it that we all would be saved. Many, such as Pharaoh and Judas were raised up for a particular purpose. Likewise, so were Moses and Jacob. So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. Rom 9:18. For what purpose were you raised up? GB |
