1 | God turns back on individuals? | Rom 11:5 | azurelaw | 227558 | ||
Dear humble, Roman 11:5 you cited clearly indicated that there are some that God does not choose. How would you reconcile this with your answer "no"? I think we should be careful not to take scripture out of its context. To the question, I would say "yes" and "no". God is Sovereign, Holy, Just and of course Love. He hates sin. We, as sinners, always under His wrath (John 3:36). We are condemned already and are hopless. Do a word search on "wrath" from the Bible Text box, you will find a bunch of scriptures describing God's wrath. The only way that we can escape from God's wrath is through His Son Jesus Christ. This is the only way He planned to exercise His saving grace and Love on sinners (Rom 5:8). He [Jesus] is our only hope and our only shelter. Read also Roman 8:28-30 and chapter 9. Shalom Azure |

Rom 10:13, Prov 10:12, 1 john 4:16 just to name a few. I hear you Shalom. Verses are good but overall meaning is better. We all sin, Jesus gives us a chance to be saved. God knows some will never call on Jesus, but that doesn't mean he turns his back on them. Love covers all sin. God is love. Jesus is love. Love is both. | ||||||
3 | God turns back on individuals? | Rom 11:5 | Beja | 227564 | ||
thread, I think what we run into here is very poor specifics on what we are asking. "Does God turn His back on us so that we can't be saved" is simply an emotional question that could mean more than one thing. In Christ, Beja |

5 | God turns back on individuals? | Rom 11:5 | Beja | 227614 | ||
PaulusSecundus, These verses are only illustrating my point. What are we talking about when we say that God turns his back on us so that we can't be saved? Are we talking about when God kills an individual? That certainly ends their chances. Are we talking about election and reprobation? Are we talking about the Gospel no longer being valid for them even if they repent and believe? Are we talking about individuals in some remote time and place who never heard of the gospel? All of these require different discussions, and in the mean time its just a vague highly emotionally charged question. There are certainly valid forms of this question, we just won't have productive conversations until we define what we are talking about better. In Christ, Beja |

6 | God turns back on individuals? | Rom 11:5 | PaulusSecundus | 227618 | ||
The questioner is asking about whether God turns his back on individuals, and I'm providing scriptural examples of God doing this, for another example, remember the individual Judas, the apostle, whom Jesus referred to as "the son of perdition [Judas Iscariot--the one who is now doomed to destruction, destined to be lost], that the Scripture might be fulfilled. [Ps. 41:9; John 6:70.]." (AMP) | ||||||
