1 | What if you never heard of God before? | Rom 1:20 | TL56 | 174812 | ||
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (2 Thessalonians 1:7-9) |

2 | necessity for women to cover head | 1 Cor 11:5 | TL56 | 174762 | ||
With her head uncovered - That is, with the veil removed which she usually wore. It would seem from this that the women removed their veils, and wore their hair disheveled, when they pretended to be under the influence of divine inspiration. This was the case with the pagan priestesses; and in so doing, the Christian women imitated them. On this account, if on no other, Paul declares the impropriety of this conduct. It was, besides, a custom among ancient females, and one that was strictly enjoined by the traditional laws of the Jews, that a woman should not appear in public unless she were veiled. See this proved by Lightfoot in loco. Dishonoureth her head - Shows a lack of proper respect to man, to her husband, to her father, to the sex in general. The veil is a token of modesty and of subordinaion. It is regarded among Jews, and everywhere, as an emblem of her sense of inferiority of rank and station. It is the customary mark of her sex, and that by which she evinces her modesty and sense of subordination. To remove that, is to remove the appropriate mark of such subordination, and is a public act by which she thus shows dishonor to the man. And as it is proper that the grades and ranks of life should be recognized in a suitable manner, so it is improper that, even on pretence of religion, and of being engaged in the service of God, these marks should be laid aside. Barnes on the NT |

3 | A Horrible plan to burn for eternity | Deut 32:4 | TL56 | 174650 | ||
The Bible does not teach that we are predestined to one fate or the other this goes against God giving man free will to chose his destiny. Ephesians 1:4 does not teach individual election but rather class election. The key phrase in the Ephesian verse is "in Him." It was not the case that God chose certain individuals to be either saved or lost; rather, the Lord foreordained that a certain class of persons would be saved. What sort of class? Those who submit to heaven's divine plan of redemption, which in this dispensation, involves obeying Jesus the Christ (Hebrews 5:8,9), and entering into that relationship that is described as being "in Him" (cf. Galatians 3:26,27). | ||||||
