41 | What does predestinated means | Ephesians | Rom831 | 29004 | ||
You're looking at this from our point of view in linear time, not from God's point of view from eternity. It does not say that God chose the elect by name to be saved. It says those who are with Him are the chosen. Yes, our names are written there, because we believe, not out of a cosmic lottery. Mark 16:16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved" Notice, "saved" comes after "believed". If we had to be chosen first, we'd be chosen to be saved, so we believed. I'm sorry. Feel free to disagree. But the only way to reconcile all of scripture, is for us to have the choice. Otherwise spreading the gospel as Jesus commands is pointless, belife is irrellevant, Jesus' whole ministery of belife is wasted air, Jesus died for nothing, and God does NOT desire that none shall be lost but instead is an evil being who has condemned the majority of people to an eternity of suffering in a lake of fire by HIS will alone. Not to mention, if God chose me specifically for heaven and specifically chose someone else for hell, MAN what a boasting right!! "He chose me and not you and there's nothing you can do about it!! " It just doesn't work. As for your other post on foreknowledge, again I'm sorry, but instead of twisting His words, lets believe what He says. John 6:64 "But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe. There, the word "fore knowledge" isn't used so you can't twist it. It says that Jesus knew who would not believe. Not who were not allowed to believe or not chosen so they couldn't believe. Bless...ArtS |

42 | Questions about blessing others - take 2 | Matt 10:13 | Rom831 | 28968 | ||
Eh, he's just clakning his gong. In the end, that's all evil can do. Besides, he is friends with another poster there and I know that guy is from Amsterdam. So I'm not sure this one is even in the US. As far as the verses, I'm still not sure. Its going to take more praying on I guess. Yes, Jesus was speaking to the disciples, but so was He many times and His truth is still, and always will be true. And anyone who spreads His word, is also His disciple. So He is speaking to us too. Much to contimplate... Bless...ArtS |

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I should have clarified a little better. Nothing has happened to my daughter. He just thinks its funny to talk about it happening. Trying to get me to lash out. Anyway... I understand what you are saying, but what then is menat buy the Mat 10:13 verse that if they are unworthy, to take back your blessing and brush their dust off your sandals? That's from Jesus Himself... Bless...ArtS |

44 | John 3:16.. whoever believes not perish? | Rev 13:8 | Rom831 | 28956 | ||
Not at all! WE make the choice to believe or not believe. Believing in no way makes us deserve to go to Heaven. We are still as much sinners as those who do not believe. There is nothing we can do, or have done to deserve to go to Heaven. What god did was to, in advance say, "OK, I have two groups of people: those who'll believe in My Son and those who won't. So what I'm going to do, is that for all of those who choose to accept My Son, their sins will be paid for by My son's death and they will be with Me." And through Jesus, He gives US the choice which group to join; those who He has allowed to be covered by the blood of Jesus, or those who willfully reject it and are condemned. He predestined the group, not the individule. He has then said to us, "Now its up to you. Believe and be saved, do not believe and be condemned." He puts no one there, we do that ourselves. Bless...ArtS |

47 | Explain million year old dinosaurs. | Job | Rom831 | 28884 | ||
If it was millions of years, please then explain how death did not enter the world until Adam sinned (RO 5:12) yet animals would have had to die in those millions of years. And heve you actually read about behemouth? Tail like a cedar, bones of bronze and iron, not even the raging Jordan can move him, no one can capture him, his nose cannot be pierced by a barb, you cant spear him, capture him for trade, he is so fierce no one dare rouse him, has an outer armor, fierce teeth, has scales that cannot be seperated, fire from his mouth, smoke from his nose, When he raises himself up the mighty fear, sword nor spear can beat him, iron is like straw to him, bronze as rotten wood, the sea like a jar of ointment, he makes an enormous wake in water as he walks, etc. A hippo??? hehe Bless...ArtS |
