NASB | Ephesians 2:3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:3 Among these [unbelievers] we all once lived in the passions of our flesh [our behavior governed by the sinful self], indulging the desires of human nature [without the Holy Spirit] and [the impulses] of the [sinful] mind. We were, by nature, children [under the sentence] of [God's] wrath, just like the rest [of mankind]. |
Subject: Dear John: Is it possible? |
Bible Note: Na Na God picked me and he didn't pick you. Dear Ed, God forbid that I should ever feel that way. The way I look at my salvation is that if God has chosen me, then He could choose anyone! Election is God's business not mine. My business is to share the gospel with all and rely on it's power to save those whom God has called. I have no idea who will believe and who will not. 2 Cor 4:3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 1 Thess 1:5 for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, "Or your saying I’m elected and don’t know it and all this time I have been serving God not by my choice but I was actually brainwashed thinking I was doing it by choice but actually I had no choice. And being preordained to think I wasn’t elected is was actually a placed here to argue this topic with you." John doesn’t that sound a little odd to you? I'm not sure how to reply to this question without seening rude. Sometimes my thoughts about God do make me feel quite dizzy. He is just so BIG and I'm so small. But I am comforted by thinking of the great love He has for His own. John John |
