Bible Question (short): John 3:16.. whoever believes not perish? |
Question (full): I have read a lot, seems like all, the Calvinist/Arminian arguments regarding election and still have some questions which I would greatly appreciate your response. #1 How does one know that he/she is a chosen one? #2 If one is not chosen, one does not necessarily go to hell, right? Well, where do the unchosen go after death? #3 It is His will than none should perish...but then that scripture is turned around and somehow end up in only chosen ones? #4 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Why did this verse not say the chosen ones only? #5 Is this a secondary argument and not the basis for one to leave their church? By no means do I intend to sound argumentive. Please don't "retalliate" just help me understand the two sides better. God Bless You ALL! Mylene |
