Subject: eph 1:4-5 what is predestination, chosen |
Bible Note: Hi Hobbs. You have said. "Now, why do I believe that what I have just said is true. Allow me to list just two verses for starts. Rom 3:10 as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; Rom 3:11 THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;" Hobbs But what about the four words that immediately precede your Scripture quotation, namely Rom 3:10 As it is written: Now I wonder, could it possibly be that Paul might just be referring to existing Scripture of around 1000 years old at the time he wrote Romans?.. What about. Psa 14:1 PSALM 14 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. THE fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good. Psa 14:2 The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God. Psa 14:3 They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one. Psa 14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call on the LORD? Psa 14:5 There they are in great fear, For God is with the generation of the righteous. Psa 14:6 You shame the counsel of the poor, But the LORD is his refuge. Psa 14:7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad. Psa 53:1 PSALM 53 To the Chief Musician. Set to "Mahalath." A Contemplation* of David. THE fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none who does good. Psa 53:2 God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God. Psa 53:3 Every one of them has turned aside; They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one. Psa 53:4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon God? Psa 53:5 There they are in great fear Where no fear was, For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you; You have put them to shame, Because God has despised them. Psa 53:6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad. Pay special attention to verse 4, in each case, and tell me is David referring to the entire human race at all times in history, or just those who were the enemies of Israel at that time? ebrain. |
