BF read the context. The light shines into the heart of those that have believed. The light of Jesus shines in all the world John 1:9, then by your view all people should be saved, universalism. But that is not what we see is it.

The reason Paul served the church and proclaimed the gospel was because of God’s work in his life. Much as in creating the world God acted to bring light out of darkness Genesis 1:2-4, so in spiritual creation He brings light to the hearts of those in darkness. Acts of the Apostles 26:18. The light in believers’ lives is the knowledge of God’s salvation. When people were in the darkness of sin, they had no knowledge of God, no experience of His life and salvation. Ephesians 4:18 BKC

Lol, I read the context 100s of time, that's how I came across the verse duh. Whenever you want to reject something clearly taught in scripture, you appeal to context, how convenient .

Sorry BF but what scripture that you post does not, in context, support you religion.

You pull various verses together to prove your point but when read in context they do not do so.

You are doing the same thing that the cults do and with the same result.

(I am Called at this stage in my life to be a Baptist Missionary to Baptists.

Pretty wild, but it is what it is.

ALL, again, with the Hope of having us Worship God in the ways He says are Acceptable to Him.

About 1 out of 1,000 posts, I receive some indication of my having been bearing some fruit,
even in just appreciation of some kind like you posted, so thank you, again.

Certainly, I am apparently driven by something other than positive feedback!).

Not many care to read more than a bumper sticker or a meme. The truths you share come from men who spent their lives pouring over scripture unlike the day you find yourself in. But God has you here to plant seed for those who read your offerings.
Gal.6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith

When it comes to mans religion, salvation is contingent not solely on God and what has been accomplished by the person and work of Jesus Christ for His People, but it depends on how a sinner responds, so it all rests with the sinner, See Prov 14:12

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

When folk are challenged with scripture that overthrows their views, they use the surest escape route, you taking that out of context.

Thats how we compare scripture with scripture, spiritual things with spiritual things, by investigating different contexts. 1 Cor 2:13

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

The Holy Ghost is the author of all scripture, both old and new test. Why you think the Apostles used old test scripture all the time ? Its not the same circumstances, but its the same Holy Spirit. So the problem is, when you run up against someone proficient in the scripture, you cry, context context, its just an excuse to reject the truth

You think to much of yourself BF.

I disagree with your misuse of God's word because you misuse God's word.

Your best bet against me friend is to plead context, because I have shown you all scripture that you cant refute, so, bail yourself out and argue context.

BF I have shown the error of your view over and over you just will not accept the truth.

Calvinism is a man-made religion from the 4th century cobbled together by Augustine during his fight with Pelagius.

If you want to stand by it that is your choice but I will trust the word of God.

That is what I have been trying to tell you BF. You seem to think your man-made religion is correct but as you rightly point out it leads to death.
