I have pointed out in the previous post that there are Two different covenant promises to Abraham and the Land. One Promise was without Abraham being a partaker of but only His seed, and the Other Promise Abraham was to be a Partaker of with His seed. One Covenant Promise that did not include...

Which Israel Inherits the Promises? The True Nature of the Abrahamic Covenant and the Land Promise Out of the three different Israels mentioned or implied in scripture (national/carnal Israel, the election within Israel, and the universal body of elect Jews and Gentiles), we must ask a critical...

Ive read it numerous times. Is that your answer ?

Peter writing to believers wrote 1 Pet 1:1-2 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling...

Can you explain credited faith please ?

Now that its established that scripturally there are up to three different Israel's #1. The physical nation which is formulated by all the physical seed of Abraham brought out of the land of Egypt and constituted a nation at Sinai ex 20. Note, within this nation was also spiritual Israel, True...

"Van, We have been debating this for years, so let’s stop playing semantic hide-and-seek. You can claim you never used the exact phrase 'independently generate spiritual belief,' but that is the inescapable engine of your entire theology. Let's look at what you actually defend: 1. The...

Van, Thank you for posting the NET translation of Romans 9:6–8. However, your assertion that covenant identity must be seen through the eyes of "credited belief" as the basis for God's election exposes the exact conditionalist error that Paul wrote this entire chapter to destroy. You are...

According to scripture who is Israel ? Truly in scripture Israel can be defined in three ways. We know for one it means the physical nation of Israel, and taken alone they are not the Children of God Rom 9:8. However in the scripture truth Israel is also applied to Jesus Christ the Son of God...

Ps 5:5 5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Silverhair, your assertion that Scripture teaches God has given all men an "equal chance" to be saved completely reduces the finished victory of the cross to a tentative, helpless possibility. In your attempt to defend human autonomy, you have turned the execution of the Covenant of Grace into a...

The scripture is full of the evidence that both jew and gentile would be the One People of God, the Israel of God, a Spiritual People, with no ethnic distinction. That both would be a union of believers in Christ Gal 3:16,29 16Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not...

Van, your dismissal of the written text as a "screed" does not alter the fact that your three-point summary creates an unscriptural, fragmented timeline within the decree of God. In a desperate attempt to shield human free will, you are forced to invent a double-election theory that splits the...

Van, your response introduces an artificial, unscriptural division into the decree of God. In a desperate attempt to protect human free will, you have fabricated a theory where God chooses an empty corporate "target group" in eternity past, but doesn't actually populate that group with real...

the individuals in 2 Thess 2:13 and the corporate group of individuals in Eph 1:4 are the same people sir.
