Featured Doctrine of Unconditional Election 2

Scriptures that indicate that election to Salvation took place before the elect individual existed:

Jeremiah 1:5 - “Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee.”



Matthew 25:34 - “Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”


Ephesians 1:4 - “Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.”


2 Thessalonians 2:13 - “But we are bound to give thanks to God alway for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Sprit and belief of the truth.”

Compare also the phraseology used as to the names written in the Lamb’s book of life, Revelation 13:8 -

“And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him (that is the beast), every one


Revelation 17:8 - “And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, they whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast how that he was, and is not, and shall come.”

 

Again, you sound confused. This thread is about unconditional election.

 

So what is election conditioned upon ?

 

Election guarantees the elect will repent and believe, but election isn't conditioned on those things.

 

Dont mean to be insulting you. Put it like this then, Im confused on what you saying. How does it relate to unconditional election, thats my emphasis in this thread.

 

Do you insinuate that to mention Christ died for His elect, His Sheep exclusively is a different Gospel like as in Gal 1:8-9 ?

 

Actually Peter preached Limited atonement in Acts 2, He was speaking specifically to the House of Israel Gods Elect Acts 2:36

36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

 

Still the same. Jesus used them to refer to the same people Mk 13:20


And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
