What if "foreknew" means God formulated a predetermined plan for people to be chosen based on crediting their faith as righteousness during their physical lifetime? If people were individually chosen for salvation before creation, that would mean they never were not "a people" chosen for His...

What does it mean to be sealed in Christ with the Holy Spirit forever? 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge. 1) How were we "established" in Christ. God spiritually...

Are some of the Lost allowed and thus able, to seek God? The answer from scripture is yes, but they do not seek God when sinning, and since we all sin, none of us seek God all the time. If a person receives the gospel, even partially, they were seeking God to some degree. Three of the Four...

Romans 8:27 NASB and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:34 NASB who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, but rather, was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also...

I am sorry, I thought I had responded to this false claim. No one is saying if you reject or fail to fully embrace the gospel, you are damned forever. A person might reject or not fully commit to the gospel initially, but subsequently "come to their senses" and "rededicate" their lives fully...

If you change it to no one ever seeks after God, you are making Scripture some sort of man-made concoction that feeds fleshly desired (vindication) but provides no nourishment. Scripture says a few find, but many seek the way to eternal life. Your unstudied doctrine nullifies all such verses...

Agree, and further, the idea that God not only restored Abraham's reproductive ability, but also Sarah's adds to the magnitude of the miracle of the fulfillment of the promise! I also agree, several times when confronted with an agenda driven translation, I find the good but old KJV to be spot...

As I have posted many times, "There is none that seeketh after God when sinning. Thus the statement does not suggest no lost person ever seeks God while lost. It is adding to scripture to expand the reach of a statement beyond its intent. Paul was arguing that we are all under sin, that we all...

LOL, some deny they added to Romans 3:11, by pointing to their addition to 1 Corinthians 2:14. I kid you not!!! Folks, the house of cards of "Total Spiritual Inability" comes tumbling down with just a smidgen of contextual study. Romans 3:11 does not say the lost do not ever seek God, and 1...

Good grief, if a person rejects the gospel or does not fully embrace it, does that mean they cannot come to their senses and embrace the gospel subsequently? Of course not, the opportunity for salvation remains until a person's heart is hardened, as soil #1, or a person physically dies...

Are you asserting our resurrection to life is not bodily? If not, just what are you posting? Some deny that God elects the lost to salvation by spiritually transferring them out of being "in Adam" and spiritually into Christ's spiritual body. Are you one of those?

The verse 1 Corinthians 15:44 does not indicate the spiritual body refers to Christ's bodily resurrection. The bodily resurrection to life is in view. First we must live physically, i.e. be born of water and spiritually exist in Adam, and then be born anew spiritually by being transferred into...

No one seeks God unless they have been given the grace of God's revelation. I expect, given your name, that what you are unwilling to say outright is your doctrine teaches no lost person is able to seek God until "enabled" by "Irresistible Grace." So you have no answer to the fact 2...

As I have posted many times, "There is none that seeketh after God when sinning. Thus the statement does not suggest no lost person ever seeks God while lost. It is adding to scripture to expand the reach of a statement beyond its intent. Paul was arguing that we are all under sin, that we...

It is more likely the author of Hebrews was addressing born anew, and thus holy siblings in Christ.

Notice how this poster wants to change the subject to me, and not to defend the indefensible. Answer the questions, Sir. If the life given is not eternal, then it could be lost. If a saved person could subsequently lose their salvation, then they perish. No one includes the person saved, thus...

1) I am not a mind reader and neither are you. Do not claim I am drawing unwarranted distinctions. 2) All scripture fits together perfectly, do not claim the doctrine presented by an inspired author only applies to Jews or Gentiles. 3) No one said the body of Christ is earthly bound...

As I said in post #12, the resurrection to life is in view.

LOL, Siblings in Christ do not try to intimidate, embarrass or belittle each other. Your loss of salvation doctrine is false and unstudied nonsense. Did you explain how a person could cease to be born anew? Nope. Did you explain how a person could remove themselves from being "in Christ?"...

With the topic. Talk about obfuscation!!! Once saved, always saved. There is no support anywhere in scripture for the loss of salvation, positional sanctification in Christ. Full stop. Look for the verse that says be careful you do not cause yourself to become unborn anew, not a child of...
