Ok, Just explaining how I see it.

I have heard the similar testimony several times. God knew you would believe and He chose the right time and way for you to accept Him, all of His timing. In the end you chose to believe, but you also could have chosen to kept running and refusing. I guess it's an example of the...

Yes, I agree, and they can also be nations. Israel suffers many hardships and loss of life when the Anti-Christ invades them with the armies from many Gentile nations. The goat nations are the ones that, "I was hungry and you gave me no meant (Israel) thirsty, and you gave ne no drink...

That was John Calvin's standard Calvinism. he believed in double predestination. How did God make you a willing subject for Him to drag you in? Do you think it was against your will, or do you think He made it your will.

It's the judgment of the nations that takes place immediately after Christ returns and destroys the Anti-Christ and the armies of the many nations with him. Christ is judging who will enter into His earthly Kingdom of all the nations of the world. All of Israel is saved now as Paul told us...

Ok, just presenting the way I see it. We are not all going to agree and have different views on it.

The general thought of Calvinism is God choosing who will be saved and the rest are left on their own, and since man is totally depraved and God has not opened his heart, they are doomed. The general call you speak of is not a call at all. Those who have not been chosen, according to...

Heb. 3:14 "For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;" We must hold our faith to the end, the end of our sanctification which ends at physical death. This why in 2 Thes. 2:15 Paul tells us to "stand fast." He is showing us how God...

Prov. 1:24-25 "Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:" Man can refuse the call of God to salvation and until you understand this you will continue to believe God has...

Immediately after Paul tells us in 2 Thes. 2:13, he says. 2:14-15 "Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle." Paul is...

It's not about salvation, it's about justice being served on God's word. God has always loved and saved Israel from extinction, and He will fulfill His promise in gathering all who caused harm to Israel and serving justice. Joel 3:2 "I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down...

You have probably heard the old saying, "we are saved, we are going to be saved, and we will be saved. Those are the 3 stages of our sanctification. We are saved by grace through faith and have a position in Christ. We are being conformed in the image of Christ our entire lives on this...

What Paul did mention is "from the beginning God has chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit." Paul is not discussing who God has picked to be saved, but the manner in which believing man will be saved. He has from the beginning chosen man to a certain way of salvation...

I see this a different way, Van. Christ is dividing nations at His Second Coming not individuals, on something they didn't do for Him. Based on what had just happened at His Second Coming, He has just destroyed the Anti-Christ and his armies of many nations joined to together to destroy...

That was quite an insight at that time. He wouldn't be surprised at all with the worlds present situation with Islam.

Isaiah 14:1-2 "For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel...

The Kingdom was offered to Israel at His first coming, but it was not meant to be. He came only to Israel for this offer and Israel was to be a Light unto the Gentiles through Christ. "God will yet choose Israel" the first offer was made that the prophecy may be fulfilled in the future.

No man can come to Christ except the Father draws him. That's how He does it. That's when He's near and you can call on Him for mercy. Isa. 55:6-7 "Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his...

Have you ever been talking to someone about the Word of God, reading it, listening to a sermon, or certain Scripture verses come to mind and you realize you are the reason Christ was nailed on that Cross, or you realize you are separated from God? That's the Holy Spirit breaking through your...

I'll have to muster up the Merry part, but thanks, same for you.
