God wants all to be saved BF? 1Ti 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 1Ti 2:4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. Are you saying Jesus got it wrong. Or just perhaps there is another reason that not all men are saved?

Yes He did send Christ to seek and to save those that are lost. We also see this in John 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. Now if we went by what you have said then God only thinks some people are lost, are...

You made the same point I have made on here more than once, that Christ is the Elect One and we are only elect when we are in Him. But as I am sure you will see, those of the C/R view will disagree with that. If Paul had used the words "through Him" which is the intent of Eph 1:3-14 but he did...

Well what you posted does not align with what we know of God's desire for all to come to repentance so Ya it does seem like you are suggesting something that is not biblical.

BF are you suggesting that God changes their minds for them? If that were the case then way has He not done that for all of humanity since His desire is for all to come to a knowledge of Him and be saved. The context does not support your view in either of the verses that you reference. In...

It would seem that you and I have approached the study of God's word in much the same way. Where we do differ in that I will read commentaries as I do not know Greek or Hebrew. I do value the insights of those that God has gifted but what they write is not inspired but can be helpful. I grew...

I understand what you are saying here, "That the man that came in, came in without a garment:". I agree that he came in without a garment but he would have been invited. We can see this in Mat 22:9 "and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast." We do not see any exclusion in those...

No hostility intended Dave. If you get that from my disagreeing with your view and pointing out the errors in it then that is only from you reading hostility into my comments. I can agree with much of what you said here Dave but then you go and read your religious views into the text rather...

@Dave G and here is where we disagree. You see the man without a wedding garment as one who was not part of the "elect" from before the foundation of the world. The text as I see it does not support that view. We see that God has given each guest a garment but the man thrown out it would seem...

@Dave G we do disagree on a number of things but on this we do agree. The garments do represent the salvation that all those that will freely trust in God will receive. The invitation of the gospel is for all whether Jew or Gentile, both evil and good that the wedding hall may be filled.

Repentance is something that the man must do as God does not do it for them. God does not just hear the words, He also looks at the heart. Anyone who has a sincere desire to come to Jesus Christ for forgiveness will be saved. To that we can see in Act 17:30 "Although God overlooked the...

Patching together out of context verses does not help you BF. What you are doing is no different than the WoF charlatans. You are not trusting the whole word of God but yourself.

You cherry pick out of context verses or parts of verses that you think support your view and come up with things like your "spiritual hearing" which is not biblical. So the only one playing games with the word of God is you BF. I just point out the errors of your view.

Jahweh vs Allah

You have the weirdest way of understanding the word of God that I have ever come across. You are going to have a real hard time explaining your strange theology when you stand in front of Jesus. You have made up a religion that has nothing to do with scripture as written by the Holy Spirit.

Well BF if it is not scriptural then why do you use it? This does seem to be a habit of yours. Make things up and then when you are called on it just say you do not care what the word of God say. So it is no the bible you believe but yourself.

When you find a view that requires you to twist words and verses to make them fit that view then you need to be suspect of the validity of that view. What L. Flowers said regarding Calvinism points out the problem with that view. If C/R is an error: The reason most Christians reject it is...

I have found over time that @Dave G does not like to engage with those that do not hold the same views as he does. It is unfortunate that he has chosen to do this as he looses out on the opportunity to find correction and to grow.

So only the justified/saved can hear with faith but if that were true then your saying that a person is justified/saved before they even believe. Where do you find the in scripture BF? Paul was quite clear in a number of verses that we have to believe the gospel first not after we are saved...

BF I did a search of all the bibles I have and could not find that "spiritual hearing" that you say people need to have. Since it is not in the bible where did that idea come from BF? And if it is not biblical why do you hold to it?
