It might be you making the unwarranted conclusion about what it means for something to be given to us before time began (and before we existed). For instance, if your great-great-grandfather bequeathed an inheritance to his great-great-grandchildren, to be given to them when they reach their...

Yes, He does. Whoever believes in Jesus Christ will be the ones He saves. Whoever is in Christ. Whoever believes the Father sent Jesus. If you want to stake your claim from the foundation of the world, believe on Him today. Because today is the day of salvation. But if God decides someone...

And those that aren’t: Psalm 146:9 (KJV) The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

Being Abraham’s seed makes him their father in one sense, but not in another sense. That was Jesus’s point. God is everyone’s father in one sense (we all came from Adam, and Adam came from God: Luke 3:38 (KJV) Which was [the son] of Enos, which was [the son] of Seth, which was [the son] of Adam...

I appreciate the reply, but it doesn’t appear that you read my post first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe the issue isn’t with the word “all”, but with the word “father”. Indeed, with four instances of “all” in the same verse, there’s plenty of useful context to query. If you’ve assert that “all” in the verse doesn’t mean “all men”, you also assert that God is NOT over all men. But can God be...

The other attorney, Lin Wood, is saying the exact same things Powell was saying. It seems this was done on purpose to allow something that wouldn’t work if she were on Trump’s legal team. Not sure what that might be, though.

I think he already answered that, though he made a typo on the scripture reference: Remember that Paul was answering questions from the Thessalonians about their deceased loved ones, who they were concerned had missed the kingdom of God: [1Th 4:13 KJV] But I would not have you to be ignorant...

If it’s “Hades”, does that affect your theology? Some people restrict “hell” to the lake of fire, or “second death” from Revelation. And it certainly fits, since we are told: Revelation 20:6 (KJV) Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath...

If they’re mean, they are by definition “fat and delicious”. And I try to keep my feet away. My daughter had one push her into the water tank once, though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Rom 9:4 NKJV] 4 who are Israelites, to whom [pertain] the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service [of God], and the promises; Maybe that's because you've never had your own cows before.

I guess I don’t see why those verses in Genesis aren’t helpful to you. They give uses of the word that inform you about the word itself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe it wasn’t a fail at all. Make sure you’re not putting your own meaning into the words. But keep studying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's worth a try.

Yes, but Jesus is saying His Church will. That's "we". He gives us authority; we can ask anything in His name.

Maybe you chose the wrong "chosen", since it is pretty late in the choosing (1st use not until Saul). Here's another possibility: בָּחַר bâchar, baw-khar'; a primitive root; properly, to try, i.e. (by implication) select:—acceptable, appoint, choose (choice), excellent, join, be rather...

Do any of us really place our faith "fully" in the Lord? Wouldn't that be a perfect faith? And if that's the standard, we fall as woefully short as our works do for guaranteeing salvation. It seems like a fully placed faith would never worry, never sin, never doubt, never change our mind about...

"not...exhaustive" meaning that we can add to the application? Sure. But what message do you think He was trying to convey directly to the apostles at the time? In my search, it seemed like most took it to be that the church was on the offensive (we attacking the gates of hell), meaning that we...

That's fine, help me out with it, then.

If that's what Jesus was referring to, how does it apply to the church? Was He saying that the church will overcome the sacrifice of children to the god of pleasure? Or was He saying that the babies thrown into the water there would be saved by the church? It seems to make the application...
