The children of Israel were in the Old Testament, the ELECT of God, the APPLE OF HIS EYE, and HIGHLY FAVORED over ALL the nations of the earth. YET, they were REJECTED by the Lord, because they REJECTED Him! You think that we are any better than they? Read Romans 9-11 to see what Paul says about...

The Epistle of Hebrews was written not to Jews, but Jewish Christians. Paul refers to the rebellion of the children of Israel against God in the OT, as an example for ALL believers, 3:6, starts with the words, TAKE CARE BROTHERS, which are used ONLY for true believers. The rest spoken of is not...

I have three passages from the Bible in the OP, care to tell what the other two refer to? What of Hebrews 10:26-31? "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery...

Your Scripture references do not deal with the quotes that I have given, but avoided doing that! Answer the three passages that I have given in the OP.

so, is God the cause of their wills rejecting Jesus Christ, indirectly?

Jesus Christ came to save the whole world, but those who "believe", will only be saved. See what verse 18 says, "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God" And, verse 36, "Whoever...

can you provide Scripture for this?

it would appear from the context, that the Lord is speaking of the Book of eternal life. Psalm 69:28, "Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; let them not be enrolled among the righteous" Philippians 4:3, "Yes, I ask you also, true companion, help these women, who have labored...

"But the LORD said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot out of My book" Can this passage of rebellion against the Lord God of the Bible, which is a "great sin", ever refer to someone who is a born-again believer? Hebrews 3:12 has another interesting verse of believers; "Take...

so what Biblical distinction do you see with the use of these Greek words for "will"? I do not mean what "theology" says, but what the Bible actually teaches?

JOHN 3:16 - FOR GOD SO LOVES THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE

You say that "God has no free will". So, who exactly restrains Him? Yes, God does not lie, or do any evil, etc, but, this is to do with His Holy nature and character and nothing to do with His ability. He is bound by His Holy nature, which is Perfect in every way, and cannot include any wrong...

Shows that YOU don't read what the passage in 2 Peter actually says. There are two readings of the Greek text here, the first being, "towards US", and the second, "towards YOU" (the best reading textually). The former is addressed to the Christians to whom Peter is writing. the second, to those...

The problem with "Calvinism/Reformed" theology, is that it is based more on mans suppositions than what the Bible teaches. It presents a false view of what the Gospel as taught in the Bible actually says, by restricting its impact on just the "elect". It misuses Scripture by producing arguments...

There are two very fundamental errors in Reformed theology that just does not agree with the teaching of the Holy Bible Firstly, because the Bible says that "God is willing that none should perish", it is wrongly assumed by Reformers that if God so desires this, then God will get this. And...

maybe so, but much of Calvinism is a sham as it really does not desire that the entire world gets saved, even though this is God's own heart, and therefore by some "duty" say they preach to the entire world to be saved, when they don't even believe it! God is Almighty and fully able to do...

Yep, you are right, I misread my own question! :D

are you a hyper-calvinist?

what you quote does not deal with the eternal punishment of the wicked

You say that you are a "Five Point Calvinist", which takes the name of John Calvin as the basis of these 5 points. Yet Calvin himself on John 3:16 is very much ignored or disregarded by most who claim to get this teachings from him, as they bear his name for these doctrines. These are his...
