"the world", here, means "all of humanity" The King James says "might", which is a form of the word "may" So verse 17 means that Jesus did not come here to condemn all of humanity, but to make it POSSIBLE for all of humanity to be saved. Will all humanity repent and be saved? No, and neither...

Yes they do: Some claim that one cannot believe on the Lord Jesus unless God "enables" or "regenerates" him first.. Same concept.

No, you're right; it sure isn't. The God of the Bible did not "program" anyone to believe on Him.

"HAL" "Yes Dave" "You are now regenerated." "Wow! I feel REGENERATED!! I can believe in you now, Dave!" "I LOVE YOU Dave!" "Good", Now download the file C/TULIP and, when ready, publish on all networks broadcast on all frequencies." "Yes Dave, why Dave?" "You are one of a few selected...

Several computers, but only the one gets loaded with a "voice recognition" program.

Explain please

Well yeah! Of course those who "believe not" aren't "sheep". But it doesn't say "ye SHALL believe not, because ye are not my sheep" Your lost neighbor down the road doesn't believe either, because he ain't one of God's sheep. But if you go tell him about Jesus, he might just become one. Why was...

Romans chapter 4

I was addressing that to you, not Van. I agree with him; God imputes the righteousness of Christ onto us when we trust Him in faith.

The Bible says that "Abraham believed God" and it was "counted to him for righteousness". And nobody said "human faith INITIATES salvation". On the contrary: the Holy Ghost initiates salvation when He deals with a man's heart. Y'all know that. Or should.

The King James calls Him God's "only begotten" Son. Anyway, how does a lost sinner "believe" on anything? The evolutionist believes in evolution, the Hindus believe they might come back as a cow(so they don't eat any) and Muslims(the sold-out fundamentalists anyway) believe so strongly in their...

I neither 'made your point' nor agreed with it.

I didn't see MSNBC; They should be on the list too.

God "inhabits eternity", so He DOES know who will or will not be saved or who will become apostles. He also knew who would be child molesters and mass murderers. Just because God KNOWS what shall happen does not mean He causes ALL of those things to happen. So, one does not become one of the...

According to the second account(there are three) Paul was not actually "converted" until AFTER he arrived in Damascus. Acts 22 11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus. 12 And one Ananias, a devout man...

He does. He is Not necessarily. We don't know. We do know the Bible says things like God "creates" evil and that He "intended to do evil", for instance, to Nineveh. All "acts of God" like hurricanes, tsunamis, tornados etc. are "evil" because, in the King James, "evil" simply means "bad". Too...

nevermind :)

A child of God DOES have free will, but God chastens us for going our own way. Why? because after a person is saved, he now belongs to God. 1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Simple answer: no Explanation: He sets before us all life and death, blessing and cursing and what He "wishes" to do is to allow men choose life instead of death. And "the life" is in Jesus Christ. Ezekiel 18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make...

The Bible clearly and repeatedly teaches that God "chastens His own" and it says He "scourgeth every son He receiveth". If you are "His own" it's a done deal, but God punishes us when we sin or continue in sin. The verses you posted from Hebrews 10 say nothing about eternal damnation, but do...
