How DIFFICULT is it to understand..... that we.....have to choose to love God.... He does the saving, YES, but WE HAVE TO WANT TO BE SAVED AND THAT IS ONLY BY ACCEPTING CHRIST AS OUR LORD. A relationship is not a ONE-SIDED THING. God loves us, unconditionally, saved and unsaved (granted, more...

You and I have that different. I believe the opposite. We believe, THEN Jesus changes our heart, giving us a new heart, taking away our heart of stone. You must first have faith, then Jesus will grant you the Holy Spirit and change your heart.

If you're inferring we have a choice to make once after the holy spirit convicts us of our sin, then yes, I agree with you.

OK, fair enough. I agree with you there.

But what about the Bible verse that tells us to 'Love thy enemies'? Why would WE be commanded to do just that and God doesn't have to follow His own rules? -smh-

I wouldn't bar anyone from reading the posts here, because in some of them there is Godly wisdom. But in others, I would say that you just need to guard your heart. If you are truly a follower of Christ you won't get offended by those who call themselves Christians in sheep's clothing but...

OKAY. So basically all I see that you are saying is that God chooses for us, we have NO CHOICE whether we go to hell or go to heaven. This is what I believe, what I believed when I became saved and will forever believe and oh BTW you totally ignored the scipture I presented at the end of my...

You're TWISTING my words and putting words into my mouth and interpreting my words with your screwy interpretation. MAN DOES NOT SAVE HIMSELF. Man must BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED FOR THEM ON THE CROSS AND RECIEVE THE GIFT OF SALVATION THAT JESUS PAID ON TEH CROSS FOR US TO BE SAVED. NO WHERE, NO...

If you're insinuating my lack of salvation, then you need to step back and look at yourself in the mirror. You make utterly NO sense. Can anyone else interpret what this man @Alan Gross is saying here? Nothing what he says adds up. And interesting that just after that verse Jesus says: These...

Just repeating the same thing to me doesn't make your belief that we do not choose to follow God or not of a conscious will is found anywhere in the Bible. Did not Abraham have to choose to have faith in the OT before he was considered righteous before God? Did not Paul have to make a decision...

I don't disagree that believers aren't more highly favored than unbelievers, but God still loves unbelievers. That's what i'm saying. And I don't believe God condemns anyone, unbelievers condemn themselves.

The sad reality though is that I once joined her on some of her outings to ghost hunt. I was foolish and young in my naive beliefs in what those spirits actually was. But I don't know how to tell her to be careful now since I once approved of it myself.

So you DONT agree that God loves the lost, the unsaved, and is, in fact, not a God who said Himself that He is Love. I'll leave you all with the Word of God and I will be on my way. I pray that you hear what it says and understand that God Loves All, regardless of where we end up. 1 John...

Especially my friend who says she's a christian! She's into those Ghost Hunters shows and likes to go 'ghost hunting' I don't know how to tell her that she's only playing around with demonic forces doing that kind of stuff.

But do you believe that God loves us, saved and unsaved, but hates the sin? That is the main question me and the before person were debating.

Amen Brother Yeshua. I agree. I don't want to be angry over debatable scripture when the root of the matter is Jesus is Lord. But I still would like to know what your view is on the above questions, as even a so-called Reformed Anyone can have differing view points to a blanket of what their...

I don't agree with Joel Olsen's teaching's either. (and i've never heard of Benny Hinn) What do YOU believe Yeshua? Have you given your opinion on whether God loves us, sinner and saved, but hates our sin? And that God saves us (I never said that we save ourselves), when we put our faith in...

Too wordy IMO. I don't trust people who have to use a lot of words to get their point across. They start speaking in their own wisdom rather than what the Truth of God's word has to say.

@Alan Gross To say we do not a have a choice to accept God or reject Him is making us seem like robots who are controlled by God and it is God who MAKES us choose to love Him or accept Him. God GAVE US FREE WILL TO CHOOSE. He grants us the Salvation for it is a FREE GIFT GIVEN BY GOD, but WE...

I don't want to read OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS. I want YOUR opinion @Alan Gross Pray that God gives you wisdom to answer, and not to let the devil tempt you to answer in worldly/human wisdom. Does God hate sinners? (unrepentant sinners I am speaking of) Or does He Not?
