I do not believe God leaves any person without the ability to hear, understand, and accept the Gospel. Even the most radical Buddhist, atheist, ect, will somehow, some way have the right circumstances come about in their life where they can either make the right decision or the wrong decision...

Back to the point I made earlier, did the Apostles ever include the doctrine of predestination when they were witnessing to the Jews and Gentiles? No, they didn't. That being said, when one does comes to faith in Christ, predestination will inevitably come up when they start to study the...

Whether or not you want to say goats can become sheep is irrelevant. The Pauline and pastoral epistles are directly addressed to believers, those who are Christ's sheep. In that context, it makes it much easier to fit election into a man-made systematic theology. Then we have the Book of Acts...

Good point. Jesus did say he who has ears let him hear. Everyone has ears to hear but it doesn’t necessarily mean that they will want to listen to what they hear.

Where did I say His people were only the Jews in Israel?

Who are we to put first in our life, Christ or our family? Israel was God’s chosen people and received blessings, not Edom. I think it’s safe to say that God loved one more than the other.

First of all, ‘love’ and ‘hate’ are being used comparatively, not literally. Jesus used this Hebrew idiom in His teachings. Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple...

Matthew 1:21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins. I understand it the be limited in the sense that He will atone for only those who come to faith in Him. At the same time… Acts 17:30 In the past God overlooked such...

Then you are by definition a Hyper-Calvinist if you think evangelization is a waste of time. Yes, God does the work of regenerating the lost, but he also has ordained us as the instruments to accomplish His purpose. I guess in your case, you have been ordained to be lazy.

Now you’re stating to sound like those Hyper-Calvinists that would say there’s no reason to go out preaching the Gospel to every creature, even though we are commanded to. Sure, let’s all sit at home and let God do the work. No need for evangelization, no need for missionaries, I guess you...

Romans 9:13 As it is written, “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated. This is the key to understand the whole thing. "As it is written" means that Paul is referring to Old Testament. Malachi 1:1-4 The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi. “I have loved you,” says the Lord...

That, and I can think of a couple people that use this as a platform solely to express their hatred towards our president it seems like.

What about those giant skeletons found in that cave in Nevada?

I would say that God does respond to people making choices but He does not change His mind in such a way as to alter His plan. We can speculate whether or not Moses would have intervened. I think it’s possible that he may not have. It doesn’t mean that it would have somehow destroyed the...

Okay. Thanks for having my back.

This is true, whether you believe in limited atonement or not, the Gospel message that we are to share with others remains exactly the same. It makes me wonder if God would approve of us debating over little things like this when we could be using this same energy to witness to the lost.

I’m not quick to ignore anyone… only if the attacks become personal and unwarranted.

I know you didn’t, I’m saying that’s why I don’t. It wasn’t an accusation against you.
