On and on they go, hurling insults right and left, shouting "taint so" but providing no support for the misrepresentation asserted.
First we get the old switcheroo, the verse presents the influence the gospel had on some of the Gentiles, and the nonsense purveyors change the subject to the supernatural action of God performing salvation. This is all they have, insults, change of subject, and absurdity.
Anyone can make up stuff by reading irresistible grace into Acts 13:48, but it is no where to be found in the text. No need to ignore the actual text. Or ignore the lexiconal word meaning. Or ignore how the word is sometimes translated. Verse 46 tells us that some Jews rejected the gospel's direction to eternal life. In verse 48 we see some Gentiles were influenced (acted upon) by Paul's gospel direction to eternal life, and therefore they believed. Supernatural enablement is no where to be found.
But look at their effort, they read irresistible grace into the text, and then defend that malfeasance by pointing to the false theology of total spiritual inability.
Tasso is never used to mean predestination, it is always used to convey being directed to something.
Bottom line, there is no support anywhere in scripture for the bogus doctrines (TULI) of the TULIP. Actus 13:48 provides no support for irresistible grace, but it does support the doctrine of the gospel being the power of God for salvation.
False theology is poured into scripture by misinterpreting ambiguous text. But by allowing scripture to tell us how tasso is used to convey being directed, the actual message is discerned. As many as were directed to eternal life believed.
