Ephesians 2:1-10. What Does Paul Say?

You are working hard to create a narrative so your house of cards won't fall.

The text is clear that God orchestrated who would come to listen and who would believe.

Why do you fight against God's Sovereign will being accomplished? Do you wish to have that authority for yourself?

I suggest you read what God says and believe it rather than continually looking for an alternative narrative that fits your preconceptions.

 

2 Thessalonians 2:13-14.

 

I'll go with the Textus Receptus reading found here:

You are free to doubt it if you wish.

 

I know the truth when I see it, and I ignore anything that corrupts or seeks to corrupt the Bible that I have in my hands.

Again, you're free to doubt God's words if you wish, sir.

I would point out that that is what it seems to me that you are doing, with all due respect.
I quoted a verse that answered your statement ( not once but twice ), and instead of agreeing with the words on the page, you simply introduced doubt as to whether or not the words were even legitimately God's words.

I find that to be very interesting, if not a bit disheartening.
