Featured God's desire

Nope, but that what you have conjured up in your mind.

Agreed

The Trinity agreed to the redemption of the chosen people through the Promised One who would be God the Son. As a human, Yeshua was tempted by the daunting task required, but He bowed to the Trinities plan for redemption and victoriously followed the will of the Father.

Honestly, you project what is not true upon me.

This is just a continued projection from your wrong thinking.

Scripture and God are not at odds, unless you teach free will theology, which certainly creates multiple unresolved contradictions that many free will proponents refuse to grasp.
I can understand this as I once was a free will contradictionist who desperately made claims that seemed right, but could not be resolved by scripture alone.

 

God is perfect. It grieves God that man will not humble himself under God's Supremacy. He must lovingly judge this rebellion and damn humans to hell. "But God...even while were dead in our trespasses and sins...made us alive with Christ."
God, by grace alone, saves His chosen, adopted children, and justified them by faith alone.
Synergists create contradictions when they require pre-conditions and human cooperation in order for God to save His children.

Jon, the problem is with your thinking, not with God.

 

You're certainly projecting

Sure I can. God doesn't desire humans to rebel, yet their corrupt nature moves them to rebellion. God justly and lovingly condemns them, yet chooses to redeem those whom He chooses to redeem. It's fully reconciled by scripture. I'm not sure what you're smoking, Jon.

Not at all. I am seeing the God of the Bible who is entirely Sovereign over all His Creation and does as He desires without asking us for our opinion. God reveals that He has mercy upon whom he has mercy and hardens whom He wills.

Tell me where the caricature lies.

Jon, you have followed the path of man-centered philosophers. I'm not going to follow you.

 

Did I say God desires people rebel? Come on, Jon. You are getting all twisted up.
Did I say God takes pleasure in judging the wicked? No. These are all things you are projecting out of your own mind.
I made my case. It's clear you don't actually know what I have claimed as you keep making it up. Keep walking down your rabbit trail, Jon. No one is following, but keep walking.

 

God fulfills His desire. As the context provides, people from all nations, tribes, and tongues as well as people from all status groups are chosen to believe.

Unlike free willers who express a God who only foreknows, but doesn't actively choose, I see in the Bible that God is actively causing people to believe.

The issue comes down to who is the cause and who is the effected in salvation.

The Bible is clear. God causes man to be saved and the effect is mans belief that God saved them.

 

Keep re-writing the Bible, Van. Your translation is garbage, just so you know

 

That verse applies only to all of God's Elect and they all shall be saved and come to know the truth.

 

Your constant misunderstanding of faith and God judging faith afterward instead of seeing faith as righteous because God graciously gave it as a gift is your huge obstacle that you cannot overcome. Consequently you get things all twisted up and wrong. You keep asserting falsehood (Vanology) that God does not assert. I keep praying God knocks some sense into you.

 

I know the Bible, as translated by Van, is no better than the Bible that Thomas Jefferson translated.
