Redefining Draw to mean God uses a Tractor Beam.

If you are going to ignore or misrepresent my posts, there is little incentive to respond.

1) No verse or passage says nobody understood the gospel. Thus an assertion without support.

9) Take a look at the OT saints who obtained approval during the period of the mystery of Christ.

I gave you Scripture that makes it clear the Mystery of the Gospel was not revealed in prior Ages.

The simple fact is that there are numerous passages, not just verses, that make it clear the Mystery of the Gospel of Jesus Christ was not revealed to men prior to this Age.

Nothing is ignored, just pointing out that points #1 & 9 not only conflict, you make the statement concerning men that "obtained approval" during "the period of the mystery of Christ."

Am I to conclude that you are making this up...or are you nullifying point #1?

If there is "no verse or passage that says nobody understood the Gospel,"...on what then do you base point #1?




God bless.

The fact is nobody suggested Christ was not a mystery. Your assertion is nobody understood the gospel even during Christ's and His disciples ministry before the cross. No verse or passage supports this fiction.
I gave you the example of the thief on the cross. But take a gander at Luke 10:20 where at least some of the seventy disciples were saved.

Again, you seem to make assertions without support in scripture. Speculation is the mother of mistaken doctrine.
