Understanding John 1:12-13

[Van]

Ever wonder why the same false claims are made over and over, but never once do the false claimers address the rebuttal scripture.

Lets take the false claim about a person who is dead in their sin. Calvinism falsely claims they are unable to seek God or trust in Christ because they are dead. However, when we consider Matthew 23:13, we see people who are "dead in their sin" actually in the process of entering the kingdom of heaven. But, false teachers prevent them from going in. So, first, the claim "dead in their sin" people are unable to seek God is a material false statement. Second, those entering were NOT being compelled by "Irresistible Grace" because they were prevented from completing their entry.

Yet another bogus off topic post addressing me. No one is regenerated until they are transferred into Christ, thus they are made alive (regenerated) together with Christ, Ephesians 2:5. I have gone over this point many times, but not one Calvinist even addresses this truth.

How is it bogus ? I showed you from the OT scriptures Ezk 36:26-27

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Its God that causes one to approach Him Ps 65:4

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

God causes or draws us near, and notice also its His chosen, elect

On and on, now misrepresenting "of My sheep" as it it did not point to the fields white for harvest, is the bogus claim.

Again Jesus makes it plain, if you were a sheep you would believe in me and follow me and hear my voice. So hearing believing and following Jesus Christ is a benefit and effect of being His Sheep that He lay down His Life for Jn 10:15. All this maneuvering you doing to change the text isnt good.
