Again this shows our part and God's part. God will never fail to do his part. That doesn't mean we can't fail him. This is a promise that God doesn't fail us, not that we can't fail. The only reason you read it that way is because of Calvinist presuppositions.

Not even close.

Spell check? The verse in Timothy is by the same author and makes it clear that the clay has to decide to be cleaned. Did Paul contradict himself or are you misunderstanding what he said? And God chose Jacob over Esau for a job, not for salvation. And pharaoh hardened his own heart. Sure God...

Neither of those verses support what you claim. One merely looks back at what God has done for the saints. Those God knew in times past ( those who agreed to be his) he chose to be confirmed to Jesus' image. There's nothing there about man's will not playing a part. There's nothing that says...

So you have God forcibly changing people's hearts in order to save them... where is that in scripture? It's not.

Too bad it isn't biblical huh? But you only have to think about it for about two seconds to realize that if Calvinism is true, the pre-chosen is never lost... It's impossible for him to die in his sins, can't happen.

I have no idea what you are going on about. I never said anything about logic.

I've read it more times than that already. It's still not about unconditional election. He had much patience with his people Israel so that he could spread the good news of the gospel to everyone. "In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some...

What a mature response.

I just did. Maybe you missed it. God said he did everything necessary for his elect people, the Jews, but they still rejected him. The Bible doesn't support Calvinism.

Pride goes before a fall. The only thing you should love and boast about is Jesus.

So you believe in double predestination? Not only that God chooses some individuals but deliberately creates others for the sole purpose of damnation? Good thing you won the lottery, huh? Or did you? How could you ever really know? Perhaps God is just messing with you only to dump you into hell...

Only in context, Romans 9 doesn't prove anything of the sort. Do you really take your whole theology from a few verses ripped out of the middle of an explanation about how God dealt with the Jew and gentiles and make it about you?

These verses are about Israel. Why do you keep quoting verses that don't support what you are claiming?

Prove a negative? First show me where you get your theology from. Unless you have evidence Calvinism is correct, from the scripture itself, no one has to prove you wrong.

That's just Calvinism. Not scripture.

Lol, Calvinists contradicting themselves. Gotta love it.

So every Jew ever will be saved?

Of course we can choose to believe or not. It's all through scripture. So is God complaining about people doing things he didn't want. "He then urged the children of Israel to make a commitment, which he had made for himself and for his family: "Choose you this day whom ye will serve; . . . but...

Why would we have to be told not to talk back to God? Didn't you read the verse you posted? "Who are you to talk back to God?" The truth is that everyone talks back to God. That's where sin comes from. Yes, God has the right to do as he wills. That doesn't mean he always gets what he wants...
