Opinion noted and respected, but yes. :) That would be a no. :) There’s definitely some bad ideas floating around here, yes. And yours are not the only ones. :) Grace and peace to you.

As if I'm not... <eyeroll> The joke was at your expense, Davy, not about God's Word. Wow. I'm not suggesting what you think I'm suggesting. I'm not sure why this is so hard for you to understand, Davy, but again: IN ONE SENSE, all are called... this is the outward general call of the Gospel...

You either missed the fact that I was poking fun at you, or just take yourself way, way, WAY too seriously, or both. Goodness gracious. LOL! Even so, I did mean to point out the silliness of what you said, or at least how you said it. Yeah, so here in Nashville, sometimes we say, "Bless your...

No one is doing that, but what you are doing ~ and you're certainly not alone in doing so ~ is saying that the events of Revelation 19:11-21 are prior to the events of Revelation 20:1-6, which is not the case. The events of Revelation 19:11-21 are the same events ~ described in a little...

You keep going. At this point, I'm sort of interested... well, curious, in a dark way... to see how long I can keep you going. If you can keep from doing it... You mean like we already did? HEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY! Are you telling me what to do? Don't ever do that again! I'll do what I want...

No, but back atcha, and that I know is true, because I see it a lot. :) A lot of posters on here recognize your "ideas" for what they are... Nope. Wait... is that some kind of double negative....? Wait... 'false'... one... 'argues'... two... 'against'... three... So a triple negative...

Sure, we were both repeating, and both ways. You said it yourself. But... <smile> ...you did keep raising the same objections to what I had said (which was in response to things you had said), many times multiple times. So I continued to answer... lest you think I was "ignoring you" or "not...

To you, I guess, so sure, I get that. <smile> Fair enough. There are not "two different groups of believers," Davy. Unless of course we say there are those who are believers now and those who will believe in the future. Paul and the other apostles served a very important purpose in starting...

Right, but my repeating is because of your repeating. <smile> And, you know, in saying that, I'm also talking about something much greater, and very applicable to everything we've been discussing here. Only the... bad... ones... <grin> Agreed. Fantastic! To you also, Spiritual Israelite...

Disagree. One among many: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world..." These are the ones whose name is in the Book of Life of...

Plenty of that to go around, here... <chuckles> If one is to say our God's salvation and forgiveness are contingent on, that it depends on our willing and working ~ which includes our believing, repenting, obeying, and serving ~ then that is exactly opposite the Gospel (what Jesus says to His...

He was. We have been over this many times, and you know where I stand on it, and I know where you stand. But yeah, bring it up yet again... I agree. But what you said before, that "Oh, God is a God of love," seemed to fly in the face of this. And in the context of what we were talking about...

Right, after the point that God gives them a new spirit. Otherwise, they would have never done so. God doesn't force anybody to do anything. God's Israel is not made up of all humanity, no. If that's what you're saying, then we're in agreement on that... but I really can't make out what...

No. All of humanity in its ~ each one in his/her ~ natural state. Adam was the federal head of the human race. Read Romans 5:12 and you should see that: "...just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned." I agree...

Yeah, you being one of them. <smile> I do, because you keep saying the same silly things over and over again. Asking the same questions, raising the same objections, making the same "points"... On and on and on... Grace and peace to you.

It's not about faith ~ the assurance (from God) of things hoped for, the conviction (by the Spirit) of things not seen~ faith is the vehicle through which we are saved (and being saved). It's about the heart and its natural deadness in sin, which means they are naturally at enmity with God ~...

There are a lot of ways Christians can stray or even depart but still be kept by the power of the Spirit. The heart is deceptive above all things, as Jeremiah says. If a person has truly been converted by the Spirit, given new life in Christ, it will never be revoked or rescinded, but we can...

Well I would say it's not so... well, simplistic. <smile> And it's definitely not backwards, which... how you make it out to be, Davy. Not backwards in the sense of "dumb" or "stupid," but in the sense of inverting the order of some things, especially our obedience and good works in relation...

LOL! In speaking of the elect of God, SI, Paul uses Jacob and Esau as examples of... in the larger sense, all those elect of God (Jacob) and all those not elect of God (Esau), and he says, "though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad ~ in order that God’s purpose of...

Right, well, we don't know how many, of course, only that it's an innumerable multitude. But... not everyone. So, yes, because it's true. <smile> You do understand that the very definition of 'remnant' is less than the whole, right? God has preserved for Himself a remnant of the whole of...
