    Understanding God’s election

    Romans 9 ... 10 And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac 11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), IMO, Paul is...

    Understanding the Incarnation

    Jesus was referring to when He was the Word (John 1:1, John 1:14) Please, forget the garbage you were taught in the churches, and just believe the Holy Scriptures. Do you have any idea of God's opinion of (most of) today's churches in North America?

    Understanding God’s election

    The archangel Gabriel said to the virgin Mary: “And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus … The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be...

    IMO, nothing in Scripture even hints at this. If you think there is, please show us.

    Understanding God’s election

    Sorry, but I thought he was objecting to me calling some people "the elect".

    Understanding God’s election

    "The Lord opened her (Lydia's) heart to heed the things spoken by Paul." (Acts 16:14) God opens the hearts of many people ... so they can believe! Butski, sorry to have to tell you ... He doesn't open everyone's heart.

    Understanding God’s election

    OK, no need to call anyone "the elect"! Paul mostly calls them the "chosen and called" when he addresses the churches in several of his epistles.

    Understanding the Incarnation

    Don't confuse The Word (who was God) ... with ... Jesus (who was both God and Man). BEFORE the Incarnation ... Jesus wasn't in Heaven with the Father, and the Son of God wasn't in Heaven with the Father. In the virgin Mary's womb, there was a human fetus ... due to the miraculous work of the...

    Understanding God’s election

    What do you think about Lydia's experience in Acts 16:14? God had to intervene so she could believe in Jesus and the Gospel. It seems logical that she has not been the only one to need the same help!

    Understanding the Incarnation

    Let’s investigate and see if we can possibly get a solid understanding of the Incarnation (birth) of Jesus Christ. You will see below … In the beginning, the Members of the Holy Trinity were God the Father, God the Word, and God the Holy Spirit. Many churches teach that the Son of God (Jesus...

    Understanding God’s election

    “… no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.” (Luke 10:22) Do you remember reading the NT verses that teach us … -- God the Father reveals the Truth of the Gospel to whomever He chooses. -- God the...

    Understanding God’s election

    I have not swamped the OP with a lot of Scripture quotations, but hopefully you will recall the NT verses which confirm the following … Man is doubly incapable of believing in Jesus and the Gospel 1 – Because of the disobedience (sin) of Adam and Eve, all humans are born with an inherited sin...
