:chuckle: Some "Berean" you are, GT.
Did I, or did I not post a link to you to a video that goes into where I am coming from.
It goes into that based Scripture.
You turned it down.
Compare your response to that of those Bereans in Acts 17, who, although they did not right away just take Paul at his word, they did do the following THREE things, in verses 11 and 12...
Acts 17:2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, 17:3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 17:12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
What THREE things did these MORE NOBLE Bereans do, that you failed to, when I posted that link to that video to you and you right out rejected it for what ever reason, you may have, personal or not?
1 - they received the word (the preaching) with all readiness of mind,
2 - and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
3 - Therefore many of them believed;
You, GT, never took step one.
The man in that video did with his audience, what Paul did with his - he "reasoned with them out of the Scriptures...opening and alleging" this TWO-Fold aspect of God's Plan and Purpose.
For the man in that video laid out what he laid out, based on the various passages he pointed out, throughout that great message.
Here that link is again - either do the above Berean thing to do, or go pester someone else about what it is they are talking about, even as you ignore having the whole thing laid out to you masterfully by one of my own.

What say you - are you a true Berean, or just a whole lot of noise? :chuckle:
Acts 17:13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.
Not mad at you, mind you - just Mid-Acts or MAD. :thumb:
Rom. 5:6-8 towards you, GT.
