I stand with Israel 🇮🇱 - the Deliverer will come from Zion!
@HanShawnity I stand with Israel because I know God will gather all nations against Israel & God will fight for Israel.
Zech. 12:2-3, 14:2-3
Which means Israel is on the good side, according to Scripture.
Jacob's Trouble is meant to bring Israel to faith in Christ!
Jeremiah 30:7, Zech. 12:10
@Pastor_Gabe When people deny the sovereignty in God over salvation it does make me question their authenticity of being a Christian. Romans 9 is crystal clear. Along with the predestination in Ephesians and Romans 8. The bombshell of Psalm 139:16. He speaks very clearly in His word
@rabbriansamuel Fasting isn't just abstaining from food.
It's being committed to abstain from sinning against God.
People who fast by not eating food, but then devour other people with hatred and quarrels are not fasting at all.
The doctrine of God’s sovereign election doesn’t erase our choice to follow Jesus. If you are a Christian, you chose to follow Him.
But in understanding what the Bible says about election, you recognize that you only chose to follow Him because He first chose you.
A man does not become a Christian by making a decision. He is made a Christian by God, who had marked him out before the foundation of the world and sees to it that he is born again and that he believes in Him.

"I lay down My life for the sheep"
John 10:26-27
"you do not believe because you are not of My sheep"
"My sheep hear My voice, & I know them, and they follow Me"
Jesus died for His sheep whom the Father chose
Ephesians 1:4
John, your argument fails the moment you realize we live in a Creator/Sustainer universe. By using Isaiah 54:15 to claim that strife isn't ordained by God, you’re creating a logical "void" that collapses the biblical view of God’s ultimacy.
If "stirring up strife" is a real event in time and space, it must be sustained by God's power... otherwise, it wouldn't exist. By negating God’s decree over these parts of reality, you're implicitly claiming there's a second ultimate creator who brings these "not from Me" moments into existence independently.
You can’t have it both ways. Either God is the one who "upholds the universe by the word of His power" (Hebrews 1:3), or those who stir up strife are creating their own reality and their own power-to-act out of nothing. Your view turns God into a mere spectator in His own creation, reacting to a second ultimate cause that He didn’t author.
🔑 The Bible solves this by distinguishing between the Ultimate Level (God’s holy purpose) and the Storyline Level (man’s wicked intent). When God says it’s "not from Me," He’s speaking to His moral approval on the storyline level, NOT His sovereign decree.
If you deny His decree, you’ve stopped believing in the one true God and started believing in a second rival creator.
@RevReads289 "God did His part abundantly and beyond measure."
Oh good, so why do we pray to God so that He draws people we love to Himself to be saved?
Since God "did His part" and He's out of the equation?
I do love it when Arminians pray like Calvinists while hating Calvinism.

@BrandonTheAdams@WesleyLHuff So I don't see what's wrong? Do you not want the wicked to be punished? The wicked fall into their own schemes & God laughs.
I love how you quoted only the end of that, so you can take it out of context to say Christian morality is wrong.
Such is the way of God haters like you.
@BrandonTheAdams@WesleyLHuff Righteous judgement of wicked Babylon.
Eye for eye.

How blessed will be the one who repays you
With the recompense with which you have recompensed us.

Did Christmas "add" something which was missing to God's nature?
It seems many Christians think "the baby in the manger" somehow added something to God's sovereignty.
Was not the Son of God always sovereign, always with God, and never created? Was not the Son of God anything other than infinitely-majestic and majestically-infinite?
Of course.
Christmas is not about "something being added" so to speak to the Son of God, but rather, all about God's plan for a Redeemer and King, one and the same. The Son of God became a man to be the one worthy to fulfill God's plan to reign literally on earth over a redeemed people.
This season of Christmas is the perfect time to gain clarity on the above issue.
@Kashif79924564@Metadrene Of course... we're too blind to see what's obvious in the text or in prophecy comparisons where NT authors quote OT prophecy attributed to God as to Jesus.
You know what Immanuel means?
From Hebrew 'Immanu' (with us) and 'El' (God)
Jesus is God with us.

@Metadrene Jesus as God who is Spirit never died.
Jesus as God was there before Abraham.
The body of Jesus died and was made alive again.
The Resurrection of the Body.
Also you need to study Scripture more since you missed Isaiah 9:6 which says of Christ: gib·bōr ’êl Mighty God.
