@rootcausesleuth@pastorscottc@Soteriology101 Your failure to understand the Bible and criticism to those who have is your problem. I'm at rest knowing it's the Father who drew you to the Son, whether you like it or not. ๐
@DineshDSouza May I suggest some...study on the subject, sir? You clearly have not done your homework, for your objections have been answered, fully, for...well, over a thousand years.
Unsaved person: โWhat must I do to be saved?โ
The Bible: โBelieve in the Lord Jesus, and you will be savedโ (Acts 16:31).
A Calvinist: โBelieve in the Lord Jesus, and you will be savedโ (Acts 16:31).
You are saved by faith in Christ alone (Eph. 2:8). No Calvinist denies this.
@WWURD_Official John 6, not can come to me unless the Father draws them to me. Acts 13:48 those who were appointed to eternal life believed. Romans 8:30, eph 1:5-14 many proofs
@WWURD_Official Woe to you, Paul elaborates the same thing and is referring to Gentiles not other tribes. (Eph. 2:11-3ff, Col 1) Looks like you part of the Hebrew Israelite heresy
@WWURD_Official John 10:16 ESV โ And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.
@WWURD_Official Acts 18:9-10 ESV โ And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, โDo not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.โ
@DineshDSouza No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, said Jesus. It's the Father that in mercy that draws some to be saved. We all don't deserve a thing.
@samueleyekosi Just because u can't see them doesn't mean they aren't happening. They are. But the big difference is that miracles were signs to authenticate that Jesus was from God and that the Apostles had been sent of God. It's not something that was happening pm daily basis.
@DineshDSouza They don't believe because they are born sinners by nature. God didn't make Adam fall. God only quickens, makes alive. By default we are responsible for our fall. It's mercy if we are made spiritually alive
