John

Love the reality of Jesus more than words
written or spoken
But still love both

@CovenantReform2 @RBM7211 @DrFrankTurek Why do people always think the Gospel is about them?
It's the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Were called to die to self
not "get saved"
Salvation is through faith, trust in Christ
Work out our Salvation with Godly fear & trembling
If you don't do it with Him
you're probably not with Him

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@Danuscript @1984_nate Nothing of a kind
It is about Gods choosing to save the Gentiles while addressing the Jews objection to it
Faith vs works is a Reformed obsession
That seems to be all they can see can see in the Bible
There's a lot more in it
A story that has context

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@TheGadFlyRising @HwsEleutheroi @DrFrankTurek I think I have said all I need to say Sorry you don't get it

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@TheGadFlyRising @HwsEleutheroi @DrFrankTurek Then we must both be doing the same thing

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@TheGadFlyRising @HwsEleutheroi @DrFrankTurek Except all the ones that obeyed God and were declared righteous e.g. Job, Abraham Noah https://t.co/HoLTJVY91b.
By the way I've been reading scripture and following Jesus over 45 years I know what I am doing Prov. 3:5-6

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@CovenantReform2 @RBM7211 @HwsEleutheroi @DrFrankTurek Accuser of the brethren? I am neither intentionally obfuscating, Nor a liar with a man-centered ideology in which everything depends on human choices not God
I just just love Jesus &believe the stories in the Bible where men work with God & respond to Him to achieve His purpose

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@TheGadFlyRising @HwsEleutheroi @DrFrankTurek 🤣🤣🤣
Think first
I often wonder when I hear Calvinists say this if they know what a Universalist believes

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@TheGadFlyRising @HwsEleutheroi @DrFrankTurek A comprehensive and fundamental law, doctrine, or assumption e.g. Doctrines of Grace Not the reality being described

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@TrevorDavi89171 @NOALYYYYY @HwsEleutheroi @DrFrankTurek Doesn't matter that the rest of the Bible suggests otherwise

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@Red_River_D @RisingDisciples @OzMarquezz But not the creation of reprobates

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@TheGadFlyRising @HwsEleutheroi @DrFrankTurek Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into THE WORLD & death through sin so death spread to all men WHY? because all sinned
Jesus died for our sin because the fruit of OUR sin is death and He died in our place
Its personal
Christ died for each of us not for a principle

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@CovenantReform2 @RBM7211 @HwsEleutheroi @DrFrankTurek The whole chapter is about God calling the Gentiles
Why mercy?
Same for everybody
God is merciful
He is Love
He is not partial
nor unjust

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@RBM7211 @HwsEleutheroi @DrFrankTurek I understand why you think that but if you dig into the STORY being told by Paul and not just the scriptures taken out of context you will find it means something different

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@RBM7211 @HwsEleutheroi @DrFrankTurek For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God
1 Cor. 2:10

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@TrevorDavi89171 @NOALYYYYY @HwsEleutheroi @DrFrankTurek Not when read in context

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@CovenantReform2 @RBM7211 @HwsEleutheroi @DrFrankTurek Salvation is not mentioned
IT IS NOT THERE
It is talking about God's specific purpose in specific situations
Romans 9 is talking about why God saved the Gentiles
to Jews who thought it was only for them
- Just like Elect Calvinists

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@TheGadFlyRising @HwsEleutheroi @DrFrankTurek Doctrines of Grace are doctrines of Man The scriptures themselves tell a different story When you believe the Doc. of Grace you see them everywhere when you put them aside you will find they are not there I now find I cannot read scripture without finding stories that refute them

[John @JohnChChNZ]

@HwsEleutheroi @DrFrankTurek You have Nothing to argue but your theology
Your portrayal of your Sovereign God is nothing like the Father Jesus revealed in the Gospels and you demean the love of God in the sacrifice of Christ who died for all
Reinterpret the scripture to fit your doctrine at your peril
