JESUS paid the sin debt of the world. If the penalty for sin is paid for why would a just GOD choose some and not all for salvation? The reason is, the debt is paid but the pardon is offered only to those that repent of their sin and receive JESUS as thrir LORD and SAVIOR through FAITH in HIM as GOD the SON and HIS willing Sacrifice at the cross. Those that do not repent and receive JESUS are not pardoned and are judged for their sin even though the debt has been paid. One can only receive the pardon from the one paying the debt. THE WORLD HAS NO MORE SIN DEBT, THE CROSS AND SHED BLOOD OF JESUS SETTLED THAT ISSUE!!!
This does not mean each person's sin is gone, just the required debt or penalty for the sin. Accepting JESUS through FAITH is the free Pardon for All, but one has to come to JESUS willingly to receive the Pardon.
Man chose to rebel in the garden and man's sin separated man from GOD.
GOD'S SOVEREIGN solution to man's sin debt was to offer a Pardon through JESUS, but that pardon has to be a choice to accept the pardon offered.
All who are pardoned, abiding in JESUS, are predestined to be conformed into HIS likeness.
JUSTIFICATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS.
JESUS stands at the door and knocks. Who will choose to open the door and receive HIM?
If only humans have free will, how do we then account for satan?
Truth is truth and GOD is the author of Truth.
The Torah is truth but that does not mean that there are no other sources of truth.
If you were to look at any news or books written on antisemitism or look at what Hitler did in ww2 you would automatically know that information is true, it's not Torah, but it is still true. You know that because you haved lived it and experienced its effect on your life.
What I have told you previously I believe to be true. The sources of the information remarkably do not come from mainstream christianity. It mainly started to manifest slowly around 1999, 2000. In some christian circles the information has grown but most christians have no clue about what I told you.
The fact that you or they not knowing about or believing the information does not make the information untrue.
Alot of christians do not realize that Israel is the GOD of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob's CHOSEN people.
Why? Because way back when through demonic infiltration the 1st century christian churches set up by the Apostles, who were Jewish, moved to separate christians from jews by changing the Sabbath to the first day of the week, by changing from the Hebraic calendar to the gregorian calender, and by language and custom. This was mainly done by constantine and the papacy of rome.
Most Christians have no clue about the Feast Days of THE LORD.
If you don't believe in YESHUA alot of this gets harder to explain.
You are one of GOD'S Chosen people and Have a Blessed Day in that knowledge.

With regard to the debate between Calvanists and Provisionists, What is Paul saying here?
1 Corinthians 9:27
"But I keep control of my body, and bring it into subjection, lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway"
The issue that is confusing to most about the rapture teaching as most think it refers to when JESUS returns as a Warrior, THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS when JESUS does battle with the enemies of GOD and then sets up the Millennial Kindom that lasts 1000 years.
The rapture is not that event. The rapture is a sudden calling away with JESUS Appearing in the clouds and receiving The Bride of Christ then leaving this earth and going to heaven for 7 years to escape the Great Tribulation. Paul refers to the sounding of the last Trumpet. Paul also says this event is a mystery because those that are alive when this happens will not experience physical death and be called away in the same manner as Enoch and Elijah.
Christians who are familiar with the Jewish Feast Days believe this may occur on Rosh Hashanah or The Feast of Trumpets. This is a 48 hour fall feast on the Jewish calendar of 1 Tishri.
The last Trumpet blown during this feast is supposed to signify GOD'S Mercy and Judgement to come down at the same time.
Btw, in 2026, the Feast of Trumpets begins on our calendar on Friday September 11th at sundown.

angels that kept not their first estate "The angels that left their first estate" refers to fallen angels who rebelled against God, abandoned their proper heavenly positions of authority, and are now held under divine restraint awaiting final judgment.
Biblical Context The Passage: This phrase comes from Jude 1:6 in the New Testament: "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day".
A very similar description appears in 2 Peter 2:4, which describes God casting sinning angels down to hell and delivering them into chains of darkness.
The exact same wording (bษnรช hฤสพฤlลhรฎm) occurs only in:Genesis 6:2 and 6:4
Job 1:6 and Job 2:1
A very close form without the article (bษnรช ฤlลhรฎm) appears in Job 38:7. In the Job passages the beings stand before Yahweh in heaven (Satan is among them in Job 1โ2), so the phrase is widely understood there as heavenly beings or members of the divine council.
Genesis chapter 6 describes fallen angels that sinned by taking wives all whom they chose.
The rest of the story I have already explained. This is very researchable.
Blessings in your endeavors
Murder in the name of JESUS, No different than the early Papacy.
How many would do the same right now "to protect the sanctity of the Church?" GOD does not need our help. HIS WILL BE DONE!
Self examination is a constant reality that All Believers must perform daily.
May GOD through JESUS and the HOLY SPIRIT put down this strife and prepare HIS Bride unified as we await the return of our SAVIOR and LORD JESUS. IN HIS MIGHTY NAME I PRAY.
The evidence that is says that is the flood and the reason for the flood. Also the reason for Greek and Roman mythology to include other ancient cultures.
Noah found Grace in the eyes of THE LORD because he was perfect in his generations.....
Meaning undefiled by the fallen angels that procreated the nephalim hybrids in the enemy's attempt to defile the bloodline that would lead to JESUS THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.
But, if you believe none of that is true, you have that right. Sincerely Have a Blessed Day.
It's worse. We, who are believers, are not the robbers in the parable. The robbers represent nonbeliever sinners "who's eyes are not yet opened". The true crime is not sinners being sinners it's believers choosing to ignore the one needing help. See the passages concerning the separation of the sheep and the goats. The goats think they are sheep and are serious church people. JESUS can look upon the sinner with compassion because they are dead in their sin, the entire reason for the cross. They need Redemption. Those that are Redeemed are to live according to the Commands and example of JESUS through the Fruits of the Spirit. That means if you see someone in need and you can meet that need, to intentionally not meet that need becomes sin. That's why JESUS Commands to Love and pray for your enemies and to do Good to those that hate you.
In light of this How can anyone justify the disrespectful display on boths sides of this debate amongst GOD'S people. The Scripture will speak for itself.
What you are excluding in your hypothetical example is why were some pardoned and some not. The Pardon is for everyone, but only obtained by those that repent of their sin and surrender in belief and Faith in JESUS. The sin debt of the world is Paid for by JESUS. If one does not have "Godly Sorrow that leads to Repentance" then their sin remains on them and no Pardon is received.
@kylegpeters@CherylSchatz@DineshDSouza@HomeAndHandy The cross teaches redemption is available to everyone, even those in the act of murdering JESUS.
"FATHER, forgive them, they know not what they do"
The sin debt of the world has been paid by JESUS.
"It is FINISHED"
