It justs mentions the saints. We should know from common-sense that people come from the nations, afterall, where else would they live? Of course the saints come from the nations. “of all nations”
Hi ACC,
Indeed the saints are drawn from the nations as a people chosen and set apart.
So now there are saints …and the gentile nations.1Peter 2
” 9But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;10Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. “

You say: “so now there are saints …and the gentile nations”. Not so, the “saints” are chosen of God, from the gentiles and Jews.
1 Peter, and his other letters were for the dispersed Jews scattered amongst the nations. See the last verse:25 For you were as straying sheep, but now you turned back to the Shepherd and Supervisor of your souls.
He (God) does the chooseing. See Eph.1:3-4. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who blesses us with every spiritual blessing among the celestials, in Christ,
4 according as He chooses us in Him before the disruption of the world, we to be holy and flawless in His sight,Then please show me a “post” that I gave, that you concider that does not weigh against the truth. I find that you accuse me often of something I have never said. Unless you have proof, I think you are guilty of “bearing false witness”. Your credibility is going down the drain with your false accusations.
Again, & again & again. Please refer with a quote any doctrine you say I said. Trying to discredit me with your false accusations is getting pretty low, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Hi,
God is love.
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE gave HIS MONOGENES SON
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life, life that is in the Son.
For God did not SEND the Son to judge the world but that the world might be saved through him.Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 11 2007,21:50) Hi,

Yes. God the Father's Son the Lord Jesus Christ was sent to seek and to save that which was lost.
