It’s very interesting you are saying this. A few weeks ago the same thought occurred to me.

It seems more and more that accepting homosexuality is what it will take to continue enjoying economic benefits and freedoms. We already see here in the U.S. that some Christian business owners are having their livelihoods threatened if they do…[Read more]

Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…

The last time I checked, a human being is neither a binity or a trinity. To claim that God is a binity or trinity, would end up making the above scripture an untruth.

Was there a conversation that you and I had that I have no memory of? I say that because you are saying “40” this and “hundreds of thousands” that. When did I ever mention numbers to you???
Why do you address me in such a manner?

I’m guessing you do not comprehend what I was getting at. The simple way of putting it is that the chosen were called as were many others. The dividing line occurs when many who are called do not stay faithful. Thus, only a few are chosen (the few who REMAIN faithful unto death) amongst those who have been called.

Nothing circular about…[Read more]

In other words…many are called, but still do not live in Christ or by Christ or for Christ. The ones who DO live in, by and for Christ ARE chosen because they are the righteous ones…they prove they are Sons of God by their obedience to Christ.

“Many are called but few are chosen.”

I think it is quite simple when you really think about it. After contemplation, I realized it could simply mean that even though many are called, not all will obey. The ones that DO obey are the ones that will be chosen.

A reference to the narrow gate, so to speak.

@t8 I have noticed that you say the eighth king is of the seventh, when scripture actually says that the eighth king is of the seven. Your wording implies that the eighth king is directly of the seventh king when scripture says the eighth king is of kings 1-7 (all of them)…not just of the seventh king. I found these commentaries on biblehub,…[Read more]

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.”

Some translations use the word “blessed” and others use the word “happy”. I dare say that those two words do not mean the same thing and can effect someone’s deciphering of the scripture.

Regarding what I feel about the overall meaning of that scripture – I feel that this scripture is saying that we have more freedom in Christ than we may have…[Read more]

I believe the verse/scripture you are referring to is Romans 14:22
