Is shown from those that proclaim man is not able to choose life, or anything right.
They proclaim that Jesus died only for his elect, even though The word of God says whosoever believeth on him shall have everlasting life.
Jo 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
2nd cor 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
I Love you PJ,I would have lunch and or dinner with you,if you were closer.
I am not a Calvinist.
I have never believed in what Calvinists believe.
I do believe Grace can be resisted,everytime I sin,do I not resist the Grace of God that teaches me to say no to ungodliness.Titus2:11-12 .....Jonah 2:8(NIV=Grace).
PJ,before you begin to think someone is something,that they may not be,please ask that persone what the believe,before you tear them a new you know what..
I do not read commentaries,nor do i read or have ever read any so called Theologians works.

Therefore the study of God and His word.
When I had lived in Philadelphia,Pa.(Also known as Filthadelphia)we had a saying about Seminary.

So I go to Cemetary to learn to read a Commietary.
