I wish that there were perspectives added into this kinds of conversations about the consequence of the lack of judgement, when such was expected [by God] to be rendered. For example: Eli has offended God by not dealing with his son's behavior. What was God in fact expecting from him? Would Eli's condemnation of his sons' actions lead to his own condemnation by God? It does not appear so. As such, does condemnatiom has a place in righteousness?

Who is the one man that is now the High Priest of the New Covenant that can "baptize" a person into the Body of Christ? A person must be "baptized" to be saved, but it has nothing to do with water. Baptism of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament: Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Mar 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. Luk 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: Joh 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. (Which baptism occurred on the Day of Pentecost, based on the words of Jesus here?) Act 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 1Co 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, (Is this “baptism” water or the Holy Spirit?) Heb 9:10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. (The word “baptisms” is used in some translations)

Why I'm not a Calvinist.....I think that this mindset is very FEAR based (whether one knows it or not). This doesn't mean that all Calvinists are operating out of fear. But when it comes to questioning God's goodness (whether i am able to be accepted and loved by Him) I experienced this raw fear, firsthand. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. Literally, it can have the ability to stop me dead in my tracks, and paralyze me, not productive for God, not for others or myself. Questions like this arise: What if I'm really not chosen? Is it a 50/50 chance? Is it one in a million chance? Am I only kidding myself that I'm God's elected? So my trust in God diminishes. The devil doesn't want me to turn to the Lord, does he? Surely not! God plants seeds....and NOT like this: If I'm not predestined for heaven then nothing i can do will change this. I could be damned for eternity! What can arise from this: Helplessness and hopelessness. Folks, that is a terrifying, horrific concept, and I i know that I am not unique to this fear and doubt ( not the first or last person) Some are just too afraid to admit their fear for fear (again) of being told that they have no faith

The title of this video asks a question that the video does not answer directly. Does God choose to save some but not others? This video indicates the answer is "yes" but never states this clearly. If you're gonna buy into Calvinism, you need to follow it to its logical conclusion...that God arbitrarily saves some while condemning others. Or you can embrace the biblical teaching that God desires all to be saved and one is saved or condemned based on their acceptance or rejection of the free gift of God in Christ.

My whole life should be a testimony to the triumph of grace. Speaking of the grace of God, I once said that no greater gift has been bestowed by God. For ‘the Lord knoweth them that are His;’ and ‘as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God,’ but by grace, not by nature. For there is but one Son of God by nature, who in His compassion became Son of man for our sakes, that we, by nature sons of men, might by grace become through [Christ] sons of God. For He, abiding unchangeable, took upon Him our nature, that thereby He might take us to Himself; and holding fast His own divinity, He became partaker of our infirmity, that we, being changed into some better thing, might, by participating in His righteousness and immortality, lose our own properties of sin and mortality, and preserve whatever good quality He had implanted in our nature, perfected now by sharing in the goodness of His nature. For as by the sin of one man we have fallen into a misery so deplorable, so by the righteousness of one Man, who also is God, shall we come to a blessedness inconceivably exalted. That is the grace of God. In our fall, in our connection to Adam, we are in a misery so deplorable. But through Christ, who is a gift of God to us, God’s Son, and through our salvation, which is a gift of God, and through our faith, which is a gift of God, we enter into a blessedness, again as inconceivably exalted. Quoting Romans 9:16, that it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God’s mercy. Imagine if Romans 9:16 read this way: it depends not on God’s mercy, but on human will. If that were the case, we would all be doomed. But our God is a God full of mercy and full of grace. Our salvation does not depend on human will or human exertion, but it depends on God’s mercy. I hope you see the triumph of grace in your own life. Your life should be a testimony to the triumph of grace. If it were up to us, the world we would create would simply be “a barren waste.” But enter the grace of God into a life, and a beautiful, glorious, majestic landscape comes into being. By the grace of God, there go we all. "And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift." (II Corinthians 9:14-15)

The Ten tribes of Israel are the Christians in the west. Christianity is now on it’s decline. Jews ACT as if 15M Jews of which a large number are not descendants from the patriarchs cannot be the fulfilling of the covenant with Abraham, that his descendants would be as innumerable as the Stars and the sand of the sea. From the 15M Jews including converts, only Approximately 6M are practicing the Religion, and 20M Noahidism, of course as far as it is possible. Although today’s Jews still identify with the Israel of the Old Testament, they are not uniquely the descendants of the patriarchs, and their rejection of Jesus has locked their focus on the tribal aspects of the Old Testament tradition while distancing them from the universal message of the Old Testament prophets. Did God not fulfill his promise? The Good news is that God Did. Abraham meaning (“The Father of Many Nations”) did not want Isaac to have a gentile woman from Canaan, so he send Eliezer on a 2 months journey to Mesopotamia to get a woman from his own family. Now later the same that happened to Abraham happened to Isaac. Christianity is an Israeli (Abrahamic) religion, God’s promise to Abram is, that his seed would be like the stars you cannot count and like the sand on the seashore. It is in the linage of Isaac and Jacob NOT ISMAËL. But there are more or less 500 M descendants of Ismael and not even 10M of Isaac acknowledged. In Genesis 17 (the Abrahamic Covenant), verses 4-7, is an “unconditional” covenant! In Genesis 22:18, we read, “And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed…” A Big Big question here is how? Further, in Genesis 26:4, we read of the same blessings conveyed upon Isaac, The Messiah was most explicit about “who” the disciples were to go to. <“I am not sent but unto the LOST SHEEP of the house of Israel.” When Joseph put Ephraim & Manasseh before Jacob to bless them Joseph put Manasseh on his right and Ephraim on his left hand. Jacob could not see well he was partly blind but Jacob crossed his arms and blesses Ephraim with his Right hand. When Joseph tried to move the arms of Jacob, he said no my son Manasseh will be a great nation but Ephraim will be many nations. Where are they or was the blessing of Jacob never fulfilled? It was God’s Choosing. Scholars all agree that in the first century there were approximately six million Jews in the Roman Empire. That was about one tenth of the entire population. About one million were in Palestine, including today’s State of Israel, while those in the Diaspora were very much part of the establishment in cities such as Alexandria and Constantinople. At one point Klinghoffer acknowledges that, during the life of Jesus, only a minuscule minority of Jews accepted Jesus, for the simple reason that most Jews had not heard of Him or did not belief He was the Messaiah. Some scholars have noted that, by the fourth or fifth century, there were only a few hundred thousand, at most a million, people who identified themselves as Jews. What happened to the millions of Jews there used to be When you study back through both secular and Scriptural history, there is no other answer than to accept that Israel, though yet not know their identity, is alive and well in the world today and can be found in the Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian, Germanic, Celtic, and related peoples and had become Christians The Jewish historian Josephus (37-100 CE) wrote that "the ten tribes are beyond the Euphrates till now, and are an immense multitude and not to be estimated in numbers". Israel is not just Judah and Benjamin, All Israel is 12 tribes. They are right here today in the western world. Romans 11: 25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; 27 For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.” “Gentiles Meaning the 7 churches in Asia Minor.” The Fullness of the Gentiles was in the year 950 when the Caliphate killed or converted to Islam those Christians that were not killed by the Roman Empire. That also was when the gospel started to flourish in England and the rest of Europe. The 10 tribes Israelites and some from the 2 tribes fled to Syria and from Syria via the Bosphorus to England and some over the Caucasus to Scandinavia, Called Caucasians.

Look at Acts 13:48, for example. "And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed." It doesn't say that "as many believed, those are the ones God appointed to eternal life." It's saying that God's prior decision resulted in them coming to trust in Jesus.

So correct me if im wrong please. But what you're saying is God chooses some to be saved... That these verses that say Jesus died for all/ loves all , Not all are saved by that, they have to personally be drawn to except the gospel , repentance and salvation... Which is predestination/election, God chose use before the foundations of the world.... Ephesians 1:4-6.... Am i getting that right?

@FishingMadeEasywithCharles Thanks for taking the time to write. Let me try and clarify. I know this is confusing, but if you try to harmonize everything that Scripture says, I think you end up with something like this: 1. Jesus provides a salvation that is big enough for all who receive it by faith. 2. The problem is that left to ourselves no one would turn to Jesus for this gift. We’re too hardened by sin and addicted to the world. 3. So God not only loved us enough to provide a salvation with the potential to save everyone, He decided before the foundation of the world to choose a people for Himself and gave them the grace to repent and believe. Does that make sense?

This is antithetical to the mission & purpose of God sending His Son? Jesus only redeeming/rescuing/ransoming a pre-chosen elect few (yes Augustine, Calvin, Edwards, Pink, Packer, R.C. all taught few, not most) gives 👿 more souls after his hoodwink-bamboozle in the Garden!!! Although, I must admit it does seem flattering to think you are among the special favored elect few. That does appeal to our flesh. How is "Individuals are born doomed from the womb to a certain death and are to glorify Him (God) by their destruction" (quote from Calvin) consistent with Matthew 11:28, John 3:17, 12:47, Acts 17:30-31, 2 Corinthians 5:18-19, Romans 5:18, 1 Timothy 2:3-6, Titus 2:11, Hebrews 2:9, 2 Peter 3:9???

John 3:16, does world always mean the whole world? Or does it also mean all kinds of people. The whosoever does not exist. Who will be saved, all the believing. There is a limitation. Acts 2:21, all who call upon the Lord . We can only come because the Spirit is already drawing us. John 6:44 Why does God need to draw us to salvation? If He didn't we would never come. No-one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father John 6:65. We are dead in our sins, Ephesians 2:1. Dead people don't and can't respond.

@deelynn8611 Thanks for taking the time to write. For what it’s worth, I’m saddened too. And I agree that it makes trust difficult. But maybe that’s when we realize what faith is. Most of what we believe isn’t really faith at all. We believe things that make sense to us. We believe what we’ve seen and heard. We believe what we understand. Faith is learning to follow God where we can’t see. It’s learning to trust Him when we don’t understand. It’s struggling to believe Him when it doesn’t make sense. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” According to the next verse that “good” is being conformed to the image of Jesus. I think that faith is learning to believe that even those things that hurt can be used by God for our good. If God stopped all the bad things in my life, I’d be weak, independent, and self-reliant. He’s used the painful trials to shape me into the person I am - and thank God He’s not done yet! It sounds like you’ve been through some hard stuff. You might be helped in taking some time to go through the series in Job I’ve just finished and reflect on what you’re dealing with. www.gracebc.ca/sermons/series/job-when-tragedy-strikes May God minister His comfort and hope in your life!

The Lord is not slow about his promise to return but instead patient with us, not wanting any to be lost....totally believe that with all my heart.

There is more joy in heaven over one lost soul who repents than the 99 who need no repentance.

How ridiculous to say that God elected some to salvation(Eph.1:4),and then save the non-elect the same.Will God strives to save those He didn't intend to save??? Calvinist believe the doctrine of "whosoever will",but to the natural man,left to himself, will never will because man is desperately wicked.If the natural man CANNOT come to the Father without the Father's drawing,who are you to say that the natural man CAN come???Please prove from the scriptures,even a single text, that the natural man is capable to do spiritual things.!!!Even the reasonings of Leighton Flowers are all absurd.Calvinists believe that those who CANNOT respond to the demand of "whosoeverwill" will only be possible through the operational work of REGENERATION of the H.Spirit precedingly.I am not a calvinist.I am a christian,but I am in accord with the calvinist in this aspect of doctrine.

Thanks for taking the time to write. I think you've misunderstood my post. I'm not saying that God saves the non-elect.

This is SUCH a good reminder to us that our continued repentance and reconciliation with one another is both modelled for us and produced in us through Christ!

I understand. Sorry we missed your expectations. Locating Babylon archaeologically is an important task, too. This post was coming at the question from a different perspective.

Thanks for this reminder Paul. So often we overthink our acts of service. If we have a heart of thanks to Him we will find opportunities.
