RE>>well that is so reassuring to us all , Elect <<
You speak for and represent the whole group - how clever.
RE>>Since my questions to you had only to do with the amount of time (days)<<
Yes yes an innocent question if I ever did see one.
So we look at the Roman Catholic traditions and say Christ was buried Friday and Rose Sunday and once again you prove Christianity to be a fraud... yes yes - so clever - boring!
What hoops??? = Re>>But all you had to do was answer 3 days <<
Yes - that is all I HAD TO DO.
So why are you asking question to get expected answers - oh I wonder yes I do.
RE>>yet seemed not to grasp even the simplest elements of the teaching .<<
Yes - I do seem to miss the simple - guess I also missed your hoop.
RE>>one would think you would be filled with great joy to discuss this greatest centralizing belief of all Christianity ?<<
Discuss??? Go "discuss" with Greg - you two are a pair.
RE>>If you believe in Christ , then you should do so with a little more joy<<
Sorry - I missed where I was supposed to get joy out of your foolish games.
Re>>everyone can be saved Elect <<
Wrong - only those who are predestined to eternal life 'get saved' - which may explain your inability to 'discuss'
Acts 13:48 And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
Those who are not ordained simply do not believe!
Mark 4:10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables;
You seem to a tad ... "without"
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we (the elect - BV) should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Ephesians 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
The Elect of God ALONE are PREDESTINATED to believe and be saved.
The rest are not...
That is one of the "simplest elements of the teaching" |
