Do you think the rights set forth in the Constitution are a result of MODERN THINKING ?? Think again.. the right to remain silent was establish by Jesus Himself by His example at His Mistrial ! Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. Isaiah recorded this behavior in 750 BC ! He only spoke when they " adjurded Him by the living God " Matthew 26:63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God , that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. It was only then That Jesus decided to tell them He was GOD ! Due Process was also a recognized value long before Calvin and Citizenship having it's priviledges were both a part of the "appeal" of Paul to be tried under Roman Law and courts. Acts 25:11 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar. Acts 28:19 But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of. American citizen in foreign lands can appeal for a trial in America . Women's Lib also think that they are thinking new thoughts but in the time Of Christ in Rome it was full bloom ! It fell with Rome and all her sin ! Now " Calvinism " so called I will not commit to ! I do commit to what Paul and Jesus Taught Even Predestination of the Elect of GOD ! Bruce it is not the MODERN MIND that cannot abide this doctrine it is the CARNAL MIND PERIOD ! LOOK: In verse 22 they just LOVE JESUS.... He teaches ELECTION and FAVOUR and look at verse 28 Luke 4:22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? 23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. 24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. 25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; 26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. 28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way, He taught that God healed some and left others to rot and starve ! Gopd could feed the whole world manna from heaven if He wanted - He does not want ! It is not the MODERN MIND !!!! Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. All Christians who hate this doctrine are one of two things 1.Yet Carnal and not submitted to the righteousness of God and going about to establish their own ! OR 2.They are not real Christians as this verse tells of : Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Your theory might be considered but in Calvin's day and in Paul's it was both hated by most and loved by the few ! As saith Paul: Romans 9:19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? As far as being Equal... they are made equal by God in some ways... All men are equal under law Both God's and Man's Under God's law all men are condemned to death as unholy and imperfect in the sight of a HOLY GOD... Only the Elect are pardoned under Jesus as a Gift earned by Him at the Cross ! All men are to be treat well by others.. God tells the Elect to love their Enemies and to do Good to all but especially other elect individuals: Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
