RE>>I cannot allow that men are ever allow to believe wrong things about the Bible or God...that is to allow Idolatry."<< I am not saying that it is ME who disallows ( as in an authoritative way ) I cannot "agree to disagree" I can admit that we do not agree.. that is a fact. But I am forbidden by God to allow you to think that it is OK to think God loves everyone or that it is the will of man that decides who is saved and who isn't etc. etc. etc. The things you believe are heresy and not the truth. You have the power to believe those things.. indeed except God grant you the ears to hear it is not possible for you to believe what I am saying except in anger. The True Gospel is only "accepted" and loved by men to whom God grants the Spirit of Truth. When I say I can not "allow" do not misunderstand me.. It is God who does not honor heresy nor give men the "right" to think wrong thoughts concerning Him.. that is heresy and sin.. I know what you believe is believed by MOST professing Christians today.. that is because we are under God's Judgement and backslidden beyond belief. There are bibles being printed to suit the " God loves Everyone heresies " to replace the ones where the truth is best expressed. When did God ever say " Let's agree to disagree " ??? No you either agree with God or your in sin. Simple. RE>>That's something I was weak at doing in the past<< It is not a weakness to defend the truth.. quite the contrary it is the common weakness of the day to allow that contrary views may both be valid.. Something can be right for you but wrong for me... ==== That is the insane age we live in.. ==== According to that nonsense God can both loves everyone and not loves everyone in the same way and manner at the same time... I say rather this... God is LOVING even to those whom He HATES... but He love His Elect without condition by His soveriegn Grace and Will. RE>>If you are denying my salvation, read the bible about humility. << I neither affirmed nor denied you salvation.. I do not know if you are saved or not. How could I ???? RE>>In fact, it is more of an someone who thinks they are elite! << I am in a sense perhaps Elite if you think that Paul was Elite or John the Baptist was Elite or any Biblical example of men who were Saved as being Elite then YES I AM ELITE. I am ELECT and know that only those who are elected by God are saved the rest are not. That is not something I DID nor does it cause me PRIDE as most men presume. It causes me to be THANKFUL and struck with AWE. I thank GOD ENDLESSLY for Choosing me before the World began to be Saved while I shudder at the truth that Not all men are called nor the chosen. I hope you are saved... You seem like a nice fellow. Many "nice" fellows however will not be saved. It is sad but true. I am not here to discourage anyone from seeking God or calling out to Him. It is however the Biblical teaching that Saving Faith is a Gift from God given to men before they ever "will" to accept Him or do anything good. We are not born-again because we make right choices as the common heresy that is taught in churches today. If someone ACCEPTS JESUS so what? The question is not do we accept Jesus but does Jesus accept us... God hates many people.. "FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT" Look: Math 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Or Look again: Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. These statements would appear to be open to EVERYONE... That is not the case they are open to ANYONE but not EVERYONE... there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE and it is plainly seen in other verse Steve. Did not CAIN also call upon the LORD ??? Do you know why God accepted Abel but not Cain and indeed Cain was deemed to be "of the wicked one"??? If it can be proven that GOD does not love even one person then your doctrine of God loving everyone is a lie and all lies come from the father of lies the devil: Psalms 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. God hates the very soul of the wicked.. He does not love them. I am not proud about being "elite" I am very thankful that God chose to save me ... there was nothing in me to set me apart from others indeed I was very sinful and still struggle along :-} Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Any time I even sense pride I know trouble is close behind.
