Richard how many times do i have to point out to you that all the verses from Romans you keep quoting do not say "God has chosen some for salvation and others He has not" , why do you keep ignoring this simple fact .
Yes it talks about people being chosen , but what it is not saying as you keep on trying to imply is God has chosen some for salvation and others He has not. You are clearly misunderstanding the scriptures.
The scriptures are very clear and it tells us He's the Savior of All men (not just a chosen few)1 Tim 4 verse 10 (read it).
I question the spirit you and others who persist in this vain attempt to believe you are one of the chosen remnant and others are not , it's just smacks of spiritual pride.
Chosen imply's special and like i have already said to you if you believe you are special in God's eyes , you will see others as being special in God's eyes and not just yourself, and while you persist in believing you are special which you must do because you believe only the chosen are saved (even though you have no scripture to support it) you cannot see others has God sees others.
I am done debating with you until you can supply just one scripture that says or even imply's(just to make it easier for you) "God has chosen some for salvation and others He has not", because so far you have not come close to giving me just the one scripture.
HE'S THE SAVIOR OF ALL MEN 1 TIM 4 VERSE 10
You are not questioning me you are questioning the scripture To say He's the Savior of the chosen totally contradicts scripture .Just re-read some of your posts and just like some one who used to post on here you do believe All andThe World means the elect .
So what makes you so special that makes you chosen ? Was it your good looks ? maybe super spiritual ? , maybe you deserved it ? or do you believe He just chose people at random and denied Himself by becoming a respecter of persons ?.

If I may jump in here, "Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they [are] not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, [are they] all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. For this [is] the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son…Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will [have mercy], and whom he will he hardeneth." (Romans 9:6,7,9,18)
There are literally hundreds if you are willing. It is difficult for people to believe the Bible and what God says. However, if we stop being hostile to it and submit to its authority we would not be having these "forum arguments."

Hi Marks,
I'm sure pcamps will ask: where does Romans 9:6-9, and 9:18 say God has chosen some for salvation? Like you say: believe what these scriptures say, don't add to them.

She asked for one verse. Both Romans chapter 8 and 9 sum up the whole of the doctrine very well. If one verse does not say to satisfy it is not illegal to use many others to get to what God is saying.
"Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." (1 Corinthians 2:13)

Hey i'm a He not a she , oh yea what Lego just said to you.
The doctrine of Calvinism baffle me. I find it truly warped IMHO. Perhaps its just me.
This is what Calvinism says:
1. God predestines a man to sin
2. God predestines the man to eternal torture for the sins the man was predestined to do.
And somehow this is justice.
Justice?
Does that make sense to anyone here?
No. But I had years of therapy to overcome my Calivinistic religious upbringing with its emphasis on hell and death so I no longer feel the need to make sense of it.

My education of systematic theology comes from Hatfield seminary, God does not choose based on merit but, based on His own counsel, His own will...He does not choose baced on foreseen events either for He has ordained all, nothing occurs outside of God.............
