At least you are honest. You have no earthly idea nor opinion.

No you haven't and again you evade as you did before when I asked.

The question is simple: Why are you saved? For what purpose?

Is that just simply too hard for you to comprehend and answer without evasion?

To be priests and kings, to bring the harvest in at the end of the ages?

Or to throw rocks at the non-elect? just kidding



I would venture that if you don't believe that God will save all men, then you don't understand what purpose the elect has.

Yes herefornow.... kings, judges, priests, ministers.... who do you think will they be ministering to? What will they be harvesting?

The workers are few, the harvest is plentiful...

My guess is these same ones who are saved will be ruling over mankind. God is looking for the overcomers, those that will rule and reign with Him.

Not that complicated.

Most of those of the Eternal Torture and Total Anniliation persuasion simply think they are either flying off to heaven to play harps and sing hymns while after having a big barbecue here on earth and be kings, priests, and judges, over each other.

Many of them even believe they are to be raptured away and saved from any tribulations at all while leaving the Jews here on earth to do all the work.

Theses are sick beliefs indeed.

Sounds like Calvinism literal ideas where are proved error through revelation from Holy Spirit....... The Lord Jesus saves everybody who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus and repent and turn from the sin of this world as a witness for Jesus as a proof of their sincerity....... NO PREDESTINATION FOR SALVATION,... everybody is called to be saved and if they choose to reject the then they will perish with no hope for Heaven after they pass away from this world........

All are to be saved. But some are chosen to be the FirstFruits (priests) unto the rest of the congregation of Spiritual Israel. It is typed by the Old Testament in which Israel was God's Children but it was the Levites that were CHOSEN.

So all are predestined for salvation but some are predestined to that chosen cause of being OF the first fruits of that salvation in ushering in the rest of that universal salvation.

Eternal torture and total annihilation, they are childish beliefs, but necessary for the beginning faith of Jew and Greek.

Our Lord Jesus told us to suffer the little children to come to him and forbid them not. He also told Peter to feed his lambs as well as the sheep.

When these children are disappointed as their particular evidences fail, let us be gracious unto them and receive them.

Let us not be wise in our conceits. God forbid.
