An2elect2: John 17:12
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. Very Good. Now lets refer back to the Op Absurdity 101 * Jesus died for everyone...but everyone is not saved
[/hr] You mean Judas is not saved ? So aren't you sharing in propagating the same Thing you called Absurdity ? |

An2elect2: But by implication you are saying just that. Let's face the matter: Is Christ's death enough for the salvation of a sinner. That's what the Bible says.
Then if so, he cannot be saved by his choice but by grace.
If I ask you now. Why are you saved and the other not saved. You would say what you have been saying "I did choose to be saved while the other did not choose to be saved" You won't say this "It is Grace that saved me. I am who I am by the grace of God." But that's the difference between self-righteous and true righteousness.
[i] Check all my threads. I've become a diligent student of the Bible by God's grace. And what I'm saying is what our fathers in the faith have been saying, they are what the apostle Paul preached, they are what the first Christians knew. Test all I've been saying. Search the scriptures honestly and tell me if I've been lying
This is what I believed too when I wasn't studying the Bible but I'm now repenting from all of them because they are not scriptural @ bold, Is Judas Iscariot Saved ? |

A typical instance..i went to collect a document for my boss in ikoyi..on getting there the lady who should have given me the parcel went for lunch and locked it in her locker...One of the guys was very angry about that action that he had to confront her,an argument ensued and the guy told her that is this her bad attitude that has chased men away from her.. She broke into tears ...i felt bad I felt like shedding tears readin that experience ., am very friendly to women , but this thread really touched my heart to be more Compassionate , its not easy ... at time's this ladies are just depressed when they think about the kind of society they find themselves. thanks Bro |

An2elect2: LOL that famous verse all freewillers hold onto even when their free will interpretation is not consistent with others. They must hold on to this and damn what the others say. They don't mind letting a contradiction and turning a blind eye to all the parts that deny free will.
It's like saying, "except you be born again you cannot enter the Kingdom of God" john3,5. But isn't it He that commands that gives the power to do or does the work?
Those who were born to receive Him and were given power to believe Him, by whose power and will were they born?
But as many as received Him to them gave he power to become sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. which were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, NOR OF THE WILL OF MAN, BUT OF GOD John 1,12,13.
Or will you say man receives before being born? Which one comes first birth(life) or action?
There are just too many scriptures that refute the freewiller's claim. The one you quoted does not support freewill either. @ Highlighted, Show me how it doesn't support Freewill, despite the Emphasis on " CHOOSE " in that scripture ( Deu 30:19) ? To you this means anyone can approach God?
[s] Let me not bother you with the prayers that are abhorred first and wait for you toprove this with other scriptures. Can you? [/s]
Prayers listened to or abhorred is not the issue here , the point here is this : " Remember you can't approach God in prayer outside of salvation." - An2elect2 the point is Approaching God in prayer, and Psalm 65:2 proves ALL flesh can approach God in prayer saved or not , does it not ? |

An2elect2: Do you too believe men have some "free will" to choose God? " I take the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you today that I have put life and death before you, the blessing and the curse, and you must Choose life so that you may live, you and your descendants " . Deuteronomy 30:19 . this clearly emphasize Choice which is what freewill is about. Remember you can't approach God in prayer outside of salvation. " O Hearer of prayer, to you ALL flesh will come " Psalm 65:2 clearly Anyone can approach God in prayer , isnt it ? |
Christianity Etc › Re: Freewillers Why Are Your Prayers Not Consistent With What You Believe! by CANTICLES: 10:33pm On Apr 26, 2017 |
Approaching Jehovah in prayer is itself an exercise of freewill . its a Choice and if we are already programmed to live a certain life , its illogical to pray then since its FIXED . |

He called him a Witness because he failed to see the Big Picture . though I have visited a lot of threads on Nairaland where People are asked are you Jw? Just because they seem to uphold or defend a point which is Similar to the Witnesses . it happens Even using the name " Jehovah" can lead to the question : Are you a Jw? thats our people for you. when in reality the Person might not even be one of us.

Peacefullove: Countless times, have heard Christian televangelist and their various adherents Scream on top of their voices the words of Mark 9:43 to force and scare u to convert to the mainstream Christianity. ONLY if you listen to the silent voices beneath the said verse .
it reads
"And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire." - Mark 9 vs 43 . only few people would see the silent voice in this verse right now, do you ?
One thing is certain, You no doubt see hell and unquenchable fire . thats all you are concerned about . Kindly listen again.
" And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. "
Now read the bold again and again , Your two hands with which u are scrolling this page would also follow a man to Hell , Am I missing something ? Pls how many dead people have we seen died and their Two hands disappeared into Hell ? answer please . Note that the above verse said man will go into Hell with his Two Hands , haba!
if no one has actually go to this hell with their two hands, Is Jesus Lying ? Like someone told you earlier, its an honest mistake on your part due to the translation you used . Yes Honest because the wording seem to indicate peoples fleshly hand and and legs goes to an hell .
But Jesus listeners could understand what he meant because the greek word rendered hell in that scripture as someone already pointed out to you is Gehenna
Evidence reveal that dead carcasses of humans and animals are thrown into Gehenna, So literally peoples hand and leg can be found in Gehenna Therefore, Jesus didnt lie . its a fact that his listeners could relate to.
therefore, since Gehenna is a place of destruction , Jesus used it to illustrate " eternal Destruction " 2 The 1:9 of the disobedient ones .

Jesus doesn't lie and if you have a problem with someone using two hands to go to hell which has unquenchable fire I said take it to Jesus Christ. Reading your comments Just make me smile. its not everybody that Speak against the Hell lie that's a Witness , Most atheist on this forum dont belive in it either, Coupled with some other bible believing individuals .

Splinz: Ordinarily, I shouldn't be replying you again, since it's obvious you've made your conclusions without first listening or asking for proofs that I spoke of. This is certainly not a good way to learn.
One was hoping that you'd ask for proofs before raising your objections where you felt the need. But regrettably, you hastily quoted scriptures that I know very well.
Well then, since you've already shut your mind from receiving other views other than yours, you can as well keep what you think you know. am only reasoning with you If the scripture says the God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob glorified Jesus, does that not prove Jesus is different from the God of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob that glorified him ? |

Edited: We normally use the word "fathers" to mean our ancestors. It simply means they were all fathers to us: whether grand or great grand.
Do you have any more reasonable questions? again , by saying he is still a father . you are using emotion . logically, B is THE Father of C . now , who is THE God of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob according to the scripture ? Jesus is his servant, Yes or No ? |
Christianity Etc › Re: Who Is The GOD Of The Old Testament? by CANTICLES: 12:30pm On Nov 11, 2016 |

Take time and study all my posts on this thread before you ask your next question, because I'm very sure you didn't read my posts. See analogy just to evade point , A is a grand Father to C logically. think right if C was asked , who is your Father ? who would it will be , is it B not A ? C doesnt have Two Fathers, C has a Father and one Grandfather are you saying The Father is the GOd Of the God of Abraham ? or what ? |

GOD the Father is the GOD of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Therefore, GOD the Father is the GOD of those three. lol, I asked you If Jesus is God of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob and you replied " YES" only for you to claim the Father is also the God of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob. then how many God did Abraham, Isaac and Jacob have ? TWO? did Abraham , Isaac and Jacob even know Jesus ? . Show me where Jesus is called God of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob ? to whom does that title belong ? if you can answer this , you can conveniently identify the God of the Jews , "the God of our fathers" Act 3:13 |

" The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him." ESV Act 3:13 If the God of Abraham.
