Ernie is happy to hear that! Cya Sunday! Ernie

Would you mind showing me how you can prove that?

By God's grace alone any may be saved.

Psalm 2

@@reformationopc28054 11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. When we are in peace, not fear, we know we are connected with God's understanding.

We do not wage war against evil men out of fear, but rather with a heart of love towards God and for our neighbor (Psalm 63:9-11; 139:21-24). We wield the sword of the Spirit against principalities and powers for the sake of setting others free and unto the destroying of the strongholds of the Devil. We are in a battle (Ephesians 6:10-18) for the souls of men. We believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, of Elijah, Daniel, and Josiah, the God of David and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord. They are the same God, and we believe upon Him and then obey His command to be fruitful, take dominion, make disciples, and take ground from the enemy for the sake of our Risen King!

@@reformationopc28054 "Ask and you shall receive." Ask for understanding and you receive peace. "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Ask for war and that is what you get. Over and over and over again.

@@robertdouglas8895 Christ of course brings peace, blessed peace between God and men, but only through Spirit-wrought union. We do not share this union/peace with all. With some we are in conflict: Matthew 10:34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set[j] a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ 37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

@@TheRomans9Guy Yes. Only the elect are inwardly called, effectually by the Holy Spirit. God has not called all men outwardly, because there are many who have never heard. Even then there are those who hear the outward call who are not called inwardly and thus are not regenerate and so no faith and justification.

@ All of that is rubbish. Everyone is elect. God calls, chooses, loves, draws and forgives all men. He gives all men the ability and responsibility to surrender, repent and have faith. To those who do he will grant eternal life. All of that election/reprobation hocus pocus is nonsense.

@@TheRomans9Guy Are you a univeralist?

@ ​​⁠ Definitely not. All men have sinned god has forgiven all men and given all men the ability and responsibility to surrender, repent and bhave faith. To those who do he will grant eternal life. Not Universalism.

@@TheRomans9Guy "Everyone is elect. God calls, chooses, loves, draws and forgives all men." So God fails then?

You are right… the children of Abraham were meant to be a blessing to the nations and yet in this they largely failed, rather they became like the nations they were called to reach.
