Praise God I love the doctrines of grace. I believe with all of my heart the reason I did not die when I was dead in trespasses and sin was because God the Father would not let me die unconverted. Thank you Jesus.
@stephenwan has the right approach to understanding verse. He says "food for thought", and may this add to that sentiment. I am in my golden years and have little concerned myself with the Word of God until about 5 years ago. It seems from reading comments there are many poorly informed of what the Word of God says and what the significance on a personal and societal level is and how the teaching should and could be applied. The Gospel of Mark 14:3-9 is a passage which may be worth considering in this respect. At the 9th verse Jesus states that this 'anonymous' woman should be memorialized where the gospel is taught. Are those who are teaching the gospel doing so? I have yet to hear mention of this woman and have listened to possibly some 500+ sermons, or maybe about ten to twelve years worth of Sundays. My opinion is that Spurgeon would say she should be mentioned and it is possible that he would have mentioned her but like the nation that God is still waiting for the scales to fall from their eyes, Spurgeon may have also been blinded regarding this woman and may never have mentioned her even though Jesus states that she should be remembered. It seems that she was guided to anoint our savior as king of kings and Lord of lords. And those who were closest to Jesus failed to recognize this. As stephenwan commented, " food for thought".
SOVEREIGN, noun suv'eran. 1. A supreme lord or ruler; one who possesses the highest authority without control. Some earthly princes, kings and emperors are sovereigns in their dominions. 2. A supreme magistrate; a king. 3. A gold coin of England, value 20s or $4.44 Calvinist don't even know what the word sovereign means. They serve an evil god that says I only died for some and if I don't force you to love me then you are going to Hell and there is nothing you can do about it. The God of the Bible says Jesus died for all and it is totally your responsibility to bow your knee to me I serve the God of the Bible, not the god of Calvinism. God bless
This must be the most debated subject in Christiandom. Does man have anything to do with his salvation? The Lord said to his disciple : " You did not choose me, but I chose "..... but then how many times in holy scripture did the Lord Jesus say to a person : " Your faith has made you whole " or asked the person beseeching him : " Do you believe in the Son of man ? " What about John 3:16, which says : God so loved THE WORLD, that he gave his only begotten son so that WHO SO EVER BELIEVES shall not perish but have everlasting life " It is the world that Christ shed his blood for, and who so ever believes! Yet election, aah election is all over the bible.... eg) Abraham was called from an idol worshipping place called Ur. Was not Samuel 3 times called by the Lord whom he mistook for Eli? Likewise David, Isaiah even Jonah, who actually ran away from God. Firstly, My conclusion is there is an Effectual call for Jesus said " My sheep hear my voice, I know them, they follow me and I give them eternal life, and no man can snatch them from my hand" Yet one of the last words of God from scripture was an invitation to: And let him that heareth say, come. And let him that is athirst come. And WHOSOEVER WILL, let him take the water of life freely. Revelation 22:17 Secondly, there is a general call to all...and man must respond to the call.....illustrated in Christ's parable of God's banquet call where those whom God invited started making excuses for not attending. Scripture says on judgment day THERE WILL BE NO EXCUSES for any man! food for thought.
@@stephenwan6415 Gods will is that no man should perish but all come to repentance. If God only called some he would be going against his own will. God loved everyone and sent his son to die for them and WHO SO EVER believes shall be saved. All the rest of Calvinist butchering of Scripture does not point to divine determinism.

@1:36 Did he say casting away of the Jews? Spurgeon preached replacement theology??

You serve your own idolatrous mind. Glad im not in your place on judgment day
Calvinists have to completely ignore Ezekiel chapter 18 in which the Lord tells Ezekiel directly the outlines of personal responsibility.
