Words have meaning. . .I guess for some the discipline of language can be "acrobatics."That’s quite the scriptural acrobatics there
And what it actually says is in the meaning of the words.but this isn’t the Olympics. If you put half as much effort in just
accepting the word of God for what it actually says
All sin is grieving the Holy Spirit.you wouldn’t have to go thru all this mumbo jumbo that has absolutely no weight to it.
Paul made it absolutely clear that people grieve the Holy Spirit so saying that “they won’t prefer to” is just your opinion. The fact remains that they are capable of turning away from Christ.
All sin is not apostsy.
The born again do not apostasize (John 6:39).
None of which I deny.Jesus made it absolutely clear that people will fall away, He made it clear that
ONLY those who remain in Him and endure to the end will be saved, He also made it clear that some will not remain in Him
Nor do I deny John 6:39, John 10:28; Romans 8:29-30; Ephesians 1:4-8, Ephesians 1:11-12, etc.
I reconcile them, rightly handle the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15)--understand them in a way that does not disagree with any of them.
And that is what you must learn to do if you wish to rightly handle the word of truth.
Your understanding must always be in agreement with all Scripture, or you are setting the word of truth against itself, and truth does not give the lie to itself.
Care to comment on God's secret will for Pharaoh (Exodus 4:21) and his revealed will to Pharaoh (Exodus 4:22, 5:1), in the light of Deuteronomy 29:29?
and yet you refuse to accept it at every turn. No matter how hard you try you can’t make the word of God into what you want it to be, it simply is what it is. Refusing to accept it doesn’t change it at all.
