We cannot choose the spiritual birth. Not by the will of man, but by the will of God. God said this. So it cannot be argued. We did not choose to be born physically to our earthly parents. We are born to the family we are born to and that's just the way it is. So it is with the spiritual birth.

Gup20, God said, choose life or death. So, I say, 'Ok, God. I choose life. What must I do to have life?' Then God says, 'Obey & fulfill my Law perfectly & you will have eternal life.' Now I'm afflicted because I know I can't do it. I say, 'Woe is me! Father, I cannot do what you require. I will...

The Law is the taskmaster of burden. It came to expose sin & point to the need of a Messiah. It is an impossibility that noone can fulfill. The Law is the affliction on Christian's back. Is it bad? No. It is meant to afflict the elect & lead them to Christ & His righteousness. When God opens...

Phil 2:13: For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. James 1:18: Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth... Acts 4:28: For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. To put it plainly, freewill is a lie from the...

I I don't mind getting into trouble for speaking the truth. I was only trying to help.

John 14:16. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go bear fruit and that your fruit should abide..God's people will abide in Him. They may deny him temporarily like Peter, but they will not permanently deny Him without God bringing them to repentance through...

Noone has a part to play in salvation. Salvation is of the Lord. Good works will not do anything to help save anyone at anytime. Those good works in the Scriptures are fruits of the good work God has started in His people, beginning with the new birth, by way of the Truth of the Gospel of...

BC, and you are right. Many think that since they confess with their mouth that they believe in Jesus, it will be enough to save them. It is to those that the Lord will say, 'You may claim to know me. But I never knew you. Depart from Me.' (paraphrased). This is taking the Lord's name in vain...

The sheep are the ones Christ died to save. They will agape (love) God and do what He says because the Holy Spirit that resides in them will cause them to do it. He is their seal. The inspired Truth is in the Koine Greek & Hebrew. God filters it to the elect in the English, but the original...

Those that Christ died to save will be brought to Heaven through affliction & suffering for His name's sake. The elect do not believe because they accept an invitation to believe. God opens their eyes by way of the unadulterated Truth. They cannot do anything to save themselves. They are dead in...

If you want to God to bring you to Salvation, stop looking to the Roman Catholic church for answers. Look to Christ and what He said. Jesus said, He that loses his life (his will & desires) will find it. You don't need to be a better person to inherit salvation. We need to be like the dying...

You're welcome. Take care & may God be with you

I'm sorry, I cannot explain more that what the scriptures say. The Scriptures say God brings evil upon lands as a result of their iniquity & idolatry. And it's coming to America because God said it was. The Scriptures say God created evil but does not do evil, He uses evil to bring about good...

No, there are no contradictions in God's word. Our understanding contradicts itself, so we have to trust God to make it straight. There is a difference between being tested & refined by trials & being tempted. God uses & allows the devil & the world to test & refine His people. God allowed the...

Thanks for sharing..God sometimes causes people to sin & withholds others from sinning against Him. It's all to His glory & for the good of the elect. Romans 8:28..And He (God) hardened Pharaoh's heart, so he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said. And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh's...
