Then why is Rom2:4-11 written, if it’s really GOD who GIVES faith-to-salvation to a few FAVORITES? God doesn’t have favorites! Rm2:11, Acts10:34-35, Col3:25!Also, the notion of 'sincerity' applied to God is bogus. This is one of many things people say that demonstrate a poor understanding of the nature of Omnipotence. It is bad enough that one would try to assess God's sincerity, but no worse than to assess his desire against his ability. (As I've heard one person say, "Well, God didn't really mean for Adam to disobey." I suppose then, he didn't really mean for Christ to die??) What you’re really asking is whether God means what he says. God has no levels of sincerity.
No it wasn’t, if it had to come with ENABLING! If someone calls you while KNOWING you’re deaf (and they don’t do anything to make you aware of their calling), they are NOT SINCERE! They know you can’t hear, they are only PRETENDING to call you!The call was real.
”All day long I hold out My hands to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own thoughts. (Isaiah65:2)
“Sharon will be pasture for flocks, and Achor valley a resting place for herds, for My people WHO SEEK ME. But you who FORSAKE Me, …I will destine for the sword—because I called but you DID NOT answer, I spoke but you WOULD NOT hear, and you did evil in My sight!” (Isaiah65:10-11)
“Sharon will be pasture for flocks, and Achor valley a resting place for herds, for My people WHO SEEK ME. But you who FORSAKE Me, …I will destine for the sword—because I called but you DID NOT answer, I spoke but you WOULD NOT hear, and you did evil in My sight!” (Isaiah65:10-11)
Any part of that unclear? Any part of that fit, ”Oh it’s GOD who gives faith to a few favorites and opens certain ears, we don’t choose faith by ourselves”?
No!!!
Do you deny it?
