No, Paul is quite clear on this:
Romans 10:3-9
Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to Gods righteousness. Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: The person who does these things will live by them. But the righteousness that is by faith says: Do not say in your heart, Who will ascend into heaven?  (that is, to bring Christ down) or Who will descend into the deep?  (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
I understand what Paul is clear about. It seems you don't. Ephesians states that faith and works are gifts that God gives us at the time of regeneration. We do not perform these on our own, without acceptance of them from God, so that they cannot be considered works of salvation. Whether from "the law" (of Moses) or something you create on your own, if you have to do it in order to be saved, it is considered a work. Christ said "It is finished". There is absolutely nothing else
you need to do in order to be saved. It all rests on God. You can't add anything, or else you are making it a work. Maybe one day you will finally understand this.
Commendation, not condemnation - v.39 (Heb. 11).
Ah. Sorry, I misread that.
What does Hebrew's commendation of men of faith have to do with why Abraham believed?
You've slipped into the Arminian view there. That's not such a bad thing.
No, Calvinism is not foreknowledge of what man will do, but a foreordaining.
So, once again, the fact that you do not understand Calvinism shows.
While I do believe that God does step in and take an active part in our lives, I do not believe, nor do I believe Calvinism teaches, that all things are controlled by God. As was stated earlier, much of what we do comes about by our natural choice to obey God's will rather than God forcing us to do things. You honestly have no idea what it means to have our will aligned with God's, do you?
I care, yes. Speechless that you believe that God elects unconditionally in this way. Speechless that you preach salvation to the non-elect through belief in Christ's resurrection from the dead when that sacrificial death was exclusively intended for others.
Somehow, I really doubt that you are speechless. People who are speechless usually don't have much to say.
So show me this Biblical axiom that suggests that everyone has to have an equal chance of receiving the gospel. If I were you, I'd get right on an airplane and fly to China so you can start preaching the gospel there so all really do have a chance to hear it, otherwise your comments don't ring true.
God cannot lie, He is righteous and just.
God cannot lie, and He is righteous and just. I agree, however, I think that you are trying to force God into a janxharris mold. You want God to agree with you about what is righteous and just instead of listening to what HE has to say about it.
Arbitrary election is repugnant and impugns God's good name.
Thanks for your opinion.
