Reason remains the key to understanding.



I take them without any reservations or qualifiers. That's how one should take His word.
Reason is not the key to understanding, if it is faulty reasoning, ignoring Scripture.

But it is strange to me you would say so, you who claim that since it says "all", there is no need to qualify it by context, just as you affirm here in your last sentence of this post. You read the Bible, one or two verses at a time, and ignore context, and you call this 'reason'?

You are contradicting yourself.

He doesn't say he is. That's your assumption.
I've already shown where and how he says he is. You handily ignored it, unwilling to listen, even accused me of adding it. We are done, here.

No. You merely assumed he was. No where does he "any" refers only to some "elect." You've assumed he meant that, because otherwise "any" would mean "any."

Sorry, God is not the author of confusion. Scripture is entirely reasonable.
