How is this a retort?
We know that God calls men, but has He called every man, without exception?
Can a man be saved without hearing/reading the gospel?
Yes. Yes. Yes.Hammster, did you answer the call? When God spoke, did you hear? After He called, did you do evil in His sight, and choose that in which He did not delight?
Sounds like universalism.Yes, it is possible:
1 Tim 4:10
That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.
Acts 10
34Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism 35but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.
How is you understanding not universalism?But it's not. It's the bible, and not Calvinism.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Now, can you answer my question instead of deflecting?
So He's not the Savior of all?Not all will cooperate with God's grace.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Now, can you answer my question instead of deflecting?
I heard the gospel and believed. Faith comes by hearing.I'm curious. What was the call?
This is not a trick question. I'd really like to know.
It stands to reason that if everyone is called, then everyone is justified.
Romans 8:30
I heard the gospel and believed. Faith comes by hearing.
YES!
Yes.Was it the same gospel that the Ethiopian eunuch heard?
Acts 5:32-37
32Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this:
“HE WAS LED AS A SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER;
AND AS A LAMB BEFORE ITS SHEARER IS SILENT,
SO HE DOES NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH.
33“IN HUMILIATION HIS JUDGMENT WAS TAKEN AWAY;
WHO WILL RELATE HIS GENERATION?
FOR HIS LIFE IS REMOVED FROM THE EARTH.”
34The eunuch answered Philip and said, “Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?” 35Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him.36As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?” 37[And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”]
Different word for call than what's used in Romans 8.“For many are called, but few are chosen.”
sorry, no. That would ignore too much of YHWH'S WORD. (which , even though it sounds 'nice', is sin)YES!
So Paul had it wrong when he said that those who are called are also justified?sorry, no. That would ignore too much of YHWH'S WORD. (which , even though it sounds 'nice', is sin)
Different word for call than what's used in Romans 8.
