Tell it to Webster.



SINCE 1828


chosen
  1. : one who is the object of choice or of divine favor : an elect person
Once we chose God we are the object of divine favor. In all ways we are chosen. We chose, and we are chosen. We are the chosen ones. When we elect to elect Him, we are the elect!

Nobody said or implied they were saved. But they certainly thought they were.
No. They claimed they thought they were. They knew better in their heart, and God knew better also. What good would it do to have works when we need salvation?

Wow. Way to earn that salvation.

It sure doesn't look like they knew better.

Elect? God doesn't have elect people. Or haven't you heard?
Yes He does. The elect.

Isa 65:22 -
They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

Good. You're now a Calvinist.

No idea what you are talking about, unless you insinuate asking Jesus to save us means works?
"Once we chose God we are the object of divine favor."

Oh what a good boy are you. ^_^

We elect Him. So we become the elect. We chose Him and become the chosen ones.
There you go again.

We elected Trump. So we are now the elect.

Nope. Doesn't work.

Correct. He loves to save us if only we accept His gift through Jesus.
Way to put man at the center. I always suspect that synergists believe this, but nobody has actually admitted it.

No. Trump is not God. Those who elect him, merely vote. It is not a relationship that is a two way street.
Do you even know the definition of elect/choose? The way you post sure doesn't reflect it.

We are important. Why do you think Jesus died for us? We have choice and He hopes we make the right choice and chose life. He chose to die for us so we could make the choice to be the chosen ones. He elected to make the way to let us elect to accept eternal life.
