Whosoever vs. Election and Predestination
Response to comment [from a Jehovah's Witness]: [Whosoever]
"Whosoever means whosoever not who-some-ever."
"He is all for the non elect perishing...[T]hat's what He created them for--to be punished for their sins..."
How could you love this god? This god would be wicked and unlovable. No, God is loving. It is not his will for anyone to perish. His will is clear (2 Pe 3:9).
"By being born of Him."
You are not born of the spirit. Aren't you a Jehovah's False Witness?
"Your view dishonors God's prerogatives to do what He wills with whomever He wills."
When men humble themselves before him, he is willing to save (Joel 2:32). Whoever means whoever.
"[W]hosoever is always accompanied by a act, a qualifying action."
You cannot do a thing to save yourself. Christianity is not work based it is faith based. The only "work" you can do is believe (Ac 16:31). It is his work not ours: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast (Eph 2:8,9)."
See:
"Yes I am born again, and no I am not a JW. I proclaim the truth which you cannot receive."
You said something similar last time like a soup nazi..."No grace for you..." Anyone can receive Christ as their savior--not just an elite few as cultists like to claim. It is turning from sin and turning toward the person of Jesus (Col 2:6).
Is there a change in your belief? Do you believe that Jesus is the creator God, the second person of the godhead? (Jn 1:1-3). Do you believe he is the archangel Michael?
Didn't you state just today: B57: "[GR]
says: [Quote GR] 'Jesus is a messenger'...lol, you do understand
that you just admitted that Jesus is a Angel don't you ? For that's what
messenger means...look it up..." link
