There are a lot of variables. Far more than previous exploration initiatives, many more failures will be required to get it right.

We can hope all we want, but it can only be discussed in Controversial Christian Theology.Take it up with the Reformed Calvinist theologian Karl Barth - who of course did not preach universalism. We are, however, again, according to him, permitted to hope, genuinely hope, that in the end all of God's creation will be brought back to him.
I am speaking of John 6 where Christ speaks of God choosing those who will be saved. Whether or not the word “elect” is used, Christ is clear that God chooses who will be saved and that He, Christ, will only save those whom God has chosen. And that is the definition of the word elect.Where were you seeing something said indicating I have some problem I speak of that I am or would be upset? I spoke of the word election in the Bible where it is used. Believers are elected to be conformed to the image of Christ. That is the right application for the word. God chose people of Israel, but that choice was not the salvation of all of them. That choice has the revelation from God come through prophets among them with the revelation from God preserved and passed on so fully, and made available to the world, with the prophesied Christ testified in it who we really need. God does choose among us for those God does save, God is not willing that any would perish but they should come to repentance as in 2 Peter 3:9 with their faith in response to God, it is God's grace that is the basis.
What, it' pathetic that someone "commanded to preach God's message' writes stuff that isn't even Scriptural?This is pathetic.
Methinks you moan and whinge too much.
Both are true. Adam’s rebellion against God is what led to the fall, which in turn resulted in the default of blindness to all men. We all live in rebellion and blindness. We don’t become blind, though, we are born blind.Some have tried to show that blindness is a result of man's choice; but failed.
The whole of Scripture, and YHVH'S Plan for Salvation,
repeatedly and throughout all history shows that men are blind by default, as you put it.
What is the part in the religion that tries to show otherwise ? Why try ? It is part of a religious system that for some reason 'needs' men to only be blind by choice/disobedience, but that contradicts too much Scripture. All Scripture is true - Scripture does not contradict itself; or rather, God's Plan and God's Word is Perfect Forever , and His Plan as well, and there is no contradiction in nor from God,
so if anything or anyone contradicts God, it or them is not truthful nor from God.

We grope like the blind along a wall, groping like those who have no eyes; we stumble at noon as in the twilight, among the vigorous as though we were dead.
Or that I understand what’s being said in light of such verses as Eph 3:6 and Gal 3:8, and Rom 9:6-9 for that matter. What Israel received was obviously transferred to all, as the promises were originally intended for all, gentiles being joint heirs.Did you even read Romans 9:4 and Hebrews 8:8 before you concluded that the New Covenant is for all?
If you can still reach that conclusion, that means you disagree with what the 2 verses are literally saying.
As a type for civil authorities, yes. Many Caesar's around the globe yet todayIf Caesar exists or not.
So, God accounted righteousness to Abraham about 13 years after the event in Genesis 15. Where do you find this special revelation in the bible?When God told Abraham to be physically circumcised in Genesis 17:14, otherwise he will be cut off from God, could Abraham have refused to do so by saying "Did you lie to me, didn't I receive imputed righteousness in Genesis 15 already?
As a Pentecostal, I would advise all likeminded to apply whichever capability God has supplied you with (we are many members), apt to give equal footing for all of God's word (Acts 20:27, 1Tim 3:2).they should in these last days return to their roots where the Holy Spirit and his gifts were evident and not locked away
My general objection to such stances is that there is nothing that transpires in creation that God is not involved in in some way. Evil does transpire in the midst of Omnipresence, as well as sin and death.Let me explain what I was thinking.
Freewill is our ability to make a choice that's all if their is no choice, like Calvinism teaches, their is no freewill.
I'd suggest that no person acts apart from Divine and unseen influences, one way or another. Therefore there is no "blame" necessary. IF God wanted all of us to believe He could make it happen in an instant, just as He did many times with many people. None of us choose our way into God. He chose us, for whatever that brings.Yes ultimately Gods plan will be done, I believe that its Gods will that none should perish but for all to come to the knowledge of the truth, Gods will must and will be done but within that will we are given choices to either follow Jesus now in our mortal body, which has the greatest reward or to choose him through purgation which has a loss of inheritance. These are real choices on our part but without choice we are merely robots.
You're presuming these choices transpire in a vacuum. I think that's just a ridiculous posture that isolates God from the equations.God because he is outside of time knows what are choices will be,
Then you are promoting a Godless position, is a general point of fact.so he knows the beginning from the end, but we still have to make those choices and each has its own consequences but God does not make our choices for us as Calvinist think ,
I appreciate the back tracking attempt, but you can't play it both ways my friend.does the Father help us and is he involved with our lives, yes he can do whatever he wants, but we are responsible for our actions.
I'd have a bit of a different take on Romans and the lump, the question being why has God made me thus? A vessel of honor and a vessel of dishonor in the same lump. Universally applied. And God's choice which is dominant.I see this in the Romans letter that compares all humanity to a lump of clay some for noble use some for common, our choices are what make us either noble or common, but its our choice, even if the Father knows what choice we will make.
And to that we agree, which is a good thingIn the end the Father will be all in all, on the new heaven and a new earth.
Apostle John was on Patmos the entire time he was shown his vision of supernatural scenes for each chapter and verse of Revelation.Those who promote and teach false theories and wrong doctrines, will be held accountable at their Judgment.
Using Revelation 4:1 as a proof of a general rapture, is plainly wrong and destroys the whole 'rapture; belief.
please pray for the newly departed Theodora.
memory eternal!
The point? Like a watchman on the city wall, declare what is revealed.Good point. What IS the point of "warning people" about climate change being a hoax and a bank collapse?
If it is part of the great tribulation, then what exactly are we supposed to do about it?
If God ordained it or warns that it is definitely going to happen, we can't stop it, cause it, speed it up, slow it down, etc.
The best anyone can do is hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and aim for something good, which is what everyone should always be doing regardless of what's to come or who's prophecy is correct or incorrect.
