    Salvation by grace through faith and our responsibility?

    Spiritual death is first described with Adam and Eve after eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They were not responding obediently to God, but God began to repair it. Life towards God needs God to be present and available. Or we only have our consciences to guide us.

    James 4:2-3 NKJV 2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and [a]war. [b]Yet you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. How were you and your friends born again? You...

    You seem to just quote one verse out of context, and when I bring it in context you offer no explanation and simply quote it again. Ipse dixit?

    Salvation by grace through faith and our responsibility?

    From the NLT verse 29: 29For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. From the YLT 29because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might...

    Salvation by grace through faith and our responsibility?

    Someone who believes grace is irresistible and ministers can pray for others to be sprinkled with the sacred blood of Jesus with confidence, explaining the power and promise. But if someone manifests a demon that screams right at that moment, or someone comes in and screams, and I saw both, then...

    If one uses Sola Scriptura or uses scripture to explain scripture, there must be no cancel outs or contradictions, Romans 9:20 is part of a bigger thought from Paul the apostle. It does not say that God won't let some people live with predetermined condemnation.

    Salvation by grace through faith and our responsibility?

    From Romans 8:29 the intended purpose is to persuade and save. God "foreknew" you would take the offer.

    Salvation by grace through faith and our responsibility?

    I have been quoting verses and referring to context, can you explain how you think I have been doing this? Are you trying to say God makes the choice regarding a person's salvation? He condemns some He can save?

    NKJV Romans 10:8-13 8But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with the...

    If Jesus' blood is applied to a person, they best know and accept it, but if they want they can harden their hearts, perhaps in confusion. Then their hearts are very hard. God tells Israel not to harden their hearts as they did at Meribah in the Exodus. They and we, have a choice.

    The context founding on and not later contradicting Romans 8:29 Our foes in debate the Muslims and especially anti-theists, would say the Bible is full of contradictions, myths and legends. Romans 9:30-33. NKJV. Paul after your verse choice explains: 30What shall we say then? That Gentiles...

    Salvation by grace through faith and our responsibility?

    Us coming to love God takes our choice and allowance. We must ask for the Holy Spirit, when offered. And allow the fruit of the Spirit, by dying to self. There are ways God can persuade us to reverence Him and honour Him. His patience and kindness lead to repentance. His goodness tastes good and...

    Salvation by grace through faith and our responsibility?

    That is out of context, with Romans being about struggling with sin, the law, the conscience and the flesh, the sin nature, writing to both Jews and Romans, asking who will save me, then chapter 8, grace, the Spirit, the power of the resurrection, offered to all, preached to all possible, and...
