“He [Christ] Predestined ‘US’– 101”…Blog. [1/2]
*** (Ephesians 1:3-to-7) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He has blessed us in Christ; with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm,
(Eph 1:4) just as He [God] chose us in Him [Christ]; before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love
(Eph 1:5) He predestined us for adoption to Himself; through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of His will,
(Eph 1:6) so that we would praise His glorious grace that He gave us in the Beloved One.
(Eph 1:7) In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our offenses, according to the riches of God's grace
Does this one set of Bible verses… Teach that ‘Some’ are… “Predestined” to ‘Salvation’… and ‘Others’ are… “Predestined” to ‘Damnation’…? Absolutely NOT! Where does this ‘False Teaching’ come from…? From… Denominations, Churches and Supposed Theologians…! That is why God gave those; who are “Truly Born Again”… His Holy Spirit! Remember man’s teaching… is “NOT” God’s Holy Word… but only mans’ opinion; of what he ‘thinks’… God’s Holy Word Teaches. That is what happens when you ‘follow’… the teaching of Men… instead of the Holy Spirit teaching; about… His Holy Word! Simply remember in… “Luke 4:4 & Matthew 4:4”… Christ Jesus told Satan… “It Is Written”…! It is your responsibility; NOT to believe… Anyone… unless ‘You’ have “Validated the Truth”… with the Holy Word of God! Just as it is Written… in the Holy Scriptures…!
*** (1Corinthians 2:10-to-14) But God has revealed them to us by [Holy] His Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.
(1Cor 2:11) For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of man within him? So also no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
(1Cor 2:12) But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the [Holy] Spirit from God, so that we might know; the things that are freely given to us; by God.
(1Cor 2:13) These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
(1Cor 2:14) But the natural man ‘does not’ receive the things of the [Holy] Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; neither can he know them; because they are spiritually discerned.
*** (John 16:13-14) Yet when the [Holy] Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all Truth. For He will not speak on His own accord, but will speak whatever He hears and will declare to you the things that are to come.
(John 16:14) He will glorify Me, [Jesus]; for He [Holy Spirit] will take what is Mine and declare it to you.
*** (Deuteronomy 29:29) The secret things belong to Jehovah our God; but the revealed things belong to us and to our sons forever; so that we may do all the words of this Law.
*** (1Thessaloninas 5:21) Prove = “ALL” things; hold fast to the good.
*** (Acts 17:11) These people were more receptive than those in Thessalonica. They were very willing to receive the Word; and ‘every day’ they carefully examined the Scriptures; to see if those things were so. [Or Not!]

*** (Romans 8:26-to-31) In the same way, the [Holy] Spirit also helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we should. But the [Holy] Spirit Himself intercedes with groans too deep for words,
(Rom 8:27) and the One [God], Who searches our hearts knows the mind of the [Holy] Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit; intercedes for the saints according to God's will.
(Rom 8:28) And we know that he works all things together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
(Rom 8:29) For those whom He foreknew; He also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that He [Jesus] might be the firstborn among many brothers.
(Rom 8:30) And those whom He predestined; He also called; and those whom He called; He also justified; and those whom He justified; He also glorified.
(Rom 8:31) What, then, can we say about all of this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Once Again… The ‘ONLY’ Infinite God… has provided… Salvation in Christ Jesus; to a ‘Finite Human’… for… “ALL”… that would come to Him… “ONLY”… on His terms… “As it is Written”…!
*** (John 7:38-39) The one who believes in Me [Jesus]; as the Scripture has said; will have rivers of living water flowing from his heart."
(John 7:39) Now He [Jesus] said this about the [Holy] Spirit; Whom those who were believing in Him; were to receive. For the [Holy] Spirit was not yet present; because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
*** (Acts 15:8-9) God, Who knows everyone's heart; showed them He approved; by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us.
(Acts 15:9) He made no distinction between them [Gentiles] and us [Jews], because He [God] cleansed their hearts by faith.
*** (Ephesians 1:7) In Him [Jesus] we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our offenses, according to the riches of God's grace
(Eph 1:8) that He lavished on us, along with all wisdom and understanding,
(Eph 1:9) when He [God] made known to us the secret of His will. This was according to His plan that he set forth in Christ
(Eph 1:10) to usher in the fullness of the times; and to gather up all things in Christ, both things in heaven and things on earth.
(Eph 1:11) In Christ we were also chosen when we were predestined according to the purpose of the One [God] Who does everything; according to the intention of His will,
(Eph 1:12) so that we who had already fixed our hope on Christ; might live for His praise and glory.
(Eph 1:13) You, too, have heard the Word of Truth, the Gospel of your salvation. When you believed in Him [Christ]; you were ‘sealed’ with the promised Holy Spirit,
(Eph 1:14) Who is the guarantee of our inheritance; until the redemption of God's own possession, to His praise and glory.
*** (Romans 8:9) But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone; has not the Spirit of Christ; he is = “None” = of His.
Once Again… The ‘ONLY’ Infinite God… has provided… Salvation in Christ Jesus; to a ‘Finite Human’… for… “ALL”… that would come to Him… “ONLY”… on His terms… “As it is Written”…!
*** (Genesis 18:25) Far be it from You [God] to act in this manner, to kill the righteous with the wicked. And far be it from You, that the righteous should be as the wicked. Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
*** (John 1:9-to-14) He [Jesus] was the true Light; He enlightens = every man = coming into the world.
(Joh 1:10) He [Jesus] was in the world, and the world came into being through Him, and the world did not know Him.
(Joh 1:11) He came to His own; and His own received Him - NOT.
(Joh 1:12) But as many as received Him, He gave to them authority to become the children of God, to those who believe [John 7:38-39] on His name,
(Joh 1:13) who were born, not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but were born [again] of God.
(Joh 1:14) And the Word [Jesus] became flesh, and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father; full of grace and of truth.
What about those “WHO”… ‘Do Not’… [Will Not]… come to Christ; were they ‘Predestined’ to Damnation…? God provides Salvation; to… “ALL Mankind”… But it is “Rejected by Most!” Exactly what do the Scriptures say… about God’s “Witness & Testimony”… “About” Himself and His Salvation provided to… “All Mankind”…? Has the majority of Mankind… throughout history… “Rejected God”… and His Holy Word…? Absolutely Yes! Or have they be ‘Receptive’… to Him? Absolutely No! Even His chosen peoples… “The Jews”… have they been the Witness God wanted them to be… for “HIM”…? Absolutely Not! Has God declared Himself in other ways… so that mankind might see His Majesty… and seek Him…? Absolutely Yes! Has any of mankind… searched for God… that they might Know Him… or Not? “Not”…!
*** (Romans 3:10-11-12) as it is written: There is none righteous, no not one;
(Rom 3:11) there is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God.
(Rom 3:12) They are “ALL” gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable, there is none that does good, no; not one.
*** (Psalms 98:2-3) Jehovah has made known His salvation; His righteousness He has unveiled; to the eyes of the nations.
(Psa 98:3) He has remembered His mercy and His truth toward the house of Israel; “ALL” the ends of the earth; have ‘seen’ the salvation of Jehovah.
*** (Psalms 19:1-2-3) To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the expanse proclaims His handiwork.
(Psa 19:2) Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.
(Psa 19:3) There is no speech; nor are there words; where their voice: is not heard.
*** (Exodus 20:19-20) And they said to Moses, You speak with us, and we will hear. But let not God speak with us; lest we die.
(Exodus 20:20) And Moses said to the people; Do not fear, for God has come to test you; and so that His fear may be before your faces; so that you may not sin.
*** (Jeremiah 17:9) The heart is deceitful above all things; and desperately wicked: who can know it?
*** (Isaiah 55:6) Seek Jehovah [God] while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.
(Isa 55:7) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah; and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
(Isa 55:8) For My thoughts are not your thoughts; nor your ways My ways, says Jehovah.
(Isa 55:9) For as the heavens are higher than the earth; so are My ways higher than your ways; and My thoughts than your thoughts.
(Isa 55:10) For as the rain comes down, and the snow from the heavens, and does not return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring out and bud, and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
(Isa 55:11) so shall My Word be, which goes out of My mouth; it ‘shall not’ return to Me void; but it shall accomplish what I please; and it shall certainly do what I sent it to do.
