DEBATE: Deuteronomy 7:5-10, Why Were the Israelites Chosen by God, Why Not the Egyptians?

Larry Wessels, director of Christian Answers/Christian Debater (YouTube channel: CANSWERSTV, websites: BIBLEQUERY.ORG, HISTORYCART.COM & MUSLIMHOPE.COM) debates Steve McCalip, author & producer of "KingJamesVideoMan," on the subject of WHO did Jesus die for. Bob L. Ross, leading publisher of Charles Haddon Spurgeon (please check official website: PILGRIMPUBLICATIONS.COM), is the moderator. Educational backgrounds of debaters: Wessels- Bachelor of Science in Advertising from the University of Texas at Austin, completed extension course taught by Dr. J.I. Packer of Regent College, Vancouver, Canada, studied virtually every book or tape produced by Walter Martin of the Christian Research Institute & Dr. R.C. Sproul of Ligonier Ministries, worked with Pilgrim Publications (C.H. Spurgeon) since 1990, attended Dayspring Fellowship of Austin, Texas (Pastor Jackson Boyett, www.dayspringchapel.org) since 1982. McCalip- Bachelor's degree from Baylor University, 2 Master's Degrees in Education from the University of Houston. Theological background: Wessels- Classical Protestant Reformed Doctine, Affirms the Trinity (Father , Son & Holy Spirit), McCalip- Arminian Doctrine, Denial of the Trinity, Affirms King James Bible only. A popular book out is entitled "History's Greatest Lies;" although this book doesn't mention the following it should have: Darwin's Evolution Theory, Global Warming, Muhammad was a prophet of God, the only true "church" is headed by a Roman Pope, etc. Another "greatest lie" would be to say Jesus died for people He did not indeed die for. There are only 3 possibilities: 1. Christ died to save all men therefore all are saved 2. Christ died to save no one in particular (men then must save themselves) or 3. Christ died to save a certain number (who God then actively saves) from eternal damnation in the Lake of Fire. This debate has been going on for centuries & in recent times has had more notoriety because of a book written by Dave Hunt of "The Berean Call" entitled, "What Love Is This?," which makes many of the same emotional Arminian arguments as Steve McCalip in this debate. Multnomah Publishers also produced a book entitled "Debating Calvinism" between Hunt & James R. White of Alpha & Omega Ministries. Ergun Caner of Islam fame has also taken issue with "The Five Points of Calvinism," namely: 1. Total Depravity, 2. Unconditional Election, 3. Limited Atonement, 4. Irresistible Grace, & 5. Perseverance of the Saints. The real question, ""Is God sovereign over man or is man's free will sovereign over God & His purposes?" Who is REALLY in control?

This is just a single episode of a 24 part (10 minute presentation) debate. To see this same 4 hour debate in 1 hour segments as it was originally recorded, copy & paste the following title into the YOUTUBE search box, "DID JESUS DIE FOR EVERYBODY WHO EVER LIVED OR NOT? DEBATE."

ha those so called jews are made from the synagogue of satan.. the very proof of the true israelites is in the bibe which does not match the people living in israel

[CAnswersTV]

@killacalred The comparison between the true Jews in the Bible & the ones living in Israel today is a hard one to make. Just reading the Old Testament history & the prophets (such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, etc) you find that not many of the Jews living in Israel at that time were considered to be real Jews following the laws of Moses (this is why God destroyed most of them or scattered them throughout the nations). See our channel page CANSWERSTV for more discussion on the Jews of today.

All this God stuff is annoying. If God (whoever that may be) has chosen israel for the jews, he should tell us not them because I wouldn't believe a jew if he said he was lying. God only exists in the heads of maniacs and is used for maniacal purposes!

[CAnswersTV]

@bashie34 I can see you have a deep seeded hatred for God & the Jews. The Biblical God (for documentation substantiating the validity of the Biblical record - history, archeology, fulfilled prophecy, manuscript evidence, etc.- see our 3 websites: BIBLEQUERY ORG, HISTORYCART COM & MUSLIMHOPE COM, along with our 350 videos posted on GOOGLE VIDEO & VIMEO VIDEO, search LARRY WESSELS on their homepages) says "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God" (Psalm 14:1). God doesn't agree with you!

[bashie34]

@CAnswersTV

Wow how clever Now the puppets and trolls are trying to make GOD and the Jews into one. I am not surprised you are a Jew. For Jews already THINK they are God on earth , which overrides anything that god has commanded them with any logic nor teachings.

[CAnswersTV]

@bashie34 Wow, how IGNORANT! Who said God & the Jews are the same?! You say I am a Jew?! You say YOU understand "logic" & "teachings"?! The only thing you've proven by your illogical & asinine comments here is that you're a theological IGNORAMUS dealing in soteriological subjects you know nothing about. We are not Jews (type LARRY WESSELS in YOUTUBE search box). The Quran, Sura 2:62, says Muslims, Jews & Christians will be saved - "shall have their reward with their Lord." Do you believe that?

[killacalred]

@CAnswersTV yeah he sent them to america, puerto rico, brazil, colombia, and various other south american and caribbean countries

[CAnswersTV]

@StephenKuma Since the Bible contains over 2000 fulfilled prophecies concerning all types of events that actually happened in history, the "probability" of the Bible being true is greater than any other religious book on the face of the earth (including Darwin's evolution fairytale). The day Jesus was crucified saw 33 Old Testament prophecies fulfilled, let alone another 300 fulfilled prophecies in the life of Jesus. See our SPIRITUAL WARFARE series on YOUTUBE.

@GtrudeY I always find it interesting when doubters of either the existence of God or of the reliability of the Bible show their faces one word they always use is "PROBABLY." They say "probably" God does not exist or "probably" Moses did not write the first five books of the Bible or "probably" Jesus never existed, etc. Everything is based on a "probability" factor proving they are UNCERTAIN themselves of whether it is true or not. Read "Evidence that Demands a Verdict."
