@gracetruthguy ENLIGHTENED HUMANIST

@gracetruthguy LOL save me the transliteration. I read Koine Greek by sight.
You are the one practicing eisegesis not I. Light only shows what is TRULY there that is HIDDEN in the darkness. It reveals mans true nature. There is the "light" NOUN/Jesus and "gives light" "revealing"... and you ASSUME (eisegesis) that Judas.. etc... rejected the LIGHT, but I was referring to what the lighting (the verb) reveals. Natural man thinks he is good denying what the lighting is revealing about himself.

Hi Ron,
"That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world" John 1:9
You said: "The light here in the Greek is a revealing the true NATURE of man, it shows who they really are, in their natural state all they can do and WANT to do is suppress it."
TO PHÓS is just "the light"
Seriously do you know the definition of eisegesis?

@gracetruthguy Bad understanding of light in John 1:9. The light here in the Greek is a revealing the true NATURE of man, it shows who they really are, in their natural state all they can do and WANT to do is suppress it. They are still PREPARED of destruction and it is not an ACTIVE or self acted upon verb (Ro 9:22) It is a PASSIVE done by God. Judas didn't pick himself by his actions LOL He was prophesied and chosen. Jo 6:70/71 and Luke 22:3. Refer to Job, he can only do what God wants.

Hi Ron,
HOW God uses people to do evil things, tells us the righteousness of God.
It is AFTER they have already themselves shown their denial of the light which all men receive (John1:9).
Which is why Paul says no one is AFORE PREPARED (1 Greek Verb) in R9:22-23 to evil. It isthose who show themselves FIT for that who are then used in the deception of God's choice (for His purposes to be carried out). See 2 Thess.2:10-12 for the cause and effect. That is how Judas was picked.

Hi Ron,
I'm glad U read God would not command it, but Calvin says God decreed everything that comes to pass, so U disagree with Calvin here since these things happened which God did not command.
Unless you wish to say God decrees things He does not command. (illogical)
God does not ask of us what we cannot do
He does require us to work with Him to make it so, but that is part of the ability we are given: i.e. to ask.
Draw near to God and He will draw near. He can't if you won't.
-
@gracetruthguy You are. It didn't enter his... what? Better look at the Hebrew (I doubt you know it though). Nope, God wouldn't command it. He commands the opposite. But again, God has His Will for us to follow, (that which we can't) and His Decreeing Will, that which WILL be done in order to perfect accomplish His purpose. Who can stay his hand?
-
Hi Ron,
God says it never entered His mind and He did not command it, yet you say Yes He did?
Who is being deceived?
sola scriptura

Hi jwoodell3,
I believe in sola scriptura.
Your comment does not reflect what you believe on the 'Calvi' issue.
May I recommend my video
"Paul's teaching of conditional predestination - Jacques More"
Please note the information below the video gives a link to a chapter that demonstrates the adding of "His" to Romans8:28 shows calvis who inserted it are not into sola scriptura but wish all to divert from it.
