[Frumanchu]

There are many Commentaries that will more than adequately explain the passage for those who are open to instruction. For those who are not, it is nothing more than the basis of an argument. I have responded and you apparently either missed, denied, or didn't recognize truth.

There are also many commentaries that agree with what I see the passage as saying.

I read your response, but your response does not make sense in light of the passage. Those who believed were already appointed unto eternal life prior to that belief. The English seems pretty obvious. You argued from the original Greek in John 1:12-13. Can you show my from the Greek in Acts 13:48 what I'm missing or what is "lost in the translation" with respect to this verse?
