Oh where to start? Your scriptural postings are taken out of context and bear no relation to partiality re the elect
It makes no difference if it's about the elect or not. A Perfect Judge is impartial to all. That is a fundamental understanding. Partial means one who shows favoritism. God's blessings are given to all. His blessings are available to everyone. What we do with them is what we will be judged onincluding the so-called "elect."
In fact what translation is it you are using anyway? The word "partial" is not in the KJV
So? What's so special about KJV except that it is thoroughly protestantized and therefore useless to me? I used NAB. I checked it againt NIV and KJV (to be sure, for I knew someone will say "it's not in the KJV") and in all cases the words were synonimous (i.e. partiality = favoritism, etc.)
Acts 10:34, is interestingly followed by verse 35
That verse does not suggest that God is partial, but that He justly rewards what is just, whether you are elect or not. The Jews believed that only they are the "elect" and even the Apostles were amazed that the Gentiles received the Holy Spirit. The concept of divine favoritism is one of the errors of the Old Covenant to which, apparently, some supposefdly New Covenant Christians subscribe as well.
Romans 2:11 is preceded by Romans2: 1-10 in which God is shown to judge all men fairly
Imagine that! Are you saying I was suggesting otherwise by stating that God is impartial? LOL! In fact, I even state that God judges men fairly when I worte: "In the Christian mindset, it is to be understood that God, who is the Perfect Judge, is perfectly impartial, unbiased, shows no favoritism, or respect for human titles or external appearances of men."
I guess you didn't get that far before you fired off your response. Perhaps re-reading might help?
Yep. And you've just proven our point.
The fact that "the Apostles were amazed the Gentiles received the Holy Spirit" tells us God's election is not based on works, but upon His good pleasure alone.
"And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed." -- Acts 13:48
