Gods
You assume that men deserve to be saved ..that they have some right to be saved..it is their due..God owes it to them..
Why me?...I do not know that,but scripture says
Rom 9:11 (For [the children] being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)It is Gods decision
Eph 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
I am a sinner saved by the grace of God..
He's already said that all have sinned. I have already said that everyone deserved Hell. I don't think anyone has said anything even close to your comment above. That's not a charge that can stick. The only thing I can think that comes close is some Calvinist saying that elect unbelievers go to Heaven. Now that's a heresy.
What is election according to? Who are the children in this passage? Who on this thread says that anyone is saved by a work? Just the Calvinist who clims that the work of sprinkling a baby engrafts it into Christ.
Elect, amen and yes. According to foreknowledge.
2 Peter 3:9 ¶The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
