Yes, but it is there. Therefore, needs to be dealt with.

The problem is that "predestine" and "elect" are in scripture. There needs to be a good interpretation of those two concepts which oppose Calvinism. Which I have not seen yet.

And if "with the" were added. How does that change when Paul received the Holy Spirit? [with the] Holy Ἁγίου (Hagiou) Adjective - Genitive Neuter Singular Strong's 40: Set apart by (or for) God, holy, sacred. From hagos; sacred.

On The Road to Damascus. Jesus choose Saul to become a disciple to the gentiles.

"And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately there fell from his eyes something like...

"For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander" (Matthew 15:19). If evil comes from the heart, where does love come from?

What is your version?

"For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people" (Titus 2:11).

Yes, but is that putting the earthly nature to death?

"Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry" (Col. 3:5). How does one put that earthly nature to death?
