Regeneration happens when a person is saved.
God does not regenerate unbelievers to cause them to believe.
That false teaching is nowhere in the Bible.
Show one scripture that says God saves unbelievers.
Paul's gospel was much different than the gospel of Jesus' original followers. Remember when Paul wrote that he "opposed Peter to his face"?
The drawn elects are saved cause God thought of them

You, dear Bunny, are under the wrong gospel!
Is the "original original post" similar to the "good message message"?BTW We are now up to post #1008 and no one has answered the original OP
Faith alone is dead and cannot save anyone.
Well said! You are in tune with James 2:26 when he says that faith without the works of the Law is like a body without the breath of life. Really dead if you know what I mean.
Thank you , Ben Masada. Faith alone is dead without right action; for even the demons believe and do something, they shudder (James 2:19).
Jesus is the Sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
ALL are drawn to Jesus.
John 12:32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."
Of course Jesus died for those that are drawn by God. Every single one that are drawn WILL be saved.
Shuddering is not doing something. Just goes to show the very basis of your supposed "understanding" - you read your ideas into the passages and then conclude the Spirit lead you to that idea.
Shuddering is no more of the will than sweating is.
Clueless is what you are.
Mark characterizes the disciples as clueless and afraid.and Paul had different way of dealing with Jesus' followers.
I don't believe Jesus appointed 12 apostles incapable leading His people.
They are as much capable as Paul. They are equally brothers. No one is above anyone. Jesus is the head and rest are all the same. This is what Jesus said.
He says don't let any one call you a teacher because Jesus is the Teacher. I have been repeating this because most of you are ignoring it.
As John Lennon once observed "Jesus was alright but his disciples were thick [stupid] and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me."
You have no understanding because it is not given to you because you do not obey.
Mark characterizes the disciples as clueless and afraid.
You have no understanding because it is not given to you because you do not obey.
We have to watch our lives and our doctrines closely. Obviously, you have not.
1 Timothy 4:16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
Her standard spam, that she throws up, on every fourth post, that says nothing, when she is getting pummeled.
You deceitful clown-ette. Leave this site, as you are an embarrassment, and most of TOL laughs at you, and are bored with you.
