If so, then John 3: 16 says: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. So, according to orthodox Christianity, all a person needs to do is believe? And they can do this thru their own wills? Then how about John 1 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. So much for our "will", right? OK then, just a little further into that book, we have this scripture which, unlike John 3:16, I have never heard taught in a sermon: John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. So, how then can anyone believe, when God has not called him to believe? Is God a respecter of persons? Not according to Acts 10:34 He isn't. Please explain this apparent discrepancy. Luke 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Here's another gem that I have yet to hear taught in a sermon. In fact, I constantly heard the opposite, that Jesus taught in parables so everyone could understand them. According to orthodox Christianity, Jesus has just sentenced these people to be burned in real fire for an endless amount of time. Is Jesus a monster? No? Then please explain this apparent favoritism and discrepancy. Please explain the differences between the called and the elect, and what their purposes are. This is another one that preaches pointedly ignore. 2 Cor 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. The word translated as "world" is G165 a???´? aio¯n ahee-ohn' From the same as G104; properly an age; by extension perpetuity (also past); by implication the world; specifically (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future): - age, course, eternal, (for) ever (-more), [n-]ever, (beginning of the, while the) world (began, without end). Compare G5550. and in the same book is translated as "forevermore" and "forever". How can this be??? And the definition of this word is about as nonsensical as one can possibly get. An age does not mean perpetuity, "world" is a noun, an age is not eternal or forever. If none of these get you kicked out of babylon, I can post more as I am led to do so. There is so much more. If you really want to tick off your pastor, do a word study on "eternal" and "hell" and show him that these words dont even belong in scripture. .
