U = UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION (Calvinism teaches that God selects those who are to be saved without any condition, but the Bible teaches that there is one condition to salvation: faith.):
1 Peter 1:2: "Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ..."
2 Thessalonians 2:13: "...God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the Truth."
Luke 7:50: "... Thy faith hath saved thee ..."
Ephesians 2:8: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God."
"Why would God call upon people to spread the word? If God already picked who was going to be saved any bod who was damed to hell...bother starting churches to spread the word?????"
Why would God use doctors when he can just heal everyone himself?
Why would God use an angel or a donkey to deliver his message when he can just do so himself?
Why would God tell Israel to kill everyone in a city when he can just do so Himself?
and so on and so on...........
The answer: He is God. He does whatever He chooses according to the good pleasure of His own will.
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. Ps 115:3
The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths. Ps 135:6

These scripture's are not answer's to the question, nor do they add up to faith, but are uses of some that do not rightly divide the word of Truth.
The father will not violate his written word nor will he ever change.
The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths. Ps 135:6
I have read several of your posts on the boards. Either you speak in riddles or your communication skills are very lacking. I say this because I have yet to understand anything that I have read from your posts or how it relates to what the other people have said.
Sorry if that sounds insulting. There is just really no way to answer your comments.

That would imply as if one was not In Christ, or aware of biblical teaching.
The Holy Ghost will help any that want's to walk in truth.
No christian should ever make a blanket statement that God can do whatever he wants because he is God.
What is hard to understand.
Btw the Way the answer is simple the father always requires faith on man's part, and he is no respecter of person's it is of no private interpretation.

God can do whatever He wants because He is God!!!! And who are you, oh man, to argue against Him?
I am glad you ask, I am one with The Lord Jesus full, of the Holy Ghost.
I am one that believes that father is not a man that he would lie, in otherwords when he says man can believe his word I honor him and take him at his word. I am not irresponsible and making statements like he can do whatever he wants and thus calling him a liar, for I see that he holds himself to his word.
I am one that believes when he said that whosoever believeth in him shall receive eternal life I receive his word, and I believe his promises are yes and amen.
I believe his word because he is my father and I know
him intimately
I am a believer knowing how displeasing it is to him for men continually trying to explain him intellectually when he said carnality is at enmity with him.
I am one that know's the denial in the doctrine of men in limited atonement
I am one that believes as he said that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God, so when the word of God is proclaimed I know it is man's choice to hear and believe and then responsibility act in faith in agreement with the word proclaimed.
I am one that knows that the truth proclaimed in Jn 3:16 apply's to all of mankind, I am one walking in the light of the promise of the context of Jn 3:16 the word of God is incorruptible. I am one that knows that any sinner that will act upon this scripture or any scripture that will bring them to the lord Jesus in faith will usher them into the kingdom of God.
I am one that knows and understand's how the word of God in 2nd Cor 5:17
2nd Cor 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2nd Cor 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2nd Cor 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
2nd Cor 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ�s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2nd Cor 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2nd Cor 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2nd Cor 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
This is the ministry of the church to the lost and in the father's eye's all are already accepted into the family of God, just as he said.
I am one that knows that any man or woman or child can respond to these scriptures and be born again.
I am a man that know's that the morning I was born again not knowing any scripture or knowing who was talking to me, and I so profoundly said if you are I guess I will and from that moment I would open my mouth and father would come out, and my mind would say why do I keep saying that, I am a man that knows him first hand and intimately and because I know him intimately, he has taught me thru his word and by his Spirit the tactic's of the father of lies and his earnest effort's to bring confusion into the Church.
In case I did not make it clear I am one that know's the gross denial of the finished work of the lord Jesus, in the lie of limited atonement.
The word know is very clear here, there is no knowing by the intellect, mind and reasoning and logic.
