Concerning election .

There is a strange idea that some people are elected for damnation and others are not .on the face of it this is what the scriptures teach But consider this if you will .Given that therevis not one person born of Adam that is born of that corruptible seed that is not predestined or predetermined to bring forth corruption unto death for every seed brings forth fruit after its own kind . ToGod has also stated that He is not willing that ANY should perish but that ALL should come to a knowledge of the truth" in that it says ALL none is excluded and all are included . I am not speaking about universalism where some think all will be saved . I'm talking about Gods will that NONE shouid perish but that ALL should come to a knowledge of the truth .

I'm talking about the nature character and disposition of God .

I'm saying that even as " by one man's disobedience ALL die " So also by one man's obedience ALL shall live " .

I'm saying that God Almighty is quite capable ( and willing) to save ALL and has the pioneer and ability to do so .

For God did not send Jesus to save what you call the elect only but for the whole world .. Everyone .

For as " the serpent was lifted up in the wilderness so must the Son of Man be lifted up and if I be lifted up,I will draw ALL men unto me" in that He said ALL none is omitted .

Now on the day of Pentecost is it not written and quoted God will pour out His Spirit upon ALL flesh? In that it says ALL none ar3 excluded .

Now if ALL are drawn to Calvary then it is Gods will that ALL not only come to a knowledge of the truth but that all men be saved .

But not all will so come but will resist the drawing of God and resist Gods will . And deny The Truth . But to resist the irresistible is it not to bring destruction upon your own head? And to deny the irrefutable is it not to bring damnation upon your own head?

Calvary GIVES NOT A . OF GLORY TO ANY Man . All the glory is Gods . To be continued--
