Can your briefly explain election in Romans 8:29-30?

Theological Flowerbeds - D.A.I.S.Y. vs. T.U.L.I.P.

Freemasonry and Idolatry
Thanks for your question. This is a topic very close to my heart as my own father was a Mason. When he died he didn’t go to Heaven. Though a devote Freemason, he never knew Christ as his Lord and…
The Re-Newed or New Covenant?
In Jeremiah 31:31 we see God renewing, restoring, or refreshing - not replacing - the covenant with his people. So why do we express the covenant in such terms? While there are a myriad of answers…
Is the Sabbath Saturday or Sunday?
The argument for Sunday observance of the Sabbath which I find most compelling is as follows: We begin with the premise that the Bible doesn't actually teach that we are to meet on the seventh day of…
Jesus the Sinner
No, Jesus never sinned. The Bible specifically says that Jesus was sinless: "Christ . . . offered himself without blemish to God" (Heb. 9:14). The author of Hebrews also teaches: "Since then we have…
Calvinism and John 3:16?
John 3:16 is probably the first verse that most in the Christian faith memorize. It is more than likely the most misinterpreted verse in Scripture. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave…
Moses - a Type of Christ?

Calvinism and 1 Timothy 2:4, 6?
