Doctrine of Unconditional Election

Actually, it is folks like you who deny the cross of Christ~need proof?

Again:

The scriptures are clear that that Jesus Christ acted as a surety for God's elect only not for all men without exceptions. If you reject this bible truth, you are guilty before God of denying a truth which is taught from Genesis until the end of the word of God, and you fall under the same curse as all false prophets throughout the word of God and the very ones mentioned by both apostles, Peter and Jude.

You tell me how folks deny the Lord that bought them~the church of Jesus Christ~by saying our Lord Jesus Christ did not just bought them but every single person that ever lived~blasphemy! He died only for the elect sheep of God Almighty. We can discuss this truth as much as you think you can defend your false gospel, which will not be very long, pretty sure of that.

You are guilty of turning the grace of God into lasciviousness by saying Jesus Christ, loved, and died for sinners, who leave this world hating God, his truth, and his people~blasphemy! That's another gospel, not taught in the word of God, but from the heart of Satan himself, who was not one of the elect angels.
Hello these were not the elect

2nd Peter 2:1​

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”
Again:

Jude 1:4​

“For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Seriously you provided no proof

These show you do not have a leg to stand on

1 Timothy 2:4–6

Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

John 11:51
And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Show me one verse that states Christ is the elect. Not a verse that says "elect in Christ", which refers to saved people, but a verse that specifically says Christ is THE elect.
Here are two

Isaiah 42:1 (ESV) — 1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations.

1 Peter 2:6–7 (KJV 1900) — 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
 
Hello these were not the elect
I'm only going to say very few words to you Tom, since you have very little knowledge of how to give scriptures their proper sense according to Nehemiah 8:8.
Hello these were not the elect
I never said they were part of the elect, of course they were not, yet they, just like you, profess to be of God, yet deny the very purpose of the atonement made by Christ for his people. By preaching Christ died for all men without exceptions, denys the very scriptures that cleary teaches Christ was sent as a surety for God's elect, given to him by his Father to be sin for, that they might be made the righteousness of God through his obedience and suffering~per John 17 and many other scriptures. He gave his life for the sheep~read John 10~he did not died for goats. If Jesus Christ was a surety for all men without an exception, then God would be unjust not to pardon all men without an exception, if their sins were legally paid by Jesus' life, death and resurrection.

Have you ever heard of the law of double jeopardy? If men have such a law, being sinful, God is more righteous than men are, and would never punish twice for the crimes committed, if payment was paid in full, and Christ did indeed paid for the sins of all God's elect by his life, death, and resurrection from the dead.
The Double Jeopardy Clause in the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution prohibits anyone from being prosecuted twice for substantially the same crime.
Your preaching is saying that man's laws are more righteous than God is and he will punish twice for the same sins that were paid for.

Those scriptures you posted above I have more than once address and will not do so again, unless you want to pick out one of two which you think cannot be answered than I will consider doing so.

Of course Christ is the head of the elect, making him God's elect sent forth to redeem spiritual Israel.

Again:
The whole Psalm points only to Christ, David's son.

Sorry you are begging the question

Assuming your doctrine of unconditional election and then limiting atonement to the elect

There are many verses you need to deal with which speaks of Christ's work for all

1 Timothy 2:4–6
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

So they were not the elect but Christ bought them. How did he buy them?

First your responses were quite inadequate to the task

second, your speculations concerning double payment are based on an assumed view of the atonement

You have a commercial view of the atonement.

God elected some for salvation. Jesus paid for their sin and they therefore are saved

That is not biblical atonement. Atonement is a provisional measure insuring that those who believe in Christ receive forgiveness of sin and salvation

Christ gave us a parallel to the salvation process


The Bronze Serpent
4 From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. And the people became impatient on the way. 5 And the people spoke against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this worthless food.” 6 Then the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died. 7 And the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against you. Pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. 8 And the LORD said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.


The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Nu 21:4–9.

The serpent was held up so that anyone who looked on it would be healed

It was a provision for all, but only those who took advantage of that provision were healed

So also

John 3:14–15 (KJV 1900) — 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.


though Christ died on behalf of all only those who believe receive the benefits of the atonement and have their sins forgiven
 
When professing Christians preach universal salvation for all~they in essence reject the truth that Christ's death was "only" for the purchasing of the church, the called out ones!

The question is did he finish the work God gave him to do? We say, yes indeed he did. Not one of those given to him was lost, not one!
Sorry I do not see the word only in the text


You add to the text and You simply beg the Question

Does Paul statement that Christ died for him mean he did not die for the other apostles

Galatians 2:20 (ESV) — 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.


In fact he died even for Judas

Luke 22:14–23 (KJV 1900) — 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. 21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. 22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! 23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

your post is in error as Jesus died for everyone not just some.

Jesus died for all is what he Bible teaches not just some elect group- thats heresy.

Romans 5:18
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

1 Timothy 2:4–6
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Hebrews 2:9

1 Timothy 4:10

John 6:51
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

2 Corinthians 5:14–15
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

1 John 2:2
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

2 Corinthians 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.

1 Timothy 2:1-6
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.

As we see above the Apostle Paul says we are to pray for " ALL " people everywhere even for the " kings in authority" and then uses the same word in the same context of " ALL " people with Jesus giving His life as a ransom for all.

You cannot have ALL mean two different things in the context of the passage. That is once again being dishonest with the text and reading ones doctrine into the passage which is eisegesis.

hope this helps !!!

This treatise by Paul should forever eliminate the false idea that election is based upon anything foreseen in or of the sinner. Its totally unconditional ! Its totally of Sovereign prerogative !
Totally unimportant!!!

Bottom line: God shows mercy to some, and not to others.

The minister has no idea whether the person he's preaching to is "elect" or not. the person has no idea whether he's "Elect or not - until AFTER they've been born again. SO if you're convicted of your SIN by the Holy Spirit - you're "Elect" and it's YOUR MOVE to Repent of your sin and call on God in Faith (the result of Conviction - God's WORD to you) for salvation.

The rest is nothing but "Theology".

Israel was Gods elect yet we know most died in unbelief. Sounds familiar with many here about their belief or should I say they don’t believe since it was never their faith to begin with lol.
 
Its crystal clear that the scriptures teach election, even unconditional election in salvation. Most people will agree that election is taught in scripture, but very few agree that its unconditional, and totally by grace and Gods sovereign good pleasure, not outside of Himself. Even the OT scripture indicates Gods sovereign prerogative in election and having mercy on whomever He will Ex 33:19

And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. In this discriminatory fashion God exhibits His Glory

Now Paul alludes to this scripture in his treatise on unconditional election in Rom 9:11-16

11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth)

12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.

13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

We learn that there is what Paul terms "the purpose of God according to election" This is a salvific purpose,. its answering the seeming dilema as to why so many jews in national israel are being lost Rom 9:1-6


Its from this background that Paul develops his treatise on the doctirne of unconditional election, or "the purpose of God according to election"

Now let us look at what Rom 9 tells us: By writer of godsonlygospel.com "election is just not fair.


I do differ with the author regarding his statement "The saved are those who are elected by grace through faith, "

I believe the saved are those who are elected by Grace, minus the faith, but Faith being the consequent of election by grace.

However the main point is, the elect are not elected based upon any foreseen actions or deeds , good or bad, that man has done or will do, because the election of grace was made before they were born to do any actions whatsoever, thats the Apostles point.

This treatise by Paul should forever eliminate the false idea that election is based upon anything foreseen in or of the sinner. Its totally unconditional ! Its totally of Sovereign prerogative !
Your presupposition that the "saved are those who are elected by Grace, minus the faith," is a Biblically false presupposition. Consider Eph 2:8-9 which says exactly the opposite of your assumption.

And your presupposition that "the elect are not elected based upon any foreseen actions or deeds , good or bad, that man has done or will do, because the election of grace was made before they were born to do any actions whatsoever" is also a Biblically false presupposition. Consider 1 Pet 1:1-2 - "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who reside as strangers, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you."

How were the chosen (elect) determined? according to the foreknowledge of God. What did He foreknow? Everything! He knew before He created the universe everything that would happen in the universe that He was about to create. His knowledge is so vast, that even before He created Adam, He knew your name. Even before He made the Sun, He knew what you would have for breakfast this morning. He never didn't know who would obey Him, and so on the basis of what He already knew, He chose to save those who obeyed Him in faith.

Consider also Rom 8:29. "For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters;"
People like to talk about our predestination, but predestination is based on God's foreknowledge of us. Again, He knew before He created the universe that there were some who would accept Him, and obey Him, and be His.

The minister has no idea whether the person he's preaching to is "elect" or not. the person has no idea whether he's "Elect or not - until AFTER they've been born again.
