Who is Jesus?

[Wholeheart]

Gods great Mercy is limited to His elect a remnant

Wrong.

Divine willingness to extend mercy is shown in Genesis 18:16–33

16 The men rose up from there and faced toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham [My friend and servant] what I am going to do, [Gal. 3:8.]
18 Since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed through him and shall bless themselves by him? [Gen. 12:2-3.]
19 For I have known (chosen, acknowledged) him [as My own], so that he may teach and command his children and the sons of his house after him to keep the way of the Lord and to do what is just and righteous, so that the Lord may bring Abraham what He has promised him.
20 And the Lord said, Because the shriek [of the sins] of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is exceedingly grievous,
21 I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether [as vilely and wickedly] as is the cry of it which has come to Me; and if not, I will know.
22 Now the [two] men turned from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord.
23 And Abraham came close and said, Will You destroy the righteous (those upright and in right standing with God) together with the wicked?
24 Suppose there are in the city fifty righteous; will You destroy the place and not spare it for [the sake of ] the fifty righteous in it?
25 Far be it from You to do such a thing—to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as do the wicked! Far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth execute judgment and do righteously?
26 And the Lord said, If I find in the city of Sodom fifty righteous (upright and in right standing with God), I will spare the whole place for their sake.
27 Abraham answered, Behold now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord.
28 If five of the fifty righteous should be lacking—will You destroy the whole city for lack of five? He said, If I find forty-five, I will not destroy it.
29 And [Abraham] spoke to Him yet again, and said, Suppose [only] forty shall be found there. And He said, I will not do it for forty’s sake.
30 Then [Abraham] said to Him, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak [again]. Suppose [only] thirty shall be found there. And He answered, I will not do it if I find thirty there.
31 And [Abraham] said, Behold now, I have taken upon myself to speak [again] to the Lord. Suppose [only] twenty shall be found there. And [the Lord] replied, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake.
32 And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again only this once. Suppose ten [righteous people] shall be found there. And [the Lord] said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.
33 And the Lord went His way when He had finished speaking with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us].

No God's Mercy is only for a remnant Micah 7:18

18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy

 

[Selah]

Not true all of God's elect began their lives hating God and in unbelief

Why don’t you ever post scripture to prove your point? Show me where in the Bible it says this. You’ll never find it.

No God's Mercy is only for a remnant Micah 7:18

18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy

Micah 7:18 emphasizes God's unique nature of mercy and forgiveness. The verse poses a rhetorical question, "Who is a God like unto thee?" highlighting God's unparalleled compassion and faithfulness, especially in forgiving sins. It serves as a testament to God's character, showcasing His ability to forgive and show mercy to those who have sinned, reinforcing the message of hope and confidence in God's enduring love.
Micah 7:18 celebrates the singular glory of God: no one compares with Him. He lifts away our guilt, lets judgment pass us by, refuses to keep anger simmering, and does all this because His deepest delight is steadfast covenant love. The verse points straight to the cross of Christ, where God’s uniqueness, pardon, Passover provision, tempered anger, and delighted love converge in perfect harmony—for the remnant of faith, and for all who trust Him.

18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy

There is no expiration date on God’s mercy toward us. His mercies are new every morning in that they are perpetual and always available to all those in need.

"God's mercy is new every morning" is a phrase from the Bible, specifically Lamentations 3:22-23, which speaks to the daily, unending nature of God's love, compassion, and grace. This concept serves as a source of hope, reminding believers that each new day offers a fresh start and an opportunity to experience renewed forgiveness and strength, free from the burden of past mistakes.

Lamentations 3:22–23 says,
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.”

His Mercy is for a remnant. Do you know what a remnant is

No need to get chesty, try to stay calm, cool and collected.

If we belong to the elect remnant

 

[Samson]

If we belong to the elect remnant

His mercies are new every morning in that they are perpetual and always available to all those in need.

Salvation is offered to all who have faith, and the concept of a predetermined "non-elect" who cannot be saved is rejected as false. That is a Calvinist misconception of which there are many.

His Mercy is for a remnant. Do you know what a remnant is

Do you know what a broken record is.

To understand who God's mercies are for, consider the following points:

• All Humanity: God's mercies extend to everyone, regardless of background or status.
• The Repentant: Those who turn away from sin and seek forgiveness receive His mercy.
• The Suffering: Individuals in pain or distress can find comfort in God's merciful nature.
• The Humble: Those who approach God with humility and a contrite heart are met with mercy.
• The Lost: God's mercies are especially for those who feel lost or disconnected from Him.
• The Faithful: Believers who strive to live according to His will experience His ongoing mercies.

Nah, you always run away from scripture, it seems. Show me where God says that all of His elect began their lives hating God and in unbelief.

The elect were by nature ungodly and enemies in their minds Rom 5:6-10

6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

The elect were by nature ungodly and enemies in their minds Rom 5:6-10

6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Romans 5:6-10 teaches about God's demonstrated love through Christ's death for sinners and enemies, emphasizing His initiative in saving humanity while they were ungodly and in rebellion. The core message is the "much more" principle: if God loved us enough to die for us when we were His enemies, we can be certain He will save us and deliver us from future wrath now that we are reconciled to Him through Christ's life and resurrection.

"It's all about "sinners and enemies and saving humanity" I see nothing about any elect there. You just have the need to add your calvannese to it.

No The passage is exclusively the elect, that is why Paul is using personal pronouns, us and we.

No Mercy is given to the elect it's not offered to anyone

The elect are the ones that used their free will to except what Jesus did on the cross for all mankind. John 3:16

Any and every man or woman who so desires is capable of responding to the Gospel, being forgiven of their sins, and being assured of eternal life.

Christ died for all, not a select few. God sent his Son to make salvation possible for all mankind
