I want to post this for those of you on both side of loving the LORD God, and the Lord Jesus Christ. Gods word taught properly can not be learned in one or two verses. There are a couple of things that need to be said, and that needs to be understood. First off, there were people that were chosen before the foundations of the world. They are called Gods elect. Not because they are any better than the next person, but because when we were in the beginning of our creation, they earned the right to be chosen. They earned that right by standing up to Satan in the first earth age at the overthrow. God is using those people because they earned that right. An example of that can be found when you read about Saul, whos name was changed to Paul. If a person doesnt have the same level of love for our Father and our Lord, let not this cause you to shorten your display of your love for Them. Your hard work and dedication is greatly appreciated. The truth of the matter is, if you could write all the things that needs to be said about the Lord in one sitting, there wouldnt be enough time in that day to do it. We have a will, but if you were chosen by God to do a mission, this mission is going to be done. (Acts 9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. 3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do ? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. 8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. 9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. 10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. 11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold , he prayeth, 12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. 13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: 14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. 15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:) Paul was chosen by God, and earned the right to teach on three levels. Some of you were also justified, or judged, in the first earth age, just like Paul, to carry Gods word forward. God does uses His elect to do this. And if you are one of Gods elect, just like a father with his own child, God will break out the paddle if necessary. (Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called : and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?)
