Christ's Predestination

  Christ's Predestination   Why did God foreordained Christ before the foundation of the world? In response to this question, the theory of predestination in theology implies two predestinations.   First, God created the world, created the Garden of Eden, and placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. They sinned against God (original sin) by eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which is God's forbidden command. However, God knew this was going to happen before the foundation of the world, so He foreordained Christ to save sinners. Second, God pre-selected to save the saints before the foundation of the world. It is said that salvation is achieved not by human works, but by God's selection of human beings who are unable to save themselves, emphasizing God's mercy and sovereignty over salvation. Predestination is that by grace God has chosen some for eternal salvation, while others have been left to eternal judgment for their sins. ...

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved

http://m.cafe.daum.net/oldnewman135/ri3R?boardType=   『 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 』 (Acts 2:21) To call on the name of the Lord, we must know the name of the Lord. The Hebrews recorded God as El in the Bible. The word God is a proper noun. But God also has a name. In the Old Testament, when the Hebrews expressed God's name in writing, they left it blank, and when they read the name, they muttered, "Yord Bab He Bab." Later, they did not use this name. God gave Moses his own name and said, "I am who am." (Missora Bible) The Hebrews called this name Adonai. But it was still blank in the Old Testament. The Egyptian Pharaoh (Philadelphus: Ptolemy II) drew 72 men from Israel and translated the Bible into Greek for 72 days in Alexandria. They wrote the name of God in the blank as YHWH and called it Kurius. In Latin, it is called Dominus.   Then the diaspora, who lived in Alexandria, swit...

Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee.

  Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee.   http://m.cafe.daum.net/oldnewman135/ri3R?boardType=   (Matthew 26: 35) Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. Today, the faith of many people is same what Peter said, "Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. Peter confessed, "You are the Christ and the Son of God." But Jesus said, "You will deny me." The faith you believe will depend on whether it comes from the body or the spirit. In Romans and Galatians, "He who follows the flesh must die." He says, "Only those who follow the Holy Spirit are saved." Jesus prayed to God to be one. The disciples are abandoning Jesus and being scattered, and Jesus is praying for God to “ make one ” for them. Peter learned the words of the Sermon on the Mount, and he saw miracles for three years, but he w...

Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand

  Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand http://m.cafe.daum.net/oldnewman135/ri3R?boardType=   Matthew 3:1-4 『 Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 』 『 Prepare ye the way of the Lord 』 . What does this mean? The one who was born as a human spirit of Elijah was John the Baptist. So, that's what John the Baptist does. In Luke 1:17, “ And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. ” Here, the Father is God. Child means Israel. He is the one against whom Israel opposes. So, in order for those who have left God to return to God, the people (John the Baptist) are being prepared for the Lord. John the Baptist came and called the people of Israel to repent. He said to bring forth the fruit worthy of repentance. The saying that the law and the prophets were until the time of John applies here. Th...
