What does an unregenerate heart lack that keeps a person from coming to faith?

[John Bauer]

Adam's lone law of God was written for everyone who lives, atheist and all.

Huh? What is this lone law of God?

 

[Ladodgers6]

But his people did not receive him..

The elect will.

faith is a gift from God.

Exactly, God provides everything we need. He is the One who resurrects the dead.

 

[Eternally-Grateful]

The elect will.

His people were an elect people chosen by God for a purpose.

Gods will will be done even with them

Exactly, God provides everything we need. He is the One who resurrects the dead.

Yes. It is all of him. Praise God

Yes...

How are you determining who a Verse is Written to? The Ten Commandments are Written to Some, and to All; on every heart...

Scripture. Scripture is how I determine to whom a verse was written.

But a great deal of attention is necessary to what just happened because Post #135 because it changes what I posted. I said "about," not "to."

!!!ABOUT!!!​

Pay attention! Changing the "about" to a "to" is also what @Dave did in an earlier thread and the bait and switch was corrected but the "about" still went ignored. That is the reason the word about is italicized and underlined. The emphasis is deliberate so the word will be noted and not confused with any other owrd.

The book of Romans was written to "to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints." That is what the letter explicitly states. There is no reason to speculate. No inferences are needed. The first letter to Corinth was written to, "To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours." This is explicitly stated in the second verse of the letter. The letter to the church in Galatia was written to, "To the churches of Galatia: "Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever."

Paul explicitly identifies those to whom he is writing. All the epistolary authors did. I Paul's case it is not difficult to identify the intended audience because he is overtly explicit about it at the introduction.


Most passages in the Bible have some form of audience identifier. One of the many mistakes @Dave has made in ALL his recent threads is fail to correctly identify the audience. The result is eisegetic, not exegetic. In one post I went through an entire chapter from which two or three verses had been selected, selectively removing them from their explicitly stated context and I should how and where Paul identified about whom he was writing.

Totally ignored. The crickets went to sleep.

Are you saying the Bible is written for unbelievers?

Don't permit the switch. The word "about" is not the word "to."

Sorry Brother, I'm confused; probably Mt fault. I'll have to read it again and listen to your further discussion with @Dave . I don't understand why the 'about' matters; they sound the same to me...

I answered 'Yes'. I asked a new question...
