Can you help me with the idea of "predestination" after listening to Voddie Baucham and John MacArthur? Rec: topical lectures, "God's Sovereignty and Man's Salvation." [Ephesians 1:5, Romans 8:29-30, 2 Corinthians 3:18, 2 Peter 3:9, Titus 2:11].
How can I grieve "in hope," if the loved ones I have lost were not Christians? [1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Ezekiel 33:11, Hebrews 9:27, 2 Peter 3:9, Titus 2:11, 1 Corinthians 4:5, Romans 2:6, John 3:16].
How does "works" and "obedience" relate to "grace?" How would this apply to the thief on the cross? [Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 2:11-12, Luke 18:10-14, 1 Timothy 6:3-4, Matthew 7:21-23].
What do you think when it is said that the hard sayings of Jesus are primarily to show us how impossible it is to do well under the law? [Matthew 28:18-20, Matthew 7:24, I Timothy 6:3, Titus 2:11].
How can we judge and assess the differences between obedience, legalism and grace? [2 John 9, 2 Corinthians 3:17, John 1:14-16, 2 Peters 1:4, Titus 2:11-12, Matthew 7:24-27, I John 2:4, 2 Corinthians 10:5, Acts 5:32, I John 2:4, Hebrews 5:9].
Was there something specific being distorted in 2 Peter, and also applied to today's distortions? [2 Peter 3:15, Romans 6:15, Titus 2:11-12, Jude 1:4].
