So in your universe, "destruction" is heaven? Do a word study on the term "destruction" if you can find a concordance.

The elect! Who else. See Rom 8:29:30.

God might have whacked them hard upside the head. That could have been one way to intimidate them.

And your point is??? God clearly determined to save Eve in Gen 3:15, didn't he? And he determined to make Pharaoh a hardened reprobate, didn't He? And He was determined to not only prohibit Balaam from cursing Israel but "forced" him to bless His people, didn't He? Will you ever seek a cure...

For your info, it's called Divine Providence that has its source in the Divine Will.

Question: Just what "waters" would that be?

Again, read the Parable of the Great Banquet in Lk 14 and learn about the insufficiency of a mere outward call of the gospel. The gospel invitations reveal the disposition of God's heart and the commands in the bible reveal man's moral/spiritual responsibility to his Creator.

Translate: You don't have the first clue what the Corinthians received or from whom they received it.

Only to a twisted, perverse, depraved mind would such a mind even be able to postulate such buffoonery.

So what did the Corinthians receive and from whom? It seems to me there are far more than a few passages in the bible that expounds on all the various gifts God gives to his elect via his grace. Jn 3:16 for example.

Then if God is not looking to change our nature, what's the big deal about our glorification? Also, will the glorified saints in the eternal New Order have the ability to sin or not?

Yada, yada, yada. You insist on multiplying words without knowledge! Just answer this question: Will the glorified saints in the eternal New Order have the ability to sin? YES or NO!
