Where you also fell down badly. Yet since you will not be humbled, you still
refuse to recognize it there, too.

No, that is NOT the point of Rom 8:29. That is your Reform Eisegesis.

More Reform Eisegesis.

And yet more!

Which you insisteof interpretting while wearing blinders on, so that you can
refuse to see the context. That is a quote from a _Psalm_ where the Psalmist was
talking about his _enemies_ NOT about all mankind.
>Election is based upon the mystery of God's foreknowing those whom He

And here again, you rely on Reform eisegesis. For you refuse to recognize that
God is free to will to call to salvation those whom He foreknows to be willing
to respond to the call.
> This necessarily involves relationship
>even though we did not participate in it prior to our calling.
But this is actually beside the point. You made a false touchy-feely claim, and
you have yet to confess your error. So it is you who will be humbled later,
since you refuse to act like one of the regenerate and accept the humbling now
in this life.
