<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]Now the real kicker where you admit your sick cult when you say "God created some men for glory and some for damnation; both for HIS own glory". I think what is really sick about this claim is that you call preselecting men for damnation as "His own glory". Men going to hell is not glory,</font><hr></blockquote><p>I'm sorry you aren't familiar with the Bible more than you are. You should really try to read it more often and perhaps God will open your mind and heart to receive it unto salvation.<blockquote>Romans 9:13-24 (ASV) "Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth. So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will be hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will? <span style="background-color:yellow;">Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God?</span> Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus? [color:red]Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?</font color=red> What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction: and [color:blue]that he might make known the riches of his glory</font color=blue> upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory, [even] us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?</blockquote>I know, I know..... the truth hurts, doesn't it.
