My parents have been friends with Lebanese people for about 35 years. Awesome people and the music and food is good as well.
Knowing what you know about them through personal experience, how do you feel about the very real probability that they are descended from the Canaanites?
Originally posted by @suzianneThat would be interesting. My dad is into all that ancestry and telomeres. So I will see if he will ever talk to them about it.

O.S.A.S. is true. Judas was never elected by God.
Matthew 15:21-28
The Faith of a Canaanite Woman
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
23 Jesus did not an ...[text shortened]... man, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
... rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. (Luke 10:20 KJV)
To prove that the names of all Christians are written in heaven?
The truth is that there are many who are eternally saved.
Not all who profess to be Christian fall into this group.
-Removed-Who named it that?
We know she's a mother, we don't necessarily know that she is a wife. Her husband is never mentioned, and yet, someone along the line had to go and make sure a man was mentioned in a story that has nothing to do with a man. Like it or not, a mother is a higher calling than a wife. Anyone can be a wife, not everyone can be a mother. The story is about a mother getting help for her daughter; if she is a wife, it's a secondary consideration at best.
Here's a reality check. If the person had been a father getting help for his child, would the story be called the Husband of Noble Character?

Clue Just for You: And since he's a Calvinist, I'm pretty sure he understands that just "saying" you're predestined for salvation doesn't necessarily make it so. You, on the other hand, seem to think this is some kind of new revelation for everyone except you.
Originally posted by @suzianneI speak from the Bible. So I dont know what Calvinist is .. neither do I care to know your American jargon or religious studies terminology .. not interested.

Now you have to be the most dense person on this forum if you dont know that in the sonship type version of OSAS, nobody is lost, and all eventually get eternal life, as not even God can destroy evil Christians.
Originally posted by @rajk999Oh, Lord, can anyone now see what I am up against here? Someone please tell this person that Calvinism is not "American jargon". I find it troubling that not only doesn't he know what it is, he's not even interested in knowing what it is. It's like not knowing who Martin Luther was, or not knowing who John Wesley was, or not knowing the difference between their doctrines.

And not only that, but John Calvin was FRENCH, you jackass! And you call ME "dense".
Sorry, but I have a real problem with people who don't know what they're talking about, yet still go on and on and on and on, just because they love to argue and put down others who happen to have a different opinion and for no reason other than their own ego fulfillment. And that's not exactly following Jesus.
