Josiah, take a deep breath. If I prove that YOUR position is false, the antithetical proposition (unlimited atonement) would by default be proven to be true! A law of logic known as the Excluded Middle applies here! There is no third option to the question to the atonement question unless you...

I seem to remember that one of your favorite "proof texts" for unlimited atonement (which, incidentally, I hold wholeheartedly to in the qualitative sense) :) is 1 Tim 2:6, right? I can't resist such low hanging fruit. ;) Question re 2:1 which reads: 1 Tim 2:1 First of all, then, I urge...

No, let's not and say we did. I don't play shotgun game whereby a person let's loose often with a barrage of verses, thinking that the sheer number of verses irrefutably proves his position because he's peppered the side of the barn so often with them. That's something a child might do but not...

Thanks for exegeting 1 Jn 2:2 with such passion. :rolleyes: You have so much zeal...sadly without knowledge (Rom 10:2). Maybe someone someday might teach you about the importance of paying attention to conjunctions, prepositions, etc. in a passage such as that little three-letter word BUT...

I read it and it was a very WEAK post. You're going to quibble about whether Jesus said "the sheep" or "my sheep"? But what about Jn 10:2 where Jesus said "his sheep:". And what about v. 4 when Jesus said "all his own". Or v. 3 when He said "his own sheep"? And just for the record, the...

Wow! Where in my 938 did I state anything about Jesus dying or who he died for? However, re 1Jn 2:2, since John very clearly made a distinction between the believing Jews to whom he was writing and the world (Gentiles) then the "whole world" in THAT passage cannot logically be understood in...

In which post did you respond? Number, please.

Soooo many times in John's writings he purposely uses the term "kosmos" in a limited sense. Let's look at Jn 7:7. But first, I should remind all that both Strong and Vine admitted to a moral/spiritual component to the term "kosmos". Again, here is what Vine said part e. of his definition...

Thanks but I'll pass on 428. Why don't you EXEGETE the two passages I posted last night that supports the Greek scholar Vine's part d. definition? You should be able to prove easily that the writers of these two texts didn't distinguish between Jews and Gentiles/world. Also, why don't tackle...

That's not what Jesus said in John 10. You've got it 180 degrees backwards. Anyone who believes does so BECAUSE they are Christ's sheep. And it's a pleasure to make the acquaintance of yet another UAB. :) Would you mind if I asked you a question? Here it is: Did Jesus die for people he never...

Only when scripture is understood in its three-fold context. Anyone can quote a series of single passages and claim that they support their presuppositions. Also, why do you think God has given his image-bearers a rationale mind to think? Even Paul understood that he was to use his God-given...

Evidently, you do not understand what I wrote in 923. I said that it is to be IMPLICITLY understood that since there are two distinct classes of scripture that speak to who God loves and others that speaks to who he hates, it's impossible that a thrice holy all-knowing God can contradict...

Part "d" of Vine's definition to the Gr. term "kosmos" while similar to what my understanding has been, since obviously Vine and I both understand there's an important qualitative component to this term, nevertheless bears an important difference. I've been thinking for quite a while that the...

Well then...act like an intelligent Christian adult and compose posts with actual substance to it. And quit lying about what I post. An honest poster would question me on something that they're unclear on instead of making pompous, unfounded, slanderous accusations that have no basis in fact...

Now, I want to change the pace a little because I have also been falsely accused, either explicitly or implicitly, that I just nilly willy decided to change the definitions of certain terms or phrases that seem teach "all" quantitatively by switching their meaning to a qualitative sense to suit...

You don't read my posts at all do you? I never even remotely hinted that God loves only those who FIRST love him. Why do you insist on slandering me constantly with your misrepresentations? Can you produce the post where I said such a thing or even implied it? (Rhetorical question.)...

Who is the "US " in Rom 8:39? Santa Claus, his reindeer and his elves? The devil and his seed? Or here's a really wild and crazy idea...Could the "us" (which of course would include Paul) be the people to whom Paul was writing? Did Paul write his epistle to the world: to believers and...

Hey, Josiah and Albion, what parts of Psalm 103 don't you get? By the way, when the psalmist said that God loves those who fear them -- he's talking about people existing in space and time whose life is characterized by such a godly disposition The passage says NOTHING about HOW those people...

Hey, you UABs, I'm hearing the crickets chirp re my post 886. Surely, I have not stumped the dynamic duo of Josiah and Albion, have I?

Of course, you wouldn't. See my 874.
