If I prove from scripture that Jesus isn't God because scripture doesn't reveal that, then I have falsified the antithesis, which would be that Jesus is God. It matters not a whit what else Jesus may be since the only object to the investigation was to prove that he isn't one particular entity...

Two things: Can you find any prayer in scripture that closely resembles this "universal" prayer for all? Secondly, it's a nice sounding, touchy feely, warm 'n' fuzzy prayer that doesn't say very much, for God's "goodness" has always been upon His creation (Mat 5:45). This particular...

Thanks for tacitly admitting that you really don't want to understand what any one particular passage is teaching, even though you use it as a proof text. (n) P.S. Christ died for all the Father has given to Him in eternity. (Oh yeah...that would include the OT saints, as well.) And just who...

In other words, you have NO answers to legitimate theological questions to support your limited atonement falsehood. Your insipid theory cannot withstand the rigors of sound exegetical or close theological scrutiny. This, sir, proves the intellectual bankruptcy to your position and, even more...

Really? Run those examples buy us. You're going to have us believe that people actually pray for each and every person in the world according to each their needs? All of us, without exception, pray for specific people by name for their specific needs. We also pray for people we minister to...

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...
