Bill, one sin or ten sins is irrelevant. Christ must ransom all sin. If Jesus died for all sins and effectually paid for them all and forgave them all, then all person's are redeemed in full. They are all found in Christ. There is no "Christ died for all, but only some are saved."

If Jesus paid for all sins and forgave all humanity from the cross, then all humanity will be with Jesus in heaven. That is the conclusion to the person who demands a universal "all." Now, I will wait for the response of..."but humans reject this forgiveness, which is why they go to hell." Of...

Josiah, please, just once quote an entire passage so you see that context does not confirm your assertion. This would help you and others. Your assertions of what I present in scripture as being a rejection of faith and the solas is laughable and false. You have an amazing crutch of sola...

If Jesus died for all humanity, then all humanity is found in Christ and all are made holy. You must, therefore be a radical universalist. This is your crutch. You still avoid Jesus own words. Why do you avoid Jesus, Josiah? This is your crutch. You demand that God speak your phrases, while...

He didn't. Calvin never added or removed words. Nor did he rearrange them. Where did you read that, or is this the prejudism you have been given that is based in a lie? Calvin merely observed the Bible, just like you and I observe the Bible. Calvin wasn't the first one to observe God's...

Josiah, "for only a few" is your words...and your excuse. Read John 10. Jesus certainly limits for whom he died. That is obvious. What is also obvious is that God the Father gives the elect to Jesus. Nowhere does Jesus say "for only a few." Also, nowhere does Jesus say "for all humanity." We...

It's sad that you think it's about John Calvin when it's actually about God's word.

You can suggest that, but you would be ignoring the fact that Pelagian theology has been historically designated as a heresy while the doctrine of God's Sovereign Rule and Right to choice flows throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

This would be true, if God chose not to be gracious. In this area, we must rest in God's Sovereign choice to extend grace. We have David's response to the death of his infant son as a reason to believe that God chooses to extend grace to infants just as he extends grace to others. 2 Samuel...

Do you realize you are promoting part of Pelagian theology, which was condemned as heresy? 1) Adam was created mortal, and would have died, even if he had not sinned. 2) Adam’s fall injured himself alone, not the human race. 3) Children come into the world in the same condition in which Adam...

Here are Jesus words. Tell me if Jesus died for all. John 10:14-18,25-30 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also...

Yes, all person's are born under the curse of sin and are corrupt in sin by nature. You have to read all of Ezekiel 18 to understand verse 20. But, I will only quote the first verses as they ultimately explain why verse 20 is written. Ezekiel 18:2-4,20 (vs2)“What do you mean by repeating...

All the verses speaking for whom Christ died are for ALL the chosen people. You know this to be true because the Bible speaks of the chosen ones from Genesis to Revelation and Jesus confirms this in John 6, John 10 and John 17. Now, make the "all" universal and you must either concede that all...

Only if a member of a denomination supported their denominational tradition over God's word. On multiple issues, Josiah has held the denominational tradition over and above what the Bible expresses. For example, Josiah holds to salvation by infant baptism as a means of God extending grace. This...

The topic is just you spewing your opinion from your sola lutherana point of view.

Josiah, when push comes to shove, you practice sola lutherana, not sola scriptura. The rule of scripture gets a backseat to the rule of tradition and concord. But, thanks for posting this long article that no one has posted on until now.

False. The only reason you avoid context is because you know you have no argument.

Josiah, you quote one verse or sentence and the say "thus saith the Lord" but you never, ever explain the verse in context. You just leave the verse dangling and think you have done your job. Now, since loss of faith by human works is a Lutheran teaching, please explain those verses you quoted...

Context is very important. Prooftexting your presupposition is just poor hermaneutics.

You are avoiding the Lutheran teaching that says a saved person can damn himself from the gift of faith God gave him. It is incumbent upon Lutheran's to prove that assertion via scripture. Will you actually discuss the matter or just make unsubstantiated blanket statements like your post above?
