Luther destroyed Pelagianism. As a Lutheran, you should know this. Shouldn't you? I teach only what Luther taught in the Bondage of the Will.

Jesus is God, he cannot be wrong. I'm no longer interested in your comments. See ya!

First, what false claims do I make according to your flaming me?

Were the Reformers wrong?

Have you ever read Bondage of the will?

“And he [Jesus] said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil...

= you save yourself............

It's basically what Luther taught in his "Bondage of the Will". And what all the reformers believed and taught. What is the history of your beliefs?

But babies die in the womb, never having sinned. Because they are a sinful species. The wages of sin are death and all ills related to it.

Let's pinpoint the problem with universal atonement. First, it saves no one, this is identical to Pelagianism. Secondly, you must respond in obedience to save yourself. This is also one with Pelagianism. And it spells salvation by works, just as Pelagianism does.

“I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.” John 17:9 (KJV 1900) Why would Jesus pray for the elect and not the world?

The world IS Not People, it's the Kosmos = the created order.

This is not what scripture teaches. How about where He says "all that the Father gives to me, will come to me". Did he die for those whom God damned?

Jesus says people love darkness rather than light. How will they come to him if he doesn't save them first?

But you are forcing a false definition onto the term world. It means kosmos which includes the New Heaven and Earth where Jesus died for all. Not until then has he died for all.

So the tree comes after the apple?

God hates sinners. That's why he glorifies himself by sending them to hell's justice.

Yes, as a fruit of the Holy Spirit = saved. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,” Galatians 5:22 (KJV 1900) “And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.” 2 Thessalonians 3:2 (KJV 1900)

Faith is a fruit of the Holy Spirit you must have before you can have faith. So God saved you when you were lost and could not find your way. Why would he waste Christ's blood on those who reject him?

So why doesn't he do this for everyone?
