    Daily defense of the divinity of Jesus Christ!

    Many bible translations into English say Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ: to them that have obtained equal faith with us in the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:1 DRB Which is the correct way to translate the Greek (in the above version it is English...

    Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other

    There's a calling in the prophets, in Isaiah specifically, that says: Thus says the Lord: The labour of Egypt, and the business dealings of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, will pass to you and will be yours. They will walk behind you. They will travel, bound in irons. And they will...

    Works suited to your calling.

    Called to be disciples there are works that each ought to do, according to his or her gifts. I think every Christian knows this and will gladly acknowledge it. So, I have some songs that reflect that.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Looks like you do not have any single name to give. Just a generality based on what exactly?

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    This morning I was thinking about how you read John 10:26, and it occurred to me that in your way of reading, sheep are eternally sheep. You see the passage as saying "your don't believe because you are not my sheep, never have been my sheep, and never will be my sheep". Yet the sheep and...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 For the whole world before thee is as a little grain of the balance, yea, as a drop of the morning dew that falleth down upon the earth. But...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I am familiar with the passages, they are read for their lessons in the Catholic Church more than for doctrinal proofs. But I do understand why you say what you do. I do not share your perspective.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    The Lord is speaking about himself as the good shepherd; the sheep and sheepfold are incidental to his teaching about himself as the door/gate and the proper entry into the sheepfold. It is a mistake to concentrate too much on sheep and non-sheep when the topic is the shepherd and his role.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    It's not spelled out, so, it is a mystery. Something that God will spell out in his own good time.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    They didn't believe so they are condemned, as Jesus says. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I see we have an interpretational difference. To read the passage the way your stated theology teaches would need it to say, Ye are not my sheep, that is why ye believe not instead it says, But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I...

    Acts 2:38-39

    "For the promise - That is, the promise respecting the particular thing of which he was speaking - the influences of the Holy Spirit. This promise he had adduced in the beginning of his discourse Act 2:17, and he now applies it to them. As the Spirit was promised to descend on Jews and their...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    John 10:26 implies that it was because of their unbelief that the people included in "ye" are not Christ's sheep, I think. That would not be consistent with Limited Atonement as far as I can tell. Is that not true?

    Which parts of John 10 do you have in mind. I am interested. I haven't read all the posts in this thread so I am asking for a shortcut I guess.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I've never really understood the necessity to define what happens first in the salvation of human beings when the holy scriptures never say First God elects you next God gives you faith then you're saved! Of course God initiates everything, so to speak, because he created everything. For, like a...
