    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I disagree with what's said in the above post. If you want to know why, read my previous posts which deal with "universal atonement"

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    These posts provide evidence that their author is not dealing with Pelagianism, has not dealt with Catholic teaching, and does not define or deal with "universal atonement".

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Try a more precise definition, such as this: Unlimited atonement (sometimes called general atonement or universal atonement) is a doctrine in Protestant Christianity that is normally associated with Amyraldism (four-point Calvinism), as well as Arminianism and other non-Calvinist traditions. The...

    You didn't respond to the argument. I think you do not understand it.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Sharpen up your game and then come back with a coherent argument. For now all you're offering is meaningless commentary that has little or nothing to do with Catholic teaching or my stated views.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Here is a functional definition of pelagianism: Pelagianism is a Christian theological position that holds that the original sin did not taint human nature and that humans by divine grace have free will to achieve human perfection. Pelagius (c. 355 – c. 420 AD), an ascetic and philosopher from...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I do not think you know what Pelagianism really is.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    You replied to a post that included this content. I want to know if you understood the argument and why you did not respond to it. Being a Catholic I know that Godel's theorem regarding incompleteness in the created universe of Mathematics has an analogy in the creation of which we are a part...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    You missed an addendum that I added in an edit of my post. I include it here so you can see it.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Yes, it does. I hope it has a positive influence and leads to a positive outcome - to be specific, I hope it opens eyes to understand that Calvinism's hermeneutic is not the only way to read a bible. As an addendum I want to state a couple of things: The Catholic Church does not and never has...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    And I see why you want to argue. I shall not blame heretics for your choice, it is your own choice to argue this way. You have decided to demand that "world" mean exactly what your stated theology requires it to mean. I will not argue the semantics of Calvinism, from my perspective Calvinism is...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I do not argue for "universal atonement", that is, from my perspective, a Protestant category. My argument is that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. I am content to let there be mystery in the words that God revealed by John the Baptist. I am a Catholic and do not...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    The above quote is also "circular reasoning" and "begging the question" because the "us" that is mentioned need not be taken as exhaustive of all who are to be saved; specifically, Hebrews' author intends by "us" those to whom he wrote, namely, Christians who knew something about Hebrew...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I disagreed with your post because it treats "sin of the world" as if it said, "sin of the elect". And since that is the matter we're disputing your post is both "begging the question" and "circular reasoning".

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Not a word in any of the passages you've quoted says that Christ died "for the elect alone". Not one passage teaches that Christ's intention was to take away only the sins of the elect. And there's a world of difference between "Behold the Lamb of God, behold he who takes away the sin of the...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    Oh, that's okay - I never take the 1689 Baptist confession too seriously either.
  17. MoreCoffee

    The Word Trinity not in scripture? I believe it is.

    It is true that the New Testament is written in Greek and that many of its quotes from the Old Testament are from the LXX.

    Why Universal Atonement is Pelagianism.

    I've heard those theories stated before. I do not think scripture says those things. I can't find a verse for "died for the elect alone", nor one that says, "there's no such things as free will", and I suspect that every Christian holds that God saves his people from their sins and doesn't...

    Divorce and Remarriage

    One thing at a time; sufficient unto the thread are the theological debates of its Original Post :)

    Divorce and Remarriage

    That is the teaching of Christ; to divorce and remarry while one's "former partner" is still living is adultery. That is the teaching of the Catholic Church.
