    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    You're right, brightfame52. The amazing thing to me is that he has begun his work in me to give me progress in changing my evil nature into one like him! That process started when I was 16 and is still going on at my age of 82!

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Yeah, but I can't understand why he chose some and not many people, but I lay it at his feet, because he hasn't revealed the reason. I'm not better than anyone else.

    A deeply troubling and awful thing.

    Fuddy, I too have many questions that the Bible doesn't answer, but God wants to humble us to recognize that he's God, and we're not. We can't figure out a lot about God with our puny, human minds. God's gift of humility. for which we need to pray, gives us the ability to submit to the fact that...

    A deeply troubling and awful thing.

    I agree, Lamb, because the first one to believe in our family was my mom. We three boys and Dad were unbelievers until God rescued me at 16, my brothers when they were about 32, and my dad when he was 77 years old!

    Mark 13:10

    Here is some information for your Bible study about Luke from the Bible: Col_4:14 Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas. 2Ti_4:11 Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry. Phm_1:24 and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and...

    What do we tell unsaved about biblical election?

    No, it's just that we don't have to tell unsaved people the deeper doctrines while we are calling them to believe in the basic truths dealing directly with their need to accept Jesus' offer of his rescue from their imperfections because of his love for them. I said, "that truth," that is, election.

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Yes, the northern kingdom of Israel had "committed adultery" against God by chasing after other gods. Hosea had to picture that situation by marrying a prostitute, who would chase after other men in her sinful rebellion. So, the backsliding is apostasy from God's covenant with them, not from...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    No, Christ's saving death saves everyone the Father wants to save. Why he doesn't save everyone is a mystery because he hasn't revealed it. It must be a very good reason, but I assume we will know it when Jesus comes again. Sin and Satan never control God; the perfect example is Job 1 and 2...

    Very true, messy! I categorize unresolved concurrences as mysteries we must accept because it is God's inspired Word. The Trinity, Jesus' divine and human natures, and his providential plans with humans' full responsibility for their lives come to mind as mysterious truths of God's Word that are...

    Isn't it time for you all to repent of schism?

    No, it's not time until the Roman Catholic Church repents of adding an extra-biblical, authoritative tradition in addition to the Bible.

    What do we tell unsaved about biblical election?

    Why would you ever tell an unsaved person about that truth, with which I agree, by the way. If it doesn't come up, which it won't in our western culture, we need to put that true doctrine into our churches' educational programs for when they are growing believers.

    Mark 13:10

    Where in the world did you get these unbiblical assumptions about the Bible? First, the Bible doesn't ever say that Nicodemus was more than a silent follower of Jesus until he helped Joseph bury Jesus. He wasn't part of the lists of the twelve disciples Jesus chose and certainly did not write...

    Isn't it time for you all to repent of schism?

    However, the phrase "this rock" may also refer to his profession of faith, not directly to Peter, because all true Christian churches profess to believe in the essential beliefs of the Trinity, Jesus' divine and human natures, the inspiration of the Bible, God as Creator of the universe, and...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    After many years of study of the Bible and thought about the subject, I've come to the conclusion that the unforgivable sin is a whole lifetime of active or passive, self-centered rebellion against God. At some point (only God knows when), he lets them have their way and passes his just judgment...

    Daniel Seventy Sevens

    I agree. Where does it describe the rapture and the millennium? I don't see it either.

    Paul Chief of Sinners

    Being a sinner as a true believer doesn't mean that sin and Satan dominate us, it means that we struggle every day against the sin-nature within us and with the presence of the Holy Spirit through Jesus' victory, we find progress, completely to God's credit.

    I think it's pretty clever. Thanks for you explanation.

    What do we tell unsaved about biblical election?

    Abraham Kuiper lived in a very different time when religious controversies were public discussions in Holland that people were aware of. Now, in secular cultures, the subject would never come up. So, we should concentrate on our own witnessing and sharing of our beliefs with an emphasis on God's...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Because Jesus loved the whole world, as stated in John 3:16 and because he has a general love for all the people he created as the Father's Agent with the Spirit's infinite power, in that sense he died for the whole world, including the perishing who refuse to acknowledge their Creator. However...

    Isn't it time for you all to repent of schism?

    Jesus was using Peter as an illustration of a rock by pointing at his confession of faith, not as a single ruler of the church.
