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

    Just because he is listed first doesn't mean that he became the leader of the early church. Where do you find that specific information? You realize, don't you, that right after he confessed Jesus to be the Messiah, he condemned Jesus' plans to go to the cross and that Jesus said that Peter was...

    What do we tell unsaved about biblical election?

    So, you don't think that God inspired Paul to write Ephesians 1:3-14, Broadway, because Paul clearly disagrees with your idea?

    What do we tell unsaved about biblical election?

    When God created Adam and Eve, they instituted rebellion against him, a kind of a coup. We all participated in that rebellion too, because Adam passed it on to us as our head, as Paul has said. God could have sent all humans to hell. But his love for the world, humans, was so great that he calls...

    Free from the Law, oh blessed condition! I can sin as I please and still have remission.

    The main audience of the Book of Hebrews is Jewish Christians, not unbelieving Jews.

    Free from the Law, oh blessed condition! I can sin as I please and still have remission.

    We are all accountable to God for our rebellion against him. All have witnessed his creative power in his creation around us, including Abraham. You are reading into Scripture, though, what isn't there. For example, you say, "God couldn't indict Abraham for his sins." Paul says in Romans 2 that...

    Limited Revealation

    Did you misspell the word "revelation" in the title to this thread on purpose? I'm just curious.

    Limited Revealation

    Lees, I believe that the reference in Genesis 6:1-2 is to the two lines from Adam, believing through Seth and unbelieving through Cain (given the two genealogies in chapters 3 and 5) mixing together, and evil wins temporarily until the Flood. The seeds of Cain and Seth were both the product of...

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

    Where in Scripture do you find the idea that Peter was the leader of the whole church at that time? Or are you reading into the New Testament the Catholics' separate tradition apart from the Bible, with which I disagree?

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    What question did you ask? I'm working on several posts.

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Your first paragraph looks at God from a human viewpoint, not God's in the Bible. As the Creator of all humans, he has the right to do whatever he wants to. As I explained in a previous post, he must have a very good reason for not saving everyone, but as you say, it's a mystery because he...

    Universal Atonement - Part 2

    In evangelism, we Calvinists don't tell anyone whether or not they're the elect, because we can't read God's mind and we don't know who the elect are. We can have assurance for ourselves from the evidence of his grace working in our lives, but never definite knowledge about anyone, even...

    The creation of Adam and Eve

    Where did you get that idea? Neither Genesis 1 nor 2 says anything like what you're saying. Is this your reasoning or the Bible we're discussing?

    Limited Revealation

    Jesus welcomed and blessed little children and babies, but it doesn't mean that they are innocent. He blessed adults with healing and his teachings the same way. It was his grace and love for sinners that distinguished him from the religious leaders. What do you say about Psalm 51, where David...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Those who are perishing have been born to think that they are center of the universe instead of the 3-in-1 God of the Bible. If they persist their whole lives in that rebellious deception, they will, sadly, be without God's powerful presence and won't have any of their false gods that they...

    Paul Chief of Sinners

    It's the "already" and "not yet" of the gospel that we are perfect in principle before our Judge, God the Father, but we are still imperfect in practice as we struggle against sin before God as our Father.

    Free from the Law, oh blessed condition! I can sin as I please and still have remission.

    That's a very good rule, Lamb. We always need to respect and love each other. I've found that teaching somewhere in God's Word. :D

    Universal Atonement - Part 2

    The elect are the believers whom God chose. I don't know for sure who they are, because I can't see their hearts. Only God knows for sure. The "our" in the disciples, who asked him to teach them to pray. Of course, we know who would betray him. Not everyone who prays that prayer is a true...

    Universal Atonement - Part 2

    Faith his God's gift of his grace. Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, Eph 2:9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

    Paul Chief of Sinners

    And that life from God battles against sin, Satan, and the tempting world every day so that we can have powerful testimonies of Jesus' continuing victories to share with the people around us.
