    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    This basically wraps it up for me :) Thanks for all the help here, you and Lammy make perfect sense, it's like I get it but I bounce back and forth with Calvinism, like Jesus only died for those that God randomly picked out of a world of sinners to give life to and other sinners just stay dead...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Desire and want mean the same thing God wants all to be saved Sounds like if he desires it but refuses it then his desire is a temptation that he must resist, maybe this is why salvation is not for everyone and the atonement is limited.. You know I struggle with being partially calvinists but...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    If the monkey is Jesus and the baby is the sinner and the opportunity for a chance of salvation is grace and the decision to jump on is faith and the holding on is the picking up of my cross then I agree with the monkey version

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Which is it? God wills that all be saved and the atonement was for the sins of the world (man has no free will) Or God wills that only a certain chosen number of people be saved and the atonement for only the sins of those whom he made 'believe' and the rest of the world has no chance because...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Faith is given to those who hear and hearing from the word of God. We accept what God has given us, "accept" as in we are pleased with Gods grace that he has given, we accept it. Believers cannot reject the grace, yes mankind chooses darkness over light, but the calling to repent from the...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    A shorter version We have free will to either accept the gift from God or reject it, we have knowledge of good and evil (which is why we are fallen, you cant serve two masters) but wisdom comes from God and faith from hearing the Word of God

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Well, Jesus had the will of God yes and God can not sin thus Jesus cannot sin and by human standards our nature/will is to sin so.. I get what you mean though, the cup that Jesus wanted to have taken from him was something he could never possibly act on being God incarnate even though he was...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I was originally going to same "some", my point is that Gods preferences is that all be saved, Jesus did His Fathers will, but man is given free will, everyone in the Bible had free will except for Jesus and he could not force others to do what God wills. God willed that Adam not take the...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    @atpollard Is it God wills that all be saved or God wills that many be saved?

    Do you adhere to the Nicene Creed JRT?

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Harmonize There are several classes of groups in Revelation, Meek, Sinners, Elect, tribulation saints, final converts and of course God has mercy on whom God has mercy on. Jesus called the blasphemers and the corrupted priests goats because he knew their hearts and their thoughts he knew they...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, disbelief can be forgiven upon repentance, if not then they are left at the mercy seat of God where all unbelievers will be judged according to their works, this is at the 2nd resurrection, and those who are not found in the book of life are cast into the lake...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Dying with the sole purpose of cancelling the wages of sin in which we were indebted to unto death?

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    "Our sins" as in yours and mine and John Q. Public's, all the sins of the world (save the unforgivable sin)

    Social media behavior

    Complaining, memes, politics, fake articles/photos, copy and paste this, too many selfies, domestic drama, weirdo stalker types, "I got the vaccination"

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Like when someone offers you something, at first you look at it to see if what they are offering is something to be desired, and if you decide you want to receive it then it's given to you, but without it ever being offered you would never see nor seek for it... that's how I view what some...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    So you are basically expressing disdain for all of the theological advances and/or drawbacks that have ensued over millennia as if this is normal Christian behavior and tradition. It kind of is tho, even the disciples argued over who was the greatest, not saying it's a good thing, it's actually...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I agree that Faith is God given, man cannot design faith or create faith or track down and discover faith, faith comes only from God. God offers Salvation for all but I don't believe that God offers rejection of Salvation in his other hand.. He allows for rejection but not without a...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Yes, the rejectors will be divided from the believers AND Jesus knew their thoughts (those he called goats) so He had that ability (being the Spirit of prophecy), HOWEVER when Jesus was on the cross he said "Father forgive them for they don't know what they are doing" speaking for all those who...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I recently got SXM radio and was listening to Family Talk (a Christian station). I used to understand Calvanism as sound theology but never considered myself one, but this host had me thinking. He mentioned Calvinist and refuted the claim that Jesus only died for the sins of the elect. Jesus in...
