    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    The words of the wise are like a goad, and like nails deeply fastened, which, through the counsel of teachers, are set forth by one pastor. You should require no more than this, my son. For there is no end to the making of many books. And excessive study is an affliction to the flesh...

    I shall leave fanciful flights of pseudo-history for you to expound. I prefer the ineffable plan.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I leave it to you to teach on that matter, one who has not experienced it is better not to expound on it in the presence of an expert.

    God says ... And this is the Promise, which he himself has promised to us: Eternal Life. I have written these things to you, because of those who would seduce you. But as for you, let the Anointing that you have received from him abide in you. And so, you have no need of anyone to teach you...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Here is a comment from a Catholic priest of the 19th century. His stated view, and the views from other authors who he quotes, differs a little from what I have written. But it is good to see what views are present and why they are present. As many as were pre-ordained to eternal...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Your observation is correct, or at the very least is one possible perspective that can be justified from the text in Greek. audientes autem gentes gavisae sunt et glorificabant verbum Domini et crediderunt quotquot erant praeordinati ad vitam aeternam. English translation from the Vulgate...

"Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way...

    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    Catholic priest, Fr Haydock, concerning Hebrews 11:1, writes: All this chapter is a commendation and recommendation of faith, which is the substance [Substantia, Greek: upostasis, subsistentia.] of things hoped for, giving as it were a substance in our minds to such things as we are in hopes and...

    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    For that one is duly thankful. May God be praised that pope Francis hasn't spent his time replying to posts in this forum. It would be nice if your post responded to the comments offered by Albert Barnes. Perhaps you'll wriite one that does?
