    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    What I know is this: I know how to read Matthew 5 to 7. I do not need a theory of its application to born-agains alone. It is a "sermon" spoken before crowds of people.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I have to conclude that there's is something amiss when you claim that 605 says "universal atonement" when it does not. Or else I must conclude that you do not understand the posts I have written which have repeatedly said that Catholic Church teaching does not use Protestant vocabulary phrases...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    You claim "he is speaking to saved people" the passage is from "the sermon on the mount" which starts with "Then, seeing the crowds, he ascended the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples drew near to him," Matthew 5:1, which leaves one thinking that he is addressing disciples who...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Matthew 7:12-14 is scripture; if it vexes and upsets the theology your posts are presenting then that is a problem for your presentation to deal with.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    What do you think 605 says? CCC 605 At the end of the parable of the lost sheep Jesus recalled that God's love excludes no one: "So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish." He affirms that he came "to give his life as a ransom for many"...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    The scriptures give an answer for that. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    The above claim looks like nonsense. The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him; and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God. Behold him who taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29 There is nothing in the passage to suggest that "world" means "elect". The world clearly has sin because the world is...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    As much as I like to approve your comments, I cannot agree with them because they are fundamentally flawed. "Universal atonement" is a Protestant category, it is not Catholic teaching. Catholic teaching is couched in biblical language for very good reasons. Catholic teaching is that Christ is...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Your posts, sir, misrepresent what my posts contain. I do not see any good reason to respond to this kind of misrepresentation.

    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

    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...

    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...
