    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I do not argue for "universal atonement", that is, from my perspective, a Protestant category. My argument is that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. I am content to let there be mystery in the words that God revealed by John the Baptist. I am a Catholic and do not...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    The above quote is also "circular reasoning" and "begging the question" because the "us" that is mentioned need not be taken as exhaustive of all who are to be saved; specifically, Hebrews' author intends by "us" those to whom he wrote, namely, Christians who knew something about Hebrew...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I disagreed with your post because it treats "sin of the world" as if it said, "sin of the elect". And since that is the matter we're disputing your post is both "begging the question" and "circular reasoning".

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Not a word in any of the passages you've quoted says that Christ died "for the elect alone". Not one passage teaches that Christ's intention was to take away only the sins of the elect. And there's a world of difference between "Behold the Lamb of God, behold he who takes away the sin of the...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    Oh, that's okay - I never take the 1689 Baptist confession too seriously either.

    The Word Trinity not in scripture? I believe it is.

    It is true that the New Testament is written in Greek and that many of its quotes from the Old Testament are from the LXX.

    Why Universal Atonement is Pelagianism.

    I've heard those theories stated before. I do not think scripture says those things. I can't find a verse for "died for the elect alone", nor one that says, "there's no such things as free will", and I suspect that every Christian holds that God saves his people from their sins and doesn't...

    Divorce and Remarriage

    One thing at a time; sufficient unto the thread are the theological debates of its Original Post :)

    Divorce and Remarriage

    That is the teaching of Christ; to divorce and remarry while one's "former partner" is still living is adultery. That is the teaching of the Catholic Church.

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

    I agree with the proposition that scripture does say that Christ's work is for all. I agree that it is bad theology to deny it.

    The Word Trinity not in scripture? I believe it is.

    Greek is the language of the Bible? One ought to write to the chief Rabbis around the world to let them know that Hebrew and Aramaic are no longer languages of the Bible.

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    Did you know that the scriptures say that Saint Peter holds the keys of the Kingdom of God? What is your intention with the remark about reformation confessions and the anti-Christ? Is this something which you approve?

    What now for Republicans?

    Maybe republicans are not God's chosen political party after all, eh? The Democratic Party isn't. Perhaps a lesson worth taking from the election is that Christ hasn't endorsed any earthly political party, so maybe Christians shouldn't endorse any too.

    The Word Trinity not in scripture? I believe it is.

    Trias (in Greek) is not Trinitas (in Latin), so it seems that "trinity" is not in 1 John 5:7-8 regardless of the comma.

    Divorce and Remarriage

    The Catholic Church eschews divorce followed by "remarriage" because the scriptures eschew it. What others in other religions do is up to them.

    Tongues and the Signs and Wonders Ceased, here’s why

    Another theological controversy - so many in so few posts! On this matter you have my sympathy because when I watch YouTube videos of tongues from the platform, the Holy Spirit hokey pokey, and people falling down onto the floor and laughing almost hysterically I'd rather say it was all a...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    Uh huh, that darned naughty Pope (which one by the way?) allegedly thwarted Jesus Christ and did some terrible thing by baptising in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, just as the Lord, Jesus Christ commanded in Matthew 28:1`9.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Would it trouble one's theology to leave intact in the scriptures both the idea of Christ taking away the sin of the world and the idea that one must repent and believe the gospel in order to be forgiven and made fit to enter God's presence?

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Makes you wonder why anyone would "justify" the ungodly?

    Why Universal Atonement is Pelagianism.

    What is "universal atonement"? The scriptures tell us that Jesus Christ is the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. The scriptures also tell us that God does not wish any to perish but for all the repent and come to know the truth. Saint Paul in his letters tells us that death came...
