    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Perhaps not, but I was working off your comment "and the other is so limited that it would make God save out of all mankind only a handful of people" Which He did at the time of Noah/flood.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Perhaps this one relates to what went before Christ died for His sheep… Romans 11:5,7,25 KJV Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. [7] What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    But they linger when left unanswered. Sure it states why all do not have faith... But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    One can argue about Christ dying for all, all they want, but 2000 years of blindness upon the Jews doesn’t add up in practical terms. IOW, If he died for ALL, why did He blind some?

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Despite the contentions of some, free will and election plays an integral part in who Christ died for, you can’t separate the three… Romans 11:25 KJV For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    See your post #441. Interestingly, those were the only two versions which inserted the words 'His sheep'; all the other versions say 'the sheep'. For example: John 10:11 (KJV) I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But I believe the context of John 10 is...

    Rabbi Manis Friendman's views on God and religion

    'God needs us'...?? What was God doing in eternity minus the history of man? Otherwise, thought-provoking.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I can't speak for Dave, I haven't been following his posts. 'Jesus is the God/man' was to counter your pulling the 'Apostle Card' (even though all Scripture is inspired by God). A couple of interesting translations... Contemporary English Version I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I believe I said 'by faith ALONE' big difference. Remember 'sola fidei'? Tulip Stuff is another discussion. The point was novelty of a teaching, which 'sola fidei' represented, corresponding to limited atonement. The question isn't 'how new' a teaching is but rather 'how true'. Granted...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Were they teaching 'justification by faith alone', or you don't hold to that because of it's novelty? In other words Scripture doesn't interpret Scripture? Ephesians 1:4 KJV According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Ok, so neither has an answer for the other. No progress. Jesus was the God/man and He stated... John 17:9 (KJV) I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. Matthew 16:17 (KJV) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Man is so depraved, why would he care if Jesus loved him or not? No where in Acts do we see the Apostles say to any individual, "Jesus died for you", rather it was a general call, and those who had ears to hear responded... Acts 13:48 KJV And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I'm not indebted to Calvin at all, as I have explained, I do not have a solid position on 'Christ dying only for the elect', although it was through Scripture (Ephesians 1) that I came under conviction that those saved were predestined...long before I heard the name of Calvin.
