    Jesus Christ, died for all

    All five of the five points of Calvinism are wrong. All of TULIP is unscriptural. If, as you say, one needs to accept all five of the letters of TULIP to be a true Calvinist then being a Calvinist is just shorthand for being unbiblical.

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    Let's see how The Catechism of the Catholic Church starts. Let people decide if it is as Mennosota claims - obfuscating and burden creating. PART ONE: THE PROFESSION OF FAITH SECTION ONE "I BELIEVE" - "WE BELIEVE" 26 We begin our profession of faith by saying: "I believe" or "We believe"...

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    The Catechism of the Catholic Church is designed and intended to present the teaching of Christ and of the his Church as succinctly and clearly as possible in a book of instruction for the pastors of the faithful. It presents this teaching in the following format. IV. Structure of this Catechism...

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    Some say that of the bible. The CCC was not written in English. It's first draft was in French, later translated to Latin, and later still translated into English. So The Catechism of the Catholic Church is not written in the best English. But it is clear enough and comprehensive enough to be...

    God still chooses.

    Why is an image of Menno Simons associated with Calvinist theology? Menno was an Anabaptist despised by Calvinists. Menno Simons (1496 – 31 January 1561) was a former Catholic priest from the Friesland region of the Netherlands who became an influential Anabaptist religious leader. Simons was...

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    The Catechism of the Catholic Church is reliable and useful for understanding Catholic teaching on all the matters with which it deals. Holy scripture is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.

    Not knowing Calvinist theology could be seen as advantageous for understanding biblical teaching. I see it as an advantage.

    What you believe is not relevant to the facts. Josiah says such & such about his wife and he knows her better than you.

    However the fact remains that holy scripture says that the Lord, Jesus Christ, died for all.

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    Despite disagreeing with MennoSota on nearly every topic of theology he does have a point, not well made or politely made, that some of Josiah's replies are very wordy. If it was a long quote from some source that's acceptable but long self quotes becomes a little tedious to read. Long...

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    It is odd to watch all the arguments trying to deny that Jesus Christ died for all when holy scripture directly states that he died for all. What's the point in denying what is written in holy scripture? I appreciate that some of you believe in "Limited atonement" for whatever reasons seem good...

    What is God's role in salvation?

    Neither your church nor mine wrote the bible. Some people long dead wrote it. Our churches like to claim lineal descent from the writers. The claim may be true. MennoSota doesn't like the claims of our churches. In the end who can decide the matter here in CH? I think no one can. We choose what...

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    Christ died for all. 2 Corinthians 5:11-20 Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience. 12 We are not commending ourselves to you again but giving you cause to be proud of us, so that you may be...

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    Saying that Christ died for the sins of the whole world is quoting from holy scripture. Denying it is playing around with questionable theology. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. (I John 2:2)

    Save yourselves?

    Yes, and an odd bunch many of them are. Are they in print? I see a few that are likely in print but many seem to be the work of individuals whose scholarly background is not clear. Note: CSB & HSCB are the same, AMP and AMPC are the same and NASB also comes from the same source, Here are the...

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    If you just quoted holy scripture instead of offering your slant on what it says then there'd be no dispute between us but you do not do that you keep offering your view of its meaning as if that is what the holy scriptures really say. It is, of course, not so.

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    Anybody who wants to become a Calvinist and defend TULIP is welcome to do so but they will not have anything from holy scripture compelling them to do so. The holy scriptures say that Christ died for the whole world.

    Save yourselves?

    This is true, I posted it earlier. "be you (a plural you) saved from" is what the expression σώθητε ἀπὸ says in literalese - "save yourselves" in English. And it is imperative, a command, something you are to do (by obedience) by fleeing from "this [current] wicked generation" which cannot...
