    Save yourselves?

    Which versions say "be saved" instead of "save yourselves". You mention ten, which are these ten?

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    'tis a pity that the holy scripture says it differently from you; you say that the Lord came to save his sheep [alone] yet the verse before the one that you cite says that Christ came to save the world. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world...

    I am very sure that ImaginaryDay2 did not say what you've misrepresented him as saying.

    This kind of post is a good reason not to participate in this thread.

    Calvinism Vs Arminian

    Since both Arminianism and Calvinism are protestant "isms" I do not have a "dog in this race" so fight on protestant brethren.

    Save yourselves?

    There is one version that I have that says "be saved" in Acts 2:40 and it is the NASB. All the others that I have to hand say "save yourselves" and the Greek says "σώθητε ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς τῆς σκολιᾶς ταύτης." The underlined words mean (in English) "Be you (plural) saved from" which is...

    Save yourselves?

    It may make "more sense" to you but it is not what saint Peter said. He said "save yourselves".

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    Oh, well that is an irrelevance. First John is a pastoral letter not a gospel like the Gospel according to saint John.

    Calvinism Vs Arminian

    Are you disagreeing that being a synergist is being godly and Christian and having a sound grasp of holy scripture? and that it's following the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ faithfully?

    Calvinism Vs Arminian

    Josiah wrote "And many here have listed MANY, MANY Scriptures that verbatim states He died for all." I will not defend his statement in full but it is worth pointing out that 1John 2:2 explicitly says that Christ's expiatory sacrifice was for the sins of the whole world. That is one more...

    Excellent, then being a synergist is being godly and Christian and having a sound grasp of holy scripture, right? It's following the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ faithfully, right?

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    First John is not "speaking to the Jews". He's writing to "his little children". My little children, I am writing this to you so that you may not sin; but if any one does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the expiation for our sins, and not for ours...

    Save yourselves?

    Saint Peter is saying "save yourselves" he has to say that in order to say "save yourselves from this corrupt generation". It's part of the sentence. It can't be avoided. "from this corrupt generation" is what saint Peter urges his listeners to save themselves from. I do not see how this can be...

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    Does it not seem possible to you that "for many" is inclusive rather than exclusive. The Lord did not say "for a few" which is what "limited" tends to imply. He said "for many" implying many will be forgiven because his blood of the new covenant is poured out for them. But if the phrase makes...

    Calvinism Vs Arminian

    But you are mistaken because the L of TULIP is intended to be a 'big scary monster'. It's the heart of double predestination which is lovely for those who 'believe' and quite horrible for everyone who does not. I put believe in quotes because as you will discover, if you do not yet know it, that...

    Agree? Isn't it my post that stated that "God sent the Lord Jesus Christ to be the expiation for the sins of the whole world. The intention is to save all who are in Christ. All really means all.

    Second thoughts In a certain country, in which bread was the staple diet of the people, the wheat crop failed several years in a row. As a result, famine raged throughout the land. The king, who was renowned for his kindness, was very concerned. As soon as the famine broke out, he went...

    Sunday thoughts

    If we love Jesus, we sense a growing desire within ourselves to know the life-giving experience contained in his words. The life- giving experience comes, in part, through our service to others, in imitation of Jesus. But what kind of service can there be without a recollected...
