    Does your family only go to church Christmas and Easter?

    Is it that they are celebrating the two biggest days on the Christian calendar, just as all Christians do? I'm referring to: 1) the day God became one of us, and 2) the day He redeemed mankind? All things considered, I cannot feel much resentment over the "Christmas and Easter" churchgoers...

    Why Universal Atonement is Pelagianism.

    That's just ignorance of the concept we call Universal Atonement. Christ paid the price for the human race which until then had no chance of salvation. But he didn't make it a guarantee of salvation, come what may, since all of us have lives to lead and options concerning whether to follow...

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    Yes, that so-called "interpretation" has been "maligned." By you, that is. Most people here believe what the Bible has to say, and there's not much interpreting that we need to do when the verse says "God desires all people to be saved!" How else should we take that? God DOESN'T desire all...

    Understanding God's will in a decision

    All right. And thank you. Since it is as you have described, I would think that "looking around" is right and proper. Some people feel that to visit other churches and possibly switch memberships is a dishonorable thing to do, but it is not. Especially is it not that when your spiritual...

    Understanding God's will in a decision

    First, we have to think that it DOES matter to God "where we go" to church. Next, there is the question of where, exactly, that could be. In order to get a handle on your problem--which is a very common one--we need to address some preliminary matters. For one, is the church you currently...

    Wealth disparity

    That's God's right to do. It still isn't Socialism, which is a purely political concept of government. Still has nothing to do with Socialism. Or Fascism. Or Naziism.

    Wealth disparity

    There is no "Kingdom of God" sense to the words socialism and socialist. You mean to compare the Kingdom of God to something else. Either way, that still isn't socialism. Socialism is a specifically political program in which the government takes the wealth from some people and redistributes...

    Wealth disparity

    Jesus did not say what you claimed earlier, then. There is no doubt whatsoever that this verse that you yourself chose to present to us shows Jesus telling an individual person to engage in voluntary charitable giving. There is not even a hint of him recommending, urging, or supporting the...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I cannot agree that Sola Fide is an adjunct of Limited Atonement, and certainly not that it's simply a nice after-effect as Dave insists it is. BUT I do appreciate you indicating that you know Faith is a necessary next step after Universal Atonement (to put it crudely). That's a point that...

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

    All right. Then we have established that you have substituted your own theory about Faith which denies the Biblical meaning of Faith. At the least, this may help explain why you refuse to be educated on what's wrong with your predestinarian views about atonement. However, you could have...

    Is grace the cause of one's salvation?

    No. The first definition given in the Merriam Webster dictionary directs us to that usage: "consisting of or amounting to a large but indefinite number"

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    True enough. True. Thank you! Someone had to say it at last! You said it well and, besides, I'm not about to disagree with your wife about this! I do appreciate her take on the matter, especially because of her background. When it comes to our friend, it's time we recognize that he...

    If 1 Corinthians 10:13 is supposed to be addressed to all Christians, it is not true

    Well then, you are challenging the correctness of the Scripture.

    Is grace the cause of one's salvation?

    Hardly any of those verses can be made to say that Christ died for only a select few who had been predestined from all eternity. Most just indicate that God HAS adherents while there are other people who are not followers. I think we all know that to be true, and it doesn't say anything about...

    If 1 Corinthians 10:13 is supposed to be addressed to all Christians, it is not true

    Okay, we understand the pressures, but you concluded that the Bible was in error when teaching that God will not allow a person to be tempted beyond what he can bear. To blame God instead of oneself is the problem. After all, the Scripture doesn't say that God will intervene to prevent anyone...

    Is grace the cause of one's salvation?

    Now you have isolated your error. So far so good. Atonement does NOT mean "saves its subjects." No, it does not; and that is what you have been advised over and over again. If you can do nothing more than repeat your mistaken theory about that, what more can be accomplished on this thread or...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I'm sorry, but there's no escaping the conclusion that you just do not understand the issue. With you, either every mortal is given a free pass or else there's predestination. Well, those are not the only alternatives, but you appear determined not to deal with, let alone agree with, any...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    None of that appears to deal with the issue here.
