    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    St. Paul insists that "Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses" (Acts 13:38-39). Also, that "we have been justified through faith" (Romans 5:1).

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    You mean all them thar verses in Josiah's post? 2 Peter 2:1 1 John 2:2 Titus 2:11 John 3:16 Hebrews 2:9 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 Not a single one of them applies "only to the Church." But no, I didn't ignore them.

    The Doctrine of Limited Atonement Now in a Debate Approved Area.

    First, you need to show that to be so, using Scripture, not a favorite contemporary writer's thoughts. absence of Faith. In other words, there is something else that is made possible because of the atonement. Moreover, even the Reformers whom you like to think of as forerunners to your own...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    That's obviously not correct to say.

    The Doctrine of Limited Atonement Now in a Debate Approved Area.

    Okay. I was just going by your post #28 in which you said this: You can see how a reader might mistake your stance after reading the above. And then there also was the "Like" you gave Dave when he presented his rationale for believing in limited atonement. But be that as it may, I am glad to...

    The Doctrine of Limited Atonement Now in a Debate Approved Area.

    Forgive me for interrupting, but if Jesus died for all, it means that all have been given a chance, that's all. Previously, that wasn't the case. As for the battle of the Bible verses going on here...please note that the ones that say "all" are hard for the reader to limit to just some people...

    The Doctrine of Limited Atonement Now in a Debate Approved Area.

    Actually, they don't prove any such thing. The fact that you imagine they do should give all of us a little warning about the dangers of reading into the Bible the ideas we already decided we want to believe. And there is also another admonition there. I'm referring to the temptation to...

    The Doctrine of Limited Atonement Now in a Debate Approved Area.

    You're right about that, but our Unitarian friend specializes in it. I am reminded, for example, of his posts about infant baptism and Scripture. If there is a case in the New Testament in which an adult is described as speaking with a believer about baptism...and then IS baptized, that...

    Bible Study on Universal Atonement

    By reading ONLY your own posts, you mean. :D

    Talk on Trinity

    Apparently, you cannot answer to the point that's before you--"belief In the three" which are what? Numerous heresies were condemned in the early church because all sorts of people agreed that there are three...something; but they didn't know what the three ARE, just that they accepted that...

    Limited Atonement Bible Study Part 1 & 2

    That view of the matter, which you correctly say is defective, is one that really does conflict with what the writers of the New Testament epistles had to say about it. It's not what "justification" means. To Justify is to acquit a person of having done something wrong. The action means that...

    Limited Atonement Bible Study Part 1 & 2

    That's a valuable--and needed--point. It is similar to the arguments we've read from some members concerning infant baptism. If and when Jesus or his followers tell people that they need to do X, it is nonsensical for us today to insist that the conversation as recorded in Scripture definitely...

    I was not sent to baptise

    Ouch. Yet another "one man denomination" kind of Christian who has read a few things and so is become both an historian and a Bible expert...thanks to Wikipedia! 🙄

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    35. Of the Homilies. The Second Book of Homilies, the several titles whereof we have joined under this Article, doth contain a godly and wholesome Doctrine, and necessary for these times, as doth the former Book of Homilies, which were set forth in the time of Edward the Sixth; and therefore we...

    Talk on Trinity

    The doctrine of the Trinity does not hold that God is three somethings or three forces or characteristics of God, or manifestations, etc. You affirmed in your profile that you believe the Nicene Creed. Take a look at it again and see that it does not describe the three persona of God in the way...

    I was not sent to baptise

    Baptism with water in the approved manner will not guarantee salvation anyway, and it is accepted that when water and a baptizer are not available, that does not prevent a new believer from being saved. Bear in mind that none of the above rejects baptism with water, and most of the verses cited...

    Divorce and Remarriage

    All that's necessary in today's Roman Catholic Church is to pay the Church its fee of some hundreds of dollars, explain why the marriage didn't go so well, and, voila! your marriage is "annulled" by the Church! Input/testimony from the person being cast off isn't required and, in some cases, is...

    USA Dump Trump

    He can rightly point to many successes during the Trump presidency, and they stand in stark contrast to the horrible failures of the current administration. So it's not amazing that he retains much of his popularity. Everybody seems to agree that people either love him or hate him, but that may...

    USA Dump Trump

    I would hope that wouldn't happen. But then again, I had hoped his announcement yesterday would not be of him having decided to run in 2024. At the same time, the voting "irregularities" that cost Trump the election in 2020 are still with us in the states where the Democrats were able to keep...
