Ah Ha, I just realized to what you are referring. Matt and John are NOT referencing the Gospels. In Post 1076 Brightfame used Matt Poole and John Gill as confirmation sources for his statements. As far as I know, they are Calvinists. Maybe you should read back a few posts before making...

never stated such, nor implied such. Many things were changed by the RC, but unfortunately, Luther and Calvin threw out the baby with the bath water. In the history of the Church, there has never been such a thing as reformed before Calvin. The two concepts of predestination and Original...

Precisely, 1500 years after the Gospel was given. All false teachings are based on scripture. It is very easy to determine false teachings when the teachings are 1500 years after the fact. It is also quite obvious when one needs to change the wording, not just the meaning, but the wording of...

Only in your opinion. What I explained to you about the Incarnation has been the understanding of Christians from the beginning, It is historical fact that I gave to you, not my opinion. First, it does not say elect. It says "just for the unjust". There is also no conversion mentioned or...

All false teachings have biblical support. In all the citations I gave to you earlier, some person, many of them Patriarchs came up with their own interpretation of some text. If you want to know how the Church answered false teachings read Acts 15 dealing with circumcision issue at what could...

Your statement does not match the text you cited. There is no mention of elect, either directly, or implied. BUT it is describing the Incarnation. So my question to you again, what is your understanding of the Incarnation?

It does not answer the question? A reply that is a non answer like the one above is worthless.

I asked the question. So where is the answer. A discussion is a two-way street.

You are confused as to what is doctrine and what is a teaching. The idea was first spoken of by Origin of Alexandria. It never was an applied doctrine of the Church, either east or west. I might also mention that every false teaching came from some individual within the Church. But none of them...

The schools were not schools as you and I think of them. Besides that, schools did not determine the doctrine of the Church. Doctrine was determined by what was believed from the beginning by the Church. Individual men, or schools never determined what the Church believed. The first time in...

Your statement is about the Incarnation. That is why I asked the question. If you didn't know that, then you don't understand what you stated, they are directly connected.

Yes, which is why I asked the question. So, how do you understand the Incarnation?

Just a factual correction. Universalism was never a Christian doctrine. Origin (185 - 254) was the one who first wrote about Universalism. This teaching was declared heretical by the Fifth Ecumenical Council of 553 (Council of Constantinople II).

What is your understanding of the Incarnation?

You can believe what you want. You have nothing but your opinion on the matter. What I gave to you has been the understanding of the gospel from the beginning. Your attempt to put your understanding or interpreting what I stated notwithstanding. You have a problem in understanding someone and...
