Yes, that's how I understood it also. The original OP's objections pertained to the "Reformed/Calvinist" position of election, of which you asserted/suggested that the objections were against the "Reformed doctrine of election". Calvin's views on election are perhaps more widely known and...

Of course. It's a description of how God has loved all/us in Christ. It's wonderful too.

Who's idea within reformed theology would that be? For example: Calvin, Luther, Barth and Schleiermacher are all considered "Reformed", yet each had remarkably different ideas concerning election, as this video example illustrates: I don't think there is simply one accepted thought on the...

Here are some of the terms I was using. Man = Soul Soul = Body + Spirit Spirit = Breath of God, Image of God in Man Body = Dust + Flesh Dust = From the Earth Flesh = Earthly Nature Earthly Nature = Carnal/Natural/Old man If you would, share some of the terms you're thinking of (that avoid...

Wonderful verse. And, here is a description of how to love your wife/spouse: 1Co 13:4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; 1Co 13:5 it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 1Co 13:6 it does not rejoice at wrong...

It's because we're using the terms (soul, body, spirit, flesh, etc.) differently. Everyone, according to the flesh, ends up in the lake of fire, not the spirit or body, per se, (ie: soul), but rather the "flesh". And that is a good thing. That's where death belongs and is swallowed up in...

The one who started this thread. The focus seems to be about limited atonement in general and positive (predestined) reprobation in particular.

Sounds like you're running a one man show here. Like a carnival barker without much of an audience...lol It's kind of weird actually, you quote a ton of scripture and then go on to ruin/destroy a lot of it with your exegesis. Out of curiosity: What do the numbers mean at the end of some of...

The flesh continues to sin and will do so until death is swallowed up in victory. However, the spirit does not sin. To repent is about changing the mind, and instead of desiring to live according to the flesh we now desire to live according to the spirit. However, the flesh continues to sin.

The "lake of fire" is really an allegory having reference to our flesh (the carnal/natural/old man), which is the carnal/fleshly nature of the body. Our body (together with it's fleshly nature) is sown in corruption, dishonor and weakness. This "natural body" of ours at death, returns to the...

Yes, however, the change of mind needed to enter into the Kingdom is for those who are regenerated, not those of the flesh. The flesh cannot see the Kingdom within the spirit, hear Jesus' call to enter when the door is opened or even repent (change its way of thinking). It's simply not able to...

I think the correct translation is found in the KJV or ASV, or a more literal one such as the YLT. The Kingdom of God is "within", or "inside" you. This is what I believe Jesus actually taught, said, and what Luke recorded for us. And Luke did so under divine inspiration. There is no reason...

LOL...no, you really haven't. What you've tried to do is regurgitate articles 31 and 32 of your confession of faith (Baptist Confession of 1689). As an example, article 31.1-3: Contrary to your confession, the soul is not an "immortal subsistence", nor does the soul exist apart from the body...

And yet, you've had no response to anything I've posted other than insults. I've provided you text after text, scripture upon scripture and yet, somehow, you keep returning empty handed.

The soul (ie: body + spirit) is separated in death exactly as stated in Ecc 12:7. The flesh returns to the earth and the spirit to God, it's eternal home. And this is true for all souls, not some but all souls. In the resurrection of judgment (Mat 25:32-46), the spirit and flesh (the two...

None the texts you've cited are with reference to the "spirit" of man. I'm still waiting, however.

Actually, to believe on the Son (Jesus) was the message He was sent to deliver: Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. The Gospel of the Kingdom that was...

What is "disgusting" is your pontificating that God torments the spirit of man (God's own breath and image) in the lake of fire and that God does so for all eternity. Of which there is no such evidence to be found anywhere in scripture, let alone the book Revelation. You've simply conjured up...

Not necessarily "is" saved, as yet, but rather "shall be" saved. Php 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Php 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the...

Follow-up to previous post: I've got nothing against pizza, lasagna or hot dogs, for the record...lol
