What has this to do with the topic? The above are two separate issues unrelated to what Christ accomplished by His Incarnation/death/resurrection.

Christ accomplished two things by His Incarnated life/death/resurrection. If Christ did not overcome death, this is physical death, the condemnation given to Adam, Gen 3:19, dust to dust, sin becomes irrelevant. That death was actually annihilation of each individual human being. We were...

What does it mean that Christ reconciled the world? And why? The doctrine of salvation is rooted in creation. We must know what man is or was in order to understand salvation. The essential understanding is that man was restored from the fall. Restored to fulfill the created purpose of...

You must have missed a word in vs 19. It says He reconciled the world. That means everything in the world as well as the world itself. You quoted Col 1:20 in another post. It does not say "world" in this text, but it clearly makes no exceptions from it. Scripture being consistant Rom 5:10...

You have a bizarre understanding of these verses. You quote Col 1:20 which is a text that directly, specifically denies your whole view of particular atonement. Paul is saying that Christ is the fullness and in His human nature resurrected and ascended. Christ is the created and glorified...

As you posted a video regarding the false teachings of Calvinism it becomes very apparent in the particular views that stem from these errant theologies. Those that hold to some form of eternal security are consistent within that view regarding other scriptural principles . However, throughout...

It is hard to believe because no place in scripture will you find such an explanation regarding either reconciliation as you state. First, Christ's reconciliation of the world was done so that man and the world would once again have an eternal existence. Foremost, death needed to be conquered...

So you keep saying but you cannot change what the Bible states and what historically it has meant from the beginning. All you have is an errant understanding that has no basis in scripture. Problaby most, if not all , just your opinion. I'm interested in knowing how Calvin treats the...

Since you have no knowledge of historical Christianity I will help you with some quotes from St Athanasius' book "On the Incarnation" (lived 296 - 373 AD) "We will begin, then, with the creation of the world and with God its Maker, for the first fact that you must grasp is this: the renewal of...

One incorrect statement and one correct statement. The world means world, the physical world and everything in it. Col 1:20, Your second statement you finally got correct. not imputing, means to overlook, or not charge their sins to them. You are making progress, alleluia.

your saying Christ ONLY reconciled believers, which is your false limited atonement theory. One does not need to go any further to know your whole explanation is not scriptural. The concept is a direct denial of the Incarnation, so how could it be scriptural.

You have not posted anything that even comes close to the truth. You post your opinion on a text but it never aligns with scripture. Being a Calvinist I would think you might quote something from Calvin on these verses, not that he might have it correct, but at least you would have some...

I understand what you say. That is why I know so clearly that it is not scriptural. What you don't understand is there are two distinct reconciliations occurring. The first is God in Christ was reconciling the world to Himself. Christ is the one doing the reconciling. What was He reconciling...

Another gross misunderstanding of a text. God did not take any sins away. He did not charge them for their sins. In other words, He overlooked their sins.

Whatever it is you think you explained, it cannot be found in scripture. The explanation I gave to you, and have been giving to you has been the belief of Christians from the very beginning. As I stated you have no understanding of the Incarnation. On that basis you will get everything else...

You may try to impress with your great grammer knowledge but it seems you need to twist everything to fit your view, rather than what scripture is saying. The passive subject here is God. Paul is speaking about being ambassadors for Christ since we now are reconciled by Christ to God. He is...

First, Christ is not our Head. In His Incarnation Christ became man. He is us, every human being because we all possess the very same nature. Christ is not some abstract entity simply representing man, or in your case only some men. This statement is a direct denial of the Incarnation of...

Philippians 2:12-16.

A sacrifice does not forgive sins. Very simple to understand. Christ forgives sin but ONLY when one confesses their sin. That os why we have a High Priest in the heavens. If what you say was actually correct then all the sins of the world are forgiven and no one will go to hell. Your...

But you are in error regarding the Eastern/Greek, Orthodox Church. The Catholic Church declared it heresy by the Fifth Ecumenical Council 553.
