    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    So, you are either ignorant or have no ability to actually put forth a cogent discusssion. You apparently have not idea what the Incarnation means. Actually, you never stated that you even believe Christ was Incarnated. Now, you cannot even show how it might fit within your own theological...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Christ died for the world. Until you can show that Christ did not die, reconcile, justify all things, made all things right, you are teaching a falsehood. It might be helpful if you actually define how you understand the Incarnation. How does it fit within your theological view? You need to...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Even if your interpretation of scripture was correct that the word WORLD, means believers, it would not make sense either. You triple down on your nonsensical explanation. If God in fact reconciled those you believe were predestinated to believe, what is the purpose of the reconciliation...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    then show me based on what I have stated. I have asked you several questions, but you have not answered. Is it because you don't understand your own view. You might be espousing someone else's view, not knowing what their view actually means. Go back to my last several posts and find the...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Where is your evidence. You claim Calvin and Gill are your masters. It is called Calvinism for a reason. If it was the Truth it would not claim to be Calvinism.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    I want to know how you can get the word believer out of the word, WORLD. My dictionary, does not give a definition of believer for the word world. So I checked a Biblical dictionary. They don't either. So, where do you get your definition of world from? Col 1:20 is even more particular, It...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    I understand the Truth. I even understand the truth you are purveying but you have very little understanding of what scripture means. Give me some evidence that what you believe was actually believed from the beginning. I'm not sure you even have an understanding of Calvinism as He portrayed...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    How incongruous can you be. Does Calvin even say these nonsensical comments? If Christ by His resurrection forgave sins, then why would your concept of a believer still be in trespasses and sins? Do you know what the word "quickened" means? Notice also that the verb is past tense - "saved"...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Which, of course, denies direct teaching of scripture. Hebh 2:9. Then in I Cor 15:12-22 it speaks of all the dead being raised because Christ was raised from the dead. It also states that all men died through the condemnation of Adam', and all men will be given life, this is physical, eternal...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Do you believe that scripture, as Truth, supports all the thousands of interpretations that have come forth, especially in the last 500 years.?

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Typical of someone who cannot defend their interpretation (Calvins's) with scripture. I believe in the way, the Truth and the Life, which is Christ. You do not have a correct understanding of who Christ is and what He accomplished for us. It is one thing to have a single idea that is...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    You have a theory that looks for isolated verses so you can say things that make no sense within scripture. Your Rom 5:10 denies the truth of verse 12, and when Paul actually gives us the summation of Christ's work in verse 18 you totally ignore it to prop up your theory. Then you jump to Col...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    A good example of lifting a text out of context that seemingly states what you say. Paul is writing, actually speaking to Christians, however Paul in the very next verse explains that it is not just believers that were reconciled. It clearly says God was in Christ reconciling t he WORLD to...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    You have a serious disconnect between your theology and scripture. You add to scripture texts or just misinterpret them trying to support an errant view. You did not accept the simple meaning of Heb 2:14-15. You attempt to twist very clear language to fit your view when scripture does not say...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    I appreciate your view. However, you were unable to show any scripture to support your view. You were unable to explain or give a theological argument for your view. Scripture does not have many interpretations. Texts don't have many meanings.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Where in scripture did Christ begat spiritual seed. You are grossly confused on this text. You fail to understand Heb 2:14-17, so we will move on. If you cannot even explain limited atonement theologically how would you understand scripture. Scripture never uses the term, not that it has to...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Amazingly your first part is correct. The verse does not speak about believers. It is addressing mankind. Mankind's flesh and blood. The word "seed" here refers to Abraham's seed. Abraham's seed are those who had the same faith as did Abraham. It was for that purpose, that Christ died, to...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    If you mean to say Christ in His Human Nature keep His faith, as well as He prayed to God is correct. Christ did not give birth to spiritual seed. A believer attains spiritual life by faith and baptism. Heb 2:14 states very clearly that Christ took on Himself our human nature, flesh and...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    These Psalms that are quoted in these verses are Messianic. The Psalmist is speaking of declaring God's Name to his brothers, and the other children God as given to Him. It shows a solidarity between the Messish and the people of Israel, This Shows the solidarity of the Messiah with the...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    You are not even consistent within your own theology. Christ is the Truth. He is NOT a believer. Furthermore, your theology says they were predestined as believers, not to become believers. You are trying to mix pagan philosophy of predestination into scripture and it does not fit. They are...
