Christ's work was not subjective, meaning it had to do with believers. It had all to do with Christ reconciling, redeeming, justifying the WORLD TO GOD. Col 1:20, Rom 5:8, Rom 5:18-19, II Cor 5:18-19, I Cor 15:20-22, II Tim 1:10, Heb 2:14-15, Heb 2:9, I John 2:2. II Cor 5:14-15. The verse very...

He makes it possible for man to seek forgiveness. He made the sacrifice for sin for the world. So that all men could seek Him, find Him and believe, repent, and have their sins forgiveen. Correct. To maintain your faith you must continually seek forgiveness of sin. I'm assuming you believe you...

You have the definitions correct, but your application of them is incorrect. You seem to dwell on this word "IMPUTE" Christ does impute His Righteousness to mankind. To make it simple for many who might not follow your definitions. Righteous, reconcile, justify, redeem all have the same...

So you agree with Behold, but fail to answer the issue. The parable does not even address what I was discussing with Behold. It seems apparent that you don't understand ones relationship with God, as well as just what faith entails. Belief ALONE is worthless. James 2:19-26. If you claim faith...

In both instances FOR THE WORLD. Specific believers are not referenced except in the context of believing. Christ reconciled the world to Himself, so that He could call all men to repentance. Yes, it was a gift to mankind. It was also "salvation" but not individual spiritual salvation as you...

Only if one confesses ones sins and repents. No other way. God does not arbitrarily forgive anyone's sins. The claim you making does not exist in scripture. What Christ did by His assuming our human nature and dying and rising from the dead was to reconcile the world to God. Col 1:20, Rom 5:8...

So, you expound on your theory but you cannot even give a definition of righteousness, or righteous. Simply amazing, actually quite stunning. How about engaging instead of your theorizing.

I'm not sure just which idea you actually believe as scriptural. I thought you had agreed with mine, but now you seem to hold that Kermos is correct. If so, I totally misunderstood what you stated.

What is your definition of "righteousness, or even righteous?

fully agree, However Kermos, holds the view that man's nature is different between a believer and an unbeliever.

You use the word "converts" yet scripture never uses that word in this context. His death redeemed, reconciled, justified, but never converts. I cited several texts that address this very point. You choose not to address them because they all deny your view.

You tend to cherry pick verse that seemingly fit your theory. However the context belies such an understanding. I Pet 1-5 is the context. Vs 3-4 is addressing the overcoming of death to all men through Christ's resurrection. Then it speaks about an inheritance that awaits believers. But who...

you just proved me correct. What the text says is that God granted repentance to the Gentiles as well as Jews. God does not repent for either one. Making it available does not make God the active agent in repentance. He does not control it, but by His work of redemption, offers it. Eph...

I think we are hung up on the meaning of words. You use "causing" and scripture uses "influence". A vast difference in meaning. If you really believe that God causes man to believe and that God causes man to think differently, the how do you answer that man, a believer still sins. Your theory...

You got one thing correct. Christ accomplished the will of God. But your text of I Pet 3:18 makes all men converted to Christ. Unless you believe that ONLY believers were unjust and all other man were righteous. Your theology shows a complete lack of understanding of who Christ is and what He...

God's objective purpose for Christ was to redeem the world. His work accomplished two things. He overcame death, the condemnation of death as a result of Adam's sin. secondly, his blood sacrifice would redeem the world from sin. God's purpose was it make it possible for mankind to overcome...

So far so good if you believe that all men were unjust. I Cor 15: 20-22. Rom 5:8-11. God's work of redemption was objective. It is an accomplished work, accomplished by Him coming into this world to redeem this world. To bring His creation back to Him. Heb 2:9, I John 2: 2, Rom 5:18-19. Col...

First, being "born again" does not change man's will. It is free and independent from the will of God. Being Born Again, is man accepting the offer of God to repent and be baptized. Man is just as free in ;will before and after "being born again. Man, a Christian, submits his will to the...

Outside of scripture reality shows how erroneous your view might be. Scripturally, Adam was indeed created with a will of his own. An independent will. The prayer of Jesus in the Garden before His arrest attests to the fact man has an independent will. Christ denied His will from His human...

You are very correct. They would like it to be about 1 billion. They want to accomplish this in this century. That's about 7 billion diffrerence today. The US has some willing participants like John Holdren: Obama's science czar and a proponent of eugenics, population control.
