I am curious what each person's perspective is on this. While it's true that the Bible says a lot about the body of Jesus being sacrificed, I believe we should dig a little deeper to fully grasp what happened. First, I would like to discuss the human body. The human body itself, as far as sin...

I'm perfectly fine with rejecting non-Scriptural gospels.

You seem to have rightly identified that Catholicism is not Christianity, but they just make it very obvious. Protestantism got literally all of its doctrines from the Catholics roots they cleaved off from. If you're a Protestant, I would check very closely what you are being taught at church or...

Jesus isn't God though. Jesus is God's chosen servant, the one God anointed, empowered, and sent into the world. I believe Jesus was sacrificed. The Bible says Jesus died and when he died it wasn't just the body of Jesus that died because any one's body can die. Can I ask you how just a body of...

No limited atonement is not the gospel.

What I said was true. Being one with God is something Jesus said others can have in John 17:20-23 and the conclusion isn't that they are immortal. Also, I might add, Jesus' soul was not immortal. It was sacrificed, i.e., his soul died. Isaiah 53 10Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath...

I would rather an atheist present the gospel correctly than a fanatical Calvinist preach a false gospel.

Limited atonement is a heretical false doctrine. Scripture proves it.

That's true. Physical churches tend to attract like-minded people and they all gather together and agree, mostly. Online is a bit like the wild west. It isn't really sorted out yet. It might help to start filtering people with bans but the Internet is pretty open in a general sense. I would...

I was just responding in kind to @brightfame52 who also did not respond with Scripture, but yes I can also show Scripture. I hope he will also show Scripture next time. But for my point please see the below. There is choosing to declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord (obviously not in a...

I agree with that and part of that faith is that if we sin, we must confess our sins to God, but not in a lip service sort of way, but with the sincere intention that we are going to take action to try to not do it again. If Jesus taught people to forgive their brothers if they repent even 70 x...

I believe that eternal life is not given until after the resurrection. Jesus is our example of this. He was dead then after he was resurrected he will live forever. He made no claims to being immortal or having eternal life prior to being resurrected.

This only aligns with Calvinist theology. There are many conditions for salvation in the Bible.

There is a great argument to make on behalf of your beliefs, no doubt, but my approach to the Bible is that there must be an explanation for the things that seemingly contradict each other that make the verses come into agreement. What I believe is that there is a context to everything. Did...

Unfortunately it is not as cut and dry as that because the teachings of Jesus are spread out. Despite seeming to guarantee eternal life to people in the now, how also spoke of it as something that is had later and it seems to be conditional on those who were good or not. What do you make of...

When are or were you eternally secure and why are there teachings in the Bible of people not being eternally secure until if a positive verdict is made at their judgement?

So Jesus didn't need to sacrificed for people to have grace? There's a condition. There is also Paul who said people can fall from grace. How is that a picture of unconditional grace?

I mean, I hope it doesn't ruffle any feathers. I hope people will understand that grace is something that can be lost. Paul said it anyway and there's a lot of other things that suggest it.

Grace is conditional and is a response that each person must give actively. You can start with Romans 5:1-2 that says grace is accessed through faith. Faith is therefore a work that someone performs according to Jesus in John 6:29. So the conclusion is grace is earned and it can be lost as well...

Jesus didn't think high numbers are significant: Mattt 7 14For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
