All you had to do is look at his commentary. "The implicit point Peter is making emerges from his claim that the false teachers distort Paul’s letters “as they do the other Scriptures.” The word “other” (loipos) shows that Peter considers the letters of Paul to belong to the category of...

It's amazing how you suddenly develop a reading comprehension disorder when Scripture refutes your point of view. Peter plainly says that there are some things in Paul's letters that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other...

The word translated "Scripture" in 2 Peter 3:16 below is "graphe." It's plain to see that Peter does in fact refer to Paul's writings as "Scripture." 2Pe 3:15 And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him...

:lol:

Where is paradise, Stan? Just curious.

Yes, you certainly are the king of distinctions without a difference. Oh, and by the way Stan, that Matt Slick article doesn't help you, it hurts you. You really should go back and read it again very very carefully.

The Greek word for "jesting" in your proof text is "eutrapelia." Like most words, it has more than one meaning. The ESV rightly translates "eutrapelia" as "crude joking." I'll refer you to definition 2 & 2a. εὐτραπελία eutrapelia Thayer Definition: 1) pleasantry, humour, facetiousness 2) in a...

I have to admit that I find that statement a bit alarming. Human logic doesn't always pan out, especially when we don't have all of the facts. Paul tells us that: 2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in...

No, with your definition of "all" in mind, that's the text of Scripture speaking Stan. Rom 5:18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. If "all" means everyone without exception as you suppose then...

Let's deal with this one first. If "all men" means everyone without exception as you believe then this verse teaches universalism. If your understanding is correct, this verse doesn't just prove universal atonement, it proves universal justification and life for all men without exception. Rom...

You're the only one tossing John Calvin's name around. I neither mention him nor quote his writings. I agree with Calvin 95% of the time so the label is appropriate. Thanks for you concern. That invitation is for private correspondence with those who want a civil discussion about Reformed...

Then you're left with all of the contradictions and universalism proof text your view creates. Good luck with that.

What a red herring! LOL Unfortunately, you operate under a huge misunderstanding regarding Reformation history. It's no secret that for centuries much controversy surrounds Calvin's view of the extent of the atonement. Sometimes he sounds like he advocates limited atonement and sometimes he...

Hi Jack, Where do you teach?

Hello Jack, Interesting. I'm familiar with consubstantiation, but not Luther's Sacramental Union. I listen to the radio program Issues Etc. almost every day. I've never heard them speak of this. Can I find an explanation of LSU in the Book of Concord? Just as a side note, does your church...

The 1689 London Baptist Confession is a Reformed confession. What I quoted is representative of the "L" in TULIP. The 1689 LBC is no different than any other Reformed confession on Limited Atonement. So your assertion that "RT does believe that Jesus died for ALL sin" is absurd. I've already...

Wrong. 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith Chapter 11: Of Justification 4. God did from all eternity decree to justify all the elect, and Christ did in the fullness of time die for their sins, and rise again for their justification; nevertheless, they are not justified personally, until...

First, if Christ died for everyone without exception then everyone without exception would be saved. The problem with this is that only those who are granted faith and repentance will come to Christ, as I've proven here many times before. There's no need or Christ to die for those whom God has...

The word "incoherent" comes to mind. I think we've entered the twilight zone. :wacko:
