    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    I have to leave now, but I will come back later and show you from scripture what you have all wrong.

    How Jesus has ALREADY Reconciled Us and the World unto God.

    Sin entered the world through Adam. That does not mean that Adam's sin entered the people of the world. Death, spiritual death, entered by Adam's sin. And death, spiritual death, passed upon all men, not because Adam sinned, but rather, because all men sinned. God does not hold anyone...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    Gal 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. That verse does not say anything about a "Living Faith". It does not say...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    Give us the book, chapter and verse about that "Living faith"? Then perhaps we might know what you are talking about. But, of course, the problem that you will have is that it is not there. It is only in your mind.

    How Jesus has ALREADY Reconciled Us and the World unto God.

    One, such as a new born child, who has not sinned does not need to be saved. He is a child of God when born. He has a pure and alive spirit formed in him by God. Only when he sins, does he become lost and then needs to be saved.

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    You haven't posted any such scripture. And I didn't dismiss it. It is not there. You have a hard time understanding even what faith is.

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    No you have not posted any such scripture, because there is no such scripture.

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    Atone or atonement occurs over 50 times in the OT, depending upon which English version is used. In some of those instances it is dealing with sin. But not in all instances. In some cases it was for cleansing the unclean. For example, Exo 29:37 "For seven days you shall make atonement for...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    No, faith is not a gift from God. Ephesians 2:8 does not say that faith is the gift. Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Greek grammar will not permit that interpretation. Both charis, i.e. grace and pistis, i.e...

    How Jesus has ALREADY Reconciled Us and the World unto God.

    This entire discussion is clouded by the false doctrine of Original Sin and the even worse doctrine of Total Depravity. We come into this world entirely free from sin. To say that we come into this world saved is true but perhaps not the best description. We are born into this world with a...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    I think you are misinterpreting or misusing the word or term "iniquity". It basically means perversity, evil, lawlessness. It do not believe that unbelief fits into that. Jesus died to save the believer from his sins. Unbelief is not a sin of a believer, by definition. It is an...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    Faith is not a gift. Salvation is a gift to those with faith I think that is not a very good interpretation of that verse. That passage begins in verse 1 with the address, "Behold my Servant". It seems to me that passage, Isaiah 42:1-9, is being addressed to one, anyone, who acknowledges...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    How about quoting even one post from me that demands that water is a part of my salvation? How about until you do, you refrain from posting anything here?

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    I have never said, nor do I believe, that water washes away sins. Have you ever seen me write that? No you haven't. You are nothing more than a sniveling anti-Catholic. But I am not a Catholic. However, I would like your rendition of what Paul meant when in describing his conversion said...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    Is that a universal truth? Or do you hold to some sort of Calvinistic beliefs about which unbelievers are redeemed? Actually I think you are just a little tainted in you thought processes.

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    I am not Catholic. I don't even believe in baptismal regeneration. I don't normally read from the Douay Rheims Version of the Bible. That is just three of the many things that you have wrong. Talk about being deceived. You are a prime suspect in that.

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    How is one redeemed from unbelief? You think somehow that God providentially forced some to believe? How ridiculous can you get?

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    So your Bible says, Mar 1:4 John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance NOT for the forgiveness of sins. Luk 3:3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance NOT for the forgiveness of sins. I am curious. Where...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    What "cult of Mary"? I have no idea of even what you are talking about. And I am convinced you certainly do not.

    And just where did you get that bit of garbage? Chapter and verse please.
