No, you said it is either that they are declared innocent, or that they had the debt paid in full... with is a false analogy. If before a judge, a person is found and judged guilty, they are either pardoned or they are punished; not both. Why strain so hard to include payment when the Bible...

No, I'm saying that a hunting hound that only runs after its own tail instead of the fox, is about as profitable to follow as the person who can only argue in their own personal circle.

A complete fail; Matthew 7 does not say that God does not will the salvation of all, or that He limits His Atonement to just a few. You can have your vivid imagination invent it, but you cannot find it in Scripture.

It is a great verse, yet looking at what it was in response to, I do not like what you are inferring: In what way does an adult "receive the kingdom of God as a little child?" What was Jesus saying? Jesus in no way was saying that "little children" were sin-free or fit for heaven by some merit...

Can anyone deny that God wills the salvation of all? Strangely.... yes!

If you believe and teach Fatalism... you are a Fatalist. If you believe and teach a Limited Atonement, historically you align as being a Calvinist (in this particular instance). Nancy Pelosi claims to be a good Roman Catholic... but she supports infanticide through abortion, stealing from...

I will not waste my time to dignify this with an answer. It would be researching and writing all known history of the first three centuries, which would be writing a book to defeat Roman Catholic propaganda. I would no more go through countless hours to compile such evidence, than I would spend...

You say that I am being "narrow" when I present all those passages that say that Jesus is the "propitiation for our sins: and not for our sins only, but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 Jn. 2:2. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in...

And I claimed that the existential religion that has only existed from the days of Constantine is not the same thing as the "Catholic Church" (meaning the "Church Universal") as founded by Christ in the Early Apostolic Church.

In Scripture, it is a fact that whenever final salvation is spoken of, it is on the condition of a present tense faith. But the Bible also speaks of coming to faith/belief, as an act in the moment. I would describe it this way... When someone "gets saved" they step from darkness to light. This...

Your argument is not with me, it's with Jesus. I believe Him and what He said! I am not going to use human philosophy to say that He is wrong and must be corrected!

Re-writing history does not make it true! The Roman Catholic Church goes back to Constantine, not the Apostles! You have no more legitimate claim to Apostolic Succession than a Mormonism has for Restoring the Gospel.

Two verses earlier Jesus conditioned everlasting life on a present tense, a here and now, faith.(47). Again, in verse 54, Jesus elaborates and says that this is conditional... "Whoso eateth (present tense.... right now) my flesh, and drinketh (present active participle), my blood, hath...

While a Fatalist will emphasize that Jesus died "for" the sheep, a Biblical Christian does not deny that fact; they also believe that Jesus died for the whole world also. Jesus died for all, not just some small sliver of Predestined "elect." "And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for...

The Bible teaches assurance, conditioned on a present tense faith in Christ (v. 40). Jesus, nor the Bible teaches an irrevocable, unconditional OSAS or Eternal Security. That's what Jesus said, and I believe it!

Nothing in John 6 speaks of Eternal Security or OSAS. (Neither are in the Bible.)

It misses the point that the Church is the Body of Believers, not any particular Organization or denomination. You are correct, the Church of Rome only "claims" to be the "Catholic Church." To say "The Roman Catholic Church" is accurate. This is like me saying that no matter what I say or...

There is no evidence that God chose every individual to be in heaven or hell. Predestination 101 I agree with A.M Hills~ John Calvin wrote: "For since God foresees future events only in consequence of His decree that they shall happen, it is useless to contend about foreknowledge, while it is...

Do you consider yourself foreknown by God? I'm not Renniks, but I will answer my view. My "considering" or "believing" does not make anything to be a reality. The Church, the Body, the Bride of Christ is foreknown. When Jesus returns, he is coming for His Bride, not Bride(s) (plural). The...

Knowledge is merely knowledge... not causation.
