How about asking a question that makes sense? They were given the chance during thier lives. What do you not understand about this? God isn't locked in time. His sacrifice isn't limited to future generations, as I already have shown through scripture. If Abraham and Abel and many others were...

How so? Jesus made Atonement for everyone, no exceptions. You can not claim salvation was offered to people whose sins he didn't die for. That makes no sense whatsoever.

Now you sound like a Calvinist.

Sorry, I believe as I always have, that one can choose to become apostate. That isn't heresy, it's historical Christianity.

They were given that chance while alive. Otherwise they would have just been disposable people created so God could kill them. This is proven by how God spoke to Cain: …5but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell. 6“Why are you angry,”...

You know full well I'm not saying people don't physically die. Can you for once just speak to the issue instead of going in another direction? As a man Jesus could physically die. His soul and spirit is forever, no beginning or end.

Jesus himself is the narrow Rd and gate. It's not any one church.

Are you one of those " soul sleep" promoter's? To die physically doesn't cancel out the life of our souls for an instant. Every one is alive somewhere.

Of course he did! What don't you understand about that? How can anyone refuse what they were never offered? He did it so they would have the same opportunity for redemption as everyone who ever lived. In your scenario, they could not have refused God, because they never knew he desired thier...

Yes, because all those gun control laws they have are working so well already! Everyone knows that if you make possessing firearms illegal, all the criminals will destroy their firearms! And I'm sure if we do away with the police force, the gangs and thugs will police themselves and quit doing...

Ah, how you would limit God! It's sad, really. How was Abraham saved again? Romans 4 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. 3 What...

Chicago sees its deadliest day in 60 years with 18 murders in 24 hours: report So much for Chicago getting safer.

Define police murder. Was it ok when " protester's" murdered police? Shooting in self defense or in defense of a fellow officer or citizen in grave danger isn't murder. How about you walk a mile or two in the shoes of the police before you judge them? How about you apply your forgiveness to our...

Wow, you are extremely prejudiced against our police officers. No policeman gets up in the morning planning to whack a black guy for fun. Yes, if they fear for thier lives, they must be able to protect themselves, that's just common sense. Why is anyone having an " encounter" with the police if...

I would like to see some proof on that. Just this last weekend criminals shot 35 people in Chicago, 5 fatally. And most police shootings are justified. The gangs just kill whoever they want for whatever reason. Good thing they are lousy shots I guess.

I don't see why it matters that it's gang-related? Black on black murders in Chigaco in one weekend is more than the cops ever kill in a year. Is anyone protesting that?

Then I guess no one has actually been atoned for? Yeah, if you just go ahead and ignore all the times that Christ's death is said to be for "all" you can pretend it isn't for Adam and all of minkind...but why would anyone do that?

Of course. Isaiah 53:5-6 But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has...

In Christianity, atonement refers to the needed reconciliation between sinful mankind and the holy God. All my questions have been the same. If I ask how to access the atonement, it's the same question.

Which doesn't answer my question. How does one get from recognizing that the atonement is for them to being justified?
