No, you just think you have. There's a multitude of passages that confirm that the atonement is freely offered to all.

You're still not getting it. Just because I address a letter to certain people doesn't mean that when I talk about everyone in the letter I actually mean just the people who read it.

Lol, ok then tell me I'm hateful and then tell me to act like a believer. Good grief. " in the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent." Acts 17:31

Now you are just making stuff up. Jeremiah 1:5 God has plans for everyone of those unborn kids.

No, he says he is patient with us. You seem to think "us" has to mean just the people in the crowd who are irresistibly elected to salvation, even though there's nothing about that in the passage. You are adding to scripture.

Not according to Calvin. He believed some people are enlightened by God for a time, maybe most of their lives and then God just drops em one day because they weren't really elect. "Experience shows that the reprobate are sometimes affected in a way so similar to the elect that even in their own...

They are Peter's friends. But this is what he says: 8" But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you...

The verse I quoted says God knit our inmost being together while we were still in the womb. What do you think our inmost being is? Our soul! None of the verses you quoted say God only gives us a spirit after birth. And God gives us our days before we are born. To kill that child takes all the...

He's a baby, a living being, long before he is born. Do you not have children? Did you not feel the baby moving in his mother's womb and listen to his heartbeat before he was born? Pretending his is not a human is absurd. Abortion is killing a human being.

Your condescending tone is annoying but predictable. Where in 2 Peter 3 does it say that those addressed are the elect?

Psalm 139:13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together...

Thank you! Seems like a good one.

I've read the whole bible multiple times. The end of the chapter confirms that people can reject Christ even after being saved. "Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure...

So, which is it? The unredeemed heart is deceitful and wicked. If you are good, your heart can't still be wicked. God promised to give us a heart of flesh and take away our hard heart. If you think your heart is still wicked, you aren't believing that God's promise was true.

Man is free because God is sovereign. Talk about straw men. Where did I say God was ever taken by surprise?

Ok, so which is it? First, you say it's his decree, then you say he permits it. Those are two very different things. Fact is, everything under Calvinism happens by God's decree. Everything, and not because he foresees it, because according to your doctrine, he only foresees what he already...

No, then obviously we live in a world where God's will is not always done.

He asked for the verses, I posted the verses. If you want my exposition, I can do that.

Answer the question. If God's will is always done, everything that happens is his will, including all our sin. Yet what does scripture say? 1 Thessalonians 4:3 says his will is our sanctification, that we all abstain from sexual sin, and yet we live in a world where 70 percent of Christian men...

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all...
