If the believing Jews weren't saved under the gospel of grace, what gospel were they saved under? Will you expound to me this other gospel? Because I was circumcised on the eight day; and therefore your theology tells me that I may not be able to take advantage of the gospel of grace. So...

The book of Philippians was written only to the saints at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons. And therefore, He who began a good work in you will NOT be faithful to complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; because that promise does not apply to you.

To these two statements, I respond: I suggest that you take the time to read the scriptures that I have quoted above; because I think that you are ignoring them in the formulation of your theology. . . . I have answered this before. Yes, I believe that He did so indirectly, in that He...

The offering appeased the wrath and justice of God against our sins. But God the Father was not holding us as a ransom. That was the devil doing that. The devil wanted the blood of Jesus...and he got it. The blood of Jesus has a different effect on him than it does for us. For us, it brings...

@Enoch111, the following is written to you and to me for the most part: Jhn 15:20, Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. To @amadeus

@GodsGrace: So, do you just simply ignore the scriptures in question? How do you form your theology if you ignore specific scriptures in the Bible? Is it smorgasborg theology that attracts you? re #339 (Smoke Screens?)

Scripture?

It is faithful doctrine based in 1 Timothy 2:6. Jesus gave His life as a ransom for many.

I'm not going to go into it with any of these Calvinists (although if I did, I would very likely come out victorious theologically); lest I get blasted by one or all of them (again). It is not worth the fight. They can have their area to preach in. People are smart enough to know that when...

Again, Jesus laid down His life as a ransom payment to redeem many, 1 Timothy 2:6. As such, He laid it down of His own accord; however it was in accordance with an agreement. The devil took Jesus' life in exchange for the lives of all those he held captivated by sin.

I'm not sure what statement you are referring to.

Not unless you live in a hotel in San Pedro.

Please tell me what my wrong is in this matter. Spelling the word "and" wrong? (corrected that, btw). Which one of us is the "bad sinner" and which one of is the "good sinner" here? I count myself to be the chief of sinners; in that my flesh is utterly sinful from my perspective: although...

You and me before we accept(ed) Christ.

If someone was completely possessed when they committed the crime; but later the demon was cast out of them and they subsequently became born again of the Holy Spirit: and exhibited the love of the Spirit so that their conversion could not be questioned: I believe that such a person could be...

In Philippians 1:1, it says that Paul was writing specifically to the saints who were at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons. We are not specifically in that people group. Does that mean that such verses as Philippians 1:6 do not apply to us? I know that that verse has encouraged me in...

Since as a Calvinist, you have the tendency not to believe in the concept of free will, I suppose I don't have an answer for you. But if you would consider the idea that the Lord gave free will to all (which is a good thing), but that this good thing worked itself out so that evil developed out...

As I said, the OP is false doctrine; and therefore I am certainly not scorning the truth or trampling pearls underfoot. But it appears that you are looking for a fight which I guarantee that you will not win.

If your focus is on Christ and you are not being religious about, the fact that you are involved in a ritual is not going to condemn you. If you think that there is something in the ritual that gets you closer to the Lord, then Houston, we have a problem. Our access to the Father is through...

If you are unkind to others, they will never receive the message of the gospel, and thus eternal life, coming from you. Therefore it is important to be kind to others, see Philemon 1:6. Please show that again; I didn't see it: and I also hold to the position that all of scripture is inspired...
