    No; I just didn't want the disadvantage of being the first one to speak. Pro 18:17, He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. But evidently that did not happen in this case, since I was indeed the first to speak and there was no searching out...

    Are You Saved Because You Believe OR Do You Believe Because You Are Saved?

    Romans 5:2 would indicate that faith comes before grace; since we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand. The Issue of Calvinism. Now living in your mansion represents being a recipient of grace in the following: Even in Calvinism a man is born dead in trespasses and sins...

    I reserve the right to correct your doctrine as though you had been the first one to speak.

    2 Peter 3:9 says that the Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. The apostles used great plainness of speech (2 Corinthians 3:12 (kjv)), so this ought to be interpreted as though I were saying it to you (which I am, in those very words).

    I would say however that Romans 5:8 tells us that God loved us while we were still sinners.

    It's not that important to me. You first, or not at all.

    They were still created by God. A gingerbread man was created by a baker, but the gingerbread man ran away and was captured by the baker's competitor. The baker then bought the gingerbread man from the competitor's store. He said, "Now you are twice mine....first I created you..and now I've...

    These verses show the extent of the ungodliness that is being punished. If it were not that the ungodliness of sinners were irreparably harmful to the state of things, the love of God would excuse it because He does not want to execute wrath on the ungodly, except that His justice requires it...

    The Lord loves the ones to whom He shows wrath. He commends His love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. His wrath is against ungodliness and unrighteousness; this does not mean that the Lord doesn't love all those whom He created. His wrath is an outworking of...

    All men are God's children in that all are created by Him. However, only those who believe in Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit.

    That is your interpretation. The truth of the matter is that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Really, you should interpret the verse as though I were saying it to you from my own mouth. The apostles used great plainness of speech.

    I would say, as you did, that: The scripture that I would give is a holy look at Romans 1 (which speaks of the light of creation), Romans 2 (which speaks of the light of conscience) and Romans 3 (which reveals the light of Christ and the message of the gospel).
