Nobody is condemned for their personal sins. All sins have been paid for, including the unbelievers'. See 2 Pt 2:1 False Teachers and Their Destruction 1 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce...

Ronald, sorry but I don't reply to Reformed students. I thank you for taking the time to respond. God Bless

You said: Correct. My position is that which applies to me and defended by scripture itself. Same here. Heb 8.13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

You didn't defend your position, you just asserted it. So I really don't have much to say. The Mosaic Law became obsolete after Christ's earthly ministry, so, no, I am not under the Mosaic Law, nor was the Apostle Paul. Do you argue that Rom 7: Read my post that claims otherwise. See #91 above.

Paul sinned after becoming an Apostle. See Rom 7 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18...

No one is eternally condemned until they die without believing in Christ. They can always accept Christ while they are alive.

I agree with most of what you said but I don't think these verses are referencing salvation, but fellowship. I don't take these to mean being indwelt by the Spirit. That is something one has by virtue of being saved. The indwelling is permanent. These verses are talking about fellowship, which...

Jesus is drawing in 32 The Father is drawing in 44.

It doesn't work for a system that teaches sinless perfection in this life. You are correct in saying that it should not be possible to sin in Christ and we can't, that is what 1 John 3.6, 9 say about Positional Truth. Some external influence draws/drags us out of fellowship as we are lured away...

When we sin, we are no longer in fellowship. This principle is taught throughout the NT. For example, see the Lord's words in GJohn 15.4, 5, which reads: 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless...

You chose to state your position rather than defend it. Since you are not defending a position, I have nothing to respond to. But I did want to bring something to your attention. In GJohn 6.44, God draws people to Christ, but look at what John also says. "And I, when I am lifted up from the...

The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is a specific sin, the Jewish sin of rejecting Jesus as Messiah and his attendant miracles that pointed to the Kingdom of God. We are rejecting the convicting ministry of the Spirit who is confirming that Jesus is the world's Savior. GJohn 16.8-11. There is no...

ALL Israel I think only refers to those Jews who are alive at the end of the Trib. I guess we are talking about the word ALL and what does that include. But I don't take it to mean all Israel from the time of Abraham to the second coming.

The Holy Spirit's job in this instance is to convince the Nation of Israel that their Messiah was performing prophesied miracles and its fulfillment awaited their acceptance of the Kingdom of God. The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit was specifically targeted on the Nation of Israel and the first...

I think "ALL" Israel is a reference to the nation of Israel at the end of the trib where they have cried out, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord... There is only a remnant left at the end of the Trib.. I think ALL refers to all Jews then alive at the time of the Second Coming. Any...

St. SteVen, I like this article showing the nature of the unpardonable sin. Notice at the bottom 3 resources who also address the position that the Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit could only be fulfilled by first century Jews for rejecting their Messiah. This supports Fruchtenbaum's position and...

I wont forget, I promise.

I would research the definition on pro-ginosko, because God's Omniscience means he sees what is going to happen in the future. God's awareness of the future and man's choices are a necessary attribute of God. God's pre-planning is based on all data that God has, such as future events. God does...

I will have to find my notes of this, but let me say a few things now. The Gospel of Matthew's purpose was to demonstrate that Jesus was the Messiah and had the right to rule. Jesus only allowed the message to be presented to the Jews, not Gentiles. The Kingdom of God is never explained to the...

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit can only be committed by the nation of Israel who rejected Christ and attributed his miracles to Satan, it is not committed by an individual. The Blasphemy is the sin of Israel's rejecting Christ as King of the Jews. The unpardonable sin can not be committed now...
