So you keep saying but you cannot change what the Bible states and what historically it has meant from the beginning. All you have is an errant understanding that has no basis in scripture. Problaby most, if not all , just your opinion. I'm interested in knowing how Calvin treats the...

Since you have no knowledge of historical Christianity I will help you with some quotes from St Athanasius' book "On the Incarnation" (lived 296 - 373 AD) "We will begin, then, with the creation of the world and with God its Maker, for the first fact that you must grasp is this: the renewal of...

One incorrect statement and one correct statement. The world means world, the physical world and everything in it. Col 1:20, Your second statement you finally got correct. not imputing, means to overlook, or not charge their sins to them. You are making progress, alleluia.

your saying Christ ONLY reconciled believers, which is your false limited atonement theory. One does not need to go any further to know your whole explanation is not scriptural. The concept is a direct denial of the Incarnation, so how could it be scriptural.

You have not posted anything that even comes close to the truth. You post your opinion on a text but it never aligns with scripture. Being a Calvinist I would think you might quote something from Calvin on these verses, not that he might have it correct, but at least you would have some...

I understand what you say. That is why I know so clearly that it is not scriptural. What you don't understand is there are two distinct reconciliations occurring. The first is God in Christ was reconciling the world to Himself. Christ is the one doing the reconciling. What was He reconciling...

Another gross misunderstanding of a text. God did not take any sins away. He did not charge them for their sins. In other words, He overlooked their sins.

Whatever it is you think you explained, it cannot be found in scripture. The explanation I gave to you, and have been giving to you has been the belief of Christians from the very beginning. As I stated you have no understanding of the Incarnation. On that basis you will get everything else...

You may try to impress with your great grammer knowledge but it seems you need to twist everything to fit your view, rather than what scripture is saying. The passive subject here is God. Paul is speaking about being ambassadors for Christ since we now are reconciled by Christ to God. He is...

First, Christ is not our Head. In His Incarnation Christ became man. He is us, every human being because we all possess the very same nature. Christ is not some abstract entity simply representing man, or in your case only some men. This statement is a direct denial of the Incarnation of...

Philippians 2:12-16.

A sacrifice does not forgive sins. Very simple to understand. Christ forgives sin but ONLY when one confesses their sin. That os why we have a High Priest in the heavens. If what you say was actually correct then all the sins of the world are forgiven and no one will go to hell. Your...

But you are in error regarding the Eastern/Greek, Orthodox Church. The Catholic Church declared it heresy by the Fifth Ecumenical Council 553.

Christ accomplished two very specific work from the Cross by His death and resurrection. He defeated death for the world. Gave life to the world. This is an objective work. It is imposed on every human being and the world. It is accomplished in the last day, when all men will rise from the...

I don't discount how you understand what you call salvation. It is your view. For me none of the above is a valid scriptural situation. Using the phrase having been saved or are saved never appears in scripture relative to one's faith walk with the Holy Spirit. Historically the view does not...

Precisely.

Based on the Cross of Christ, Christ saved the entire world and mankind from the power of death and sin. Christ did not save a single individual personally from the Cross. His cross work made it possible for God to have union with man as he was meant to be. That union is solely based on each...

The ONLY example in the Sower parable is the first. The seed did not take root. The other three all speak of believers.

I don't need to search. I know that there is no guarnatee of salvation in one's lifetime. Your explanation of Matt 24:40-51 contradicts what the verse says, This is a servant of the Master who is faithful, BUT becomes unfaithful. He does not repent, thus will be cast with the unbelievers. If...

It is much stronger than "not strong:. It does not exist. The issue here and for those who support a view of "not losing salvation" is that the concept does not exist in scripture. We have assurance that we are on the right track, but no guarantees. It is all about faith. How faithful one...
