    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    What don't I get? If you think I don't get it, why can't you explain it so that anyone can understand it? Why can't you give reasoned rebuttal to the texts I cited. After all, they are in the Bible, at least the Bible I have. You make it seem as if your Bible is void of the texts I cited.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    You finally got something correct. The reconciliation of Col `1:20 is salvation. You still have not explained just what is being reconciled. The text says world, you keep saying believers. What dictionary do you have that says this? Rom 10:15 has nothing to do with Col 1:20. This is why your...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    You use a text, use the word reconcile, give the definitions but cannot state what was out of balance or at variance. Not surprised you have such a difficult time with your assertions. You don't even understand them. In the analogy what is at variance is money. In your citations it is life. Rom...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    You cite the several meanings of reconcile. Great. But do you know what was reconciled. Ill give you an analogy: when we check our checkbook with the bank statement, we are reconciling the two things. Make them right with each other, End any variance if there was one. My question to you...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    If you mean that you wrote a comment like the one above, so it has been. However, that means nothing when in reality you have not. Your comment is neither a discussion, nor an answer to my questions. To write the comments you do, not addressed to anyone and then unable to defend them make...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    That' the problem. You didn't address them before and now again you cannot address them My only assumption has to be that you do not understand the Incarnation or don't believe Christ was Incarnated. As well as you don't understand the fall of man. All your comments to this point do not...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    How does this comment address Rom 5:6? How does it address Rom 5:18? How does it address I Cor 15:21-22? How does it explain your understanding of the incarnation? How is your view of salvation related to the fall of man?

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Hardly. You make assertions on texts that you take out of context. Give your view on Rom 5:6. The context you have never addressed. You simply dismiss the context. At best you can argue that Calvin believed the same. I have my doubts that Calvin even used the same explanation you do for the...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    But you have no argument against what I stated. If you cannot defend it or refute my comments with scripture then it means nothing. You post gibberish comments using isolated texts, but no substantiation.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    You keep using Rom 5:10 as an isolated texts, you grab it out of context to force your view upon it. Go back to vs 6 where it states that Christ died for the UNGODLY. If your theory holds true then the ONLY people that were ungodly were those you call believers. All others o mankind were...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    It appears I am the ONLY one that does see. I will continue to point out the errors of your interpretation so others can see not only the contrast but the Truth of scripture.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    You have never used the word, Harmony, before. Scripture does not use it, so in your theology what does it actually mean? I understand scripture, but I don't understand how you arrive at your explanations based on scripture. It seems you are actually unable to discuss any point of theology...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Do you actually know what that harmony might be? Explain this harmony between Adam and Christ?

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    So, you are either ignorant or have no ability to actually put forth a cogent discusssion. You apparently have not idea what the Incarnation means. Actually, you never stated that you even believe Christ was Incarnated. Now, you cannot even show how it might fit within your own theological...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Christ died for the world. Until you can show that Christ did not die, reconcile, justify all things, made all things right, you are teaching a falsehood. It might be helpful if you actually define how you understand the Incarnation. How does it fit within your theological view? You need to...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Even if your interpretation of scripture was correct that the word WORLD, means believers, it would not make sense either. You triple down on your nonsensical explanation. If God in fact reconciled those you believe were predestinated to believe, what is the purpose of the reconciliation...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    then show me based on what I have stated. I have asked you several questions, but you have not answered. Is it because you don't understand your own view. You might be espousing someone else's view, not knowing what their view actually means. Go back to my last several posts and find the...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Where is your evidence. You claim Calvin and Gill are your masters. It is called Calvinism for a reason. If it was the Truth it would not claim to be Calvinism.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    I want to know how you can get the word believer out of the word, WORLD. My dictionary, does not give a definition of believer for the word world. So I checked a Biblical dictionary. They don't either. So, where do you get your definition of world from? Col 1:20 is even more particular, It...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    I understand the Truth. I even understand the truth you are purveying but you have very little understanding of what scripture means. Give me some evidence that what you believe was actually believed from the beginning. I'm not sure you even have an understanding of Calvinism as He portrayed...
