If it was from scripture it would have been taught for 2000 years already. Obviously, every false teaching is also based on scripture, but most, if almost all come long after the Patristic era of the NT. I didn't find any such teachings in the first 1500 years of the existence of scripture. So...

I can understand someone reading scripture and arriving at a particular view and later finding that the meaning was different than he thought. You seem to be trying to promote a view that is quite modern and new. In just a cursory check I cannot find any such teachings of scripture anywhere...

Ah, but scripture says that the world was reconciled to God which means that both man and the world are no longer under the permanent curse of death by Adam. Now we know that all men will be raised. We also know that there will be a new heaven and a new earth. Christ gave life to the world...

I disagree with one phrase. Your question, did He pay the full penalty for the sins of the whole world? your answer, absolutely. That would not make sense if you later say that unbelievers would be condemned. You just stated that the penalty was paid for the world, which includes these...

You are incorrect in both cases. OT the sins of the people were placed upon the sacrifice, thus forgiveness. Christ covered, propitiated the sins of the world, He did not purge or take away any sins. That would be a carte blanche forgiveness of every single sin of every single human being from...

You are correct the cross was the propitiation for the sin of the world. That is one part of Christ' work by His death and resurrection. The whole is the atonement Christ made to God. Christ put man and the world right with God. Other words that say the same thing is reconciliation of the world...

You will be hard pressed to show any scripture that states Christ removed sin from the Cross. He performed a sacrifice for sin. Sin is forgiven/removed on a singular basis. When one confesses their sins they are removed/forgotten because Christ as our High Priest can and will forgive them...

What is so sad is that your theology does not even provide for a hell.

What it actually means Is I believe what scripture says and what it has meant for 2000 years. What I don't believe is the theory of Calvin which has no root, theologically in scripture. That is what I do not believe.

This is why you have such a horrific understanding of scripture. You take bits and pieces of scripture to create a narrative that becomes external to scripture, meaningless and irrelevant. John 17 is Christ pastoral prayer. Vs 1-5 He is praying for Himself. vs 6-19 He is praying for His...

You clearly do not understand the theology of scripture relative to atonement. Lets leave Christ out of the picture for a moment. Adam sinned and His condemnation was death, physical death, dust to dust. Also, it estranged him from God relative to his relationship. Man was created to be...

The very verse you cite tells you He did not save anyone from the penalty of sin. Man chooses whether he will suffer the penalty of sin. Those that believe will not be condemned, those that believe not will be condemned. Here is where you err. All men have been saved from the power of sin...

You are confusing penalty with power. Christ did not remove the penalty of sin. Sin, unbelief which are acts of man and if not forgiven will lead to eternal separation from God. Quite the contrary. Without Christ no one would be saved. We would all be dissolved by permanent death, no...

Man determines by his choice whether he will suffer the second death. Christ does not determine the eternal abode of anyone.

Actually, He died for every human being and His resurrection gave life to all men. He also saved every single human being from the power of sin. How universal is that. He saved every human being from death and the power of sin. You have a twisted concept of who Christ actually is and what He...

Propitiation means a covering of sin. Atonement is what Christ did on the Cross with that sacrifice which was to reconcile the world back to God. Col 1:20. II Cor 5:19, I John 2:2. There was no removal of sin on/from the Cross or even by His resurrection. The sacrifice was necessary for...

t They were not inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gave us a complete Gospel, Jude 3 once in the beginning. The Holy Spirit does not give additional gospel to individual men over time. II Pet 1:20. That Gospel was preserved by the Holy Spirit within the Body of Christ, the Church...

Yes, He certainly has. So, why do you not acknowledge this and throw out the false teaching of Limited Atonement?

I have never made that claim. The Holy Spirit promised to preserve the Gospel He gave ONCE, completely. That has been born out in history within the Church Christ founded at Pentecost.

Only asserted, not proven as being scriptural. You might have a good grasp of Calvinism though.
