Once again you have not addressed your assertion. You say you will stick with Christ, but your theory only shows you either stick with some other men or just yourself. I don't believe the Holy Spirit is fickle, confused, and gives multiple gospels. He gave it once to the Apostles and the...

The Christian life is possible because of His Atonement.

Which shows that man's will is not bond in any shape or form, it is a classic view of the freedom of man's will. Man's will has always been independent of God's will. The Church dealt with the heresy of Christ's two natures (One Person) in three Councils. 1st Council of Constantinople 381...

You keep repeating your theory. All I can see is Calvinism. Which is a man made theory who had no understanding of God's sovereignty, foreknowledge and how they are scripturally understood. You say you are following Christ's words, yet you cannot show any evidence that it is apostolic...

You will find nothing in scripture, without overriding it with Calvinism, that will make that assertion. As far as I have read his treatises, he has only one and that deals with the unscriptural view that man's will in bound. The only view that fits is Calvinism. From Orthodox, Syrian...

I assumed that you would not be able to confirm your assertion. You have proved, at least to this point, that you cannot support your assertion that all Christians for 2000 years believed that Christians have a bound will. The rest of this post is not pertinent to that assertion.

All these texts are addressing the Christian life. None of them deal with your own topic of this thread, the Atonement.

That is a true statement in spite of yourself. The problem with your understanding is that Christ died for the world, for mankind. He reconciled the world to God. He saved mankind from death and sin. Your view of a limited atonement denies one of the basic tenets of Christianity, namely the...

That is Calvinism, not scripture.

Your thread does not address the question nor the texts. Obviously you cannot reply. You don't understand Christ's redemptive work as described in scripture.

We all know that you believe Calvinism. It is not scriptural. Calvin totally misunderstood predestination and foreknowledge, None of his other 5 points have any root in scripture. They are either his own theories and misunderstandings of context to fit those theories. As you have aptly...

You have never engaged, that is the point. If you don't understand what someone posts, even though it is a text of scripture you dismiss it entirely. You dismiss it because you have no answer for the texts. They refute your assertions which are nothing more than disjointed and unrelated texts...

Obviously you cannot show your view as actually apostolic. You twist scripture, mostly out of context and even Church Fathers to the contrary. Since you made your assertion that all Christians over the last 2000 years held the view of what you all a "bonded will" show any historical statement...

Why not engage and show from scripture that scripture is wrong. Two very simple texts, I John 2:2 and Heb 2:9, Give us your view on these two texts. Why does it not say and mean what they say? Your assertion proves nothing.

As is the problem with all sola scripturists, they cannot support their view, personal opinions with scripture. Everyone is using scripture alone and there are thousands of interpretations. Everyone knows that the view you are trying to claim is in scripture actually is a man-made theory...

So you keep saying, but can never support it with scripture. they are worthless and meaningless assertions. Here is what scripture says Christ did, I John 2:2 and Heb 2:9. That is a summary of the atonement.

One again a very excellent explanation of what scripture means. It seems to me that some have a very limited Bible because they cannot get out of the few verses they simply repeat for every challenge they have and almost always out of context. In this case Paul even uses the phrase, "works of...

A very good point. Also, added to that, being justified by faith does not save anyone. It gets one through the door. Justify means to make right. By believing/faith we make ourselves right with God. We are being saved THROUGH that faith. It is all works. works of faith. Peter makes that very...

Once again, very good. Some men just need to build a theory that makes God culpable and man has no liability or consequences for his actions, good or evil. It's one of those warm fuzzy feelings some men get to justify their actions and blame God.

You've shown your understanding of scripture is very limited. You have some ulterior theory you seem to impose over scripture. Why not do a little better study of scripture and what was believed from the beginning.
