How is it that you believe Christ accomplished God's will through the atonement, yet you limit His work only for believers. As I stated, Paul clearly says to those who hold your view of a limited atonement, it is all in vain, UNLESS CHRIST IS RISEN AND THE DEAD ARE RISEN. Theologically, you...

More bland statements that do not address the issue. Why do you change the meaning of ALL MEN, OR THE WORLD, to only meaning some? You will not find a text in scripture that states Christ cancelled ones sins by His atonement. His atonement makes forgiveness possible. Unless one confesses his...

Why do you feel the need to insert (forgave us all our sins.). If is does then you also believe Christ was a sinner, since it states we were raised with Christ. This "life" is referring to Christ's resurrection by which He overcame death and why all men will be raised in the last day because...

I don't disagree with most of what you state, however you don't even mention the primary purpose of His Atonement. You cite I Cor 15:17 but you fail to include that Christ died for all men, If the dead are not raised then Christ is not risen and if Christ is not risen then our faith is in vain...

thanks for the texts that support what scripture actually says. Christ died for all men. because all men were dead. I John 2:2, Heb 2:9, I Cor 15:53, all those dead will be raised incorruptible and immortal. Now, those that live should live unto God. In other words, He desires that all men...

I don't know how this supports your view either. What is state is a text, but no place does it say hat the Holy Spirit forces man to do anything. This is why it is such an apostasy when a believer rejects the working of the Holy Spirit. Your view does not allow man to reject the Holy Spirit...

Let's assume you are correct? My question is who goes to hell? Your statement just made every single Jew and Gentile saved and going to heaven because God granted repentance to both in the text. Maybe I should ask what is your definition of Jew and Gentile? Clearly you cherry pick vs that...

Yes, I agree Jesus chose his disciples. The whole context is very narrow. NEVER does it say, imply that persons were selected to salvation. It is your explanation of this context that is a theory. The verses are explaining the reason God redeemed the world. Not just to overcome the fall, but...

Yes you did, As well as you cannot address the texts. Now we know.

So, you have no response. This response shows you cannot refute the scripture cited. If you are correct why can you not produce the evidence that I am incorrect? Respond to the texts given. Show that I am incorrect.

Here is another negative statement showing that you really don't know what you are saying. "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you" (Matthew 6:31-33)." You are being directed to SEEK his kingdom and His righteousness. Why would God direct...

Quite the opposite. In denying the resurrection of the dead through Christ's redemptive work makes your faith in vain, because man will never be raised from the dead. There will be no judgement, There cannot even be a new heaven and earth which happens because He reconciled the world to God...

Never said you did, You simply misapplied the application. Christ's work does impute Christ's righteousness to mankind. You fail to engage with the texts I supplied because, either you do not understand them or you do, but they deny what your theory needs them to say. Christ was in this...

Christ's work was not subjective, meaning it had to do with believers. It had all to do with Christ reconciling, redeeming, justifying the WORLD TO GOD. Col 1:20, Rom 5:8, Rom 5:18-19, II Cor 5:18-19, I Cor 15:20-22, II Tim 1:10, Heb 2:14-15, Heb 2:9, I John 2:2. II Cor 5:14-15. The verse very...

He makes it possible for man to seek forgiveness. He made the sacrifice for sin for the world. So that all men could seek Him, find Him and believe, repent, and have their sins forgiveen. Correct. To maintain your faith you must continually seek forgiveness of sin. I'm assuming you believe you...

You have the definitions correct, but your application of them is incorrect. You seem to dwell on this word "IMPUTE" Christ does impute His Righteousness to mankind. To make it simple for many who might not follow your definitions. Righteous, reconcile, justify, redeem all have the same...

So you agree with Behold, but fail to answer the issue. The parable does not even address what I was discussing with Behold. It seems apparent that you don't understand ones relationship with God, as well as just what faith entails. Belief ALONE is worthless. James 2:19-26. If you claim faith...

In both instances FOR THE WORLD. Specific believers are not referenced except in the context of believing. Christ reconciled the world to Himself, so that He could call all men to repentance. Yes, it was a gift to mankind. It was also "salvation" but not individual spiritual salvation as you...

Only if one confesses ones sins and repents. No other way. God does not arbitrarily forgive anyone's sins. The claim you making does not exist in scripture. What Christ did by His assuming our human nature and dying and rising from the dead was to reconcile the world to God. Col 1:20, Rom 5:8...

So, you expound on your theory but you cannot even give a definition of righteousness, or righteous. Simply amazing, actually quite stunning. How about engaging instead of your theorizing.
