I provided a link that responds to all your "what ifs", "what abouts" and "no other ways". If you will, take a moment and read it. May I ask why you're dodging post #9 and #11?

Why would I try to refute the Divinity of Christ (Jesus)? I believe all the scriptures that speak/declare that Jesus is God. What I don't find of necessity is believing in the trinitarian concept. I provided a link to the Oneness of God theology (a doctrine I believe to be more biblical than...

BF52's posts are all over christian forums, and have been for about 15 to 20 years or so, but under different aliases and pseudonyms. He's not really able to engage in a meaningful discussion about what he posts. I'm not sure what to make of it all :confused: :) He's posts are like drive by...

LOL...you've simply failed to believe what I presented and even what Jesus Himself said as recorded under direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit by not one, but two additional witnesses: Matthew and Mark. Mat 18:16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the...

Of course it does. God has concluded all in unbelief so that He will have mercy upon all: Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. Rom 11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Rom 11:31 Even so have...

Did you understand the response ?

There is an explanation. It's found in the Gen 2:7 creation account of man. Man (singular person) consists of three (plural) distinct elements: Body, soul and spirit (Gen 2:7 with 1Th 5:23). The singular person (man) was created in the image of God. That singular person (or compound if you...

Actually, we DO KNOW that Christ died for all: 2Co 5:14 for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died, 2Co 5:15 and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was...

Three witnesses would argue against the "Plural Persons" Genesis creation account. Here they are: 1. The LXX of Gen 1:27, found here: καὶ ἐποίησεν (3rd person singular) ὁ θεὸς (singular) τὸν ἄνθρωπον, κατ᾿ εἰκόνα θεοῦ (singular) ἐποίησεν (3rd person singular) αὐτόν, ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ ἐποίησεν...

It's speaking of all souls according to the spirit, not the flesh. All souls were created in Christ - Christ being the image of God (Gen 1:27 with 2Co 4:4 and Col 1:15-16) and for Christ (Col 1:16). All souls consist in Christ (Col 1:17). All souls live, move and have their being in Him (Act...

Yes, and all are/will be believers: Luk 12:2 But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known. 1Ti 2:4 who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. Php 2:10 that in the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of things...

A biblical/spiritual understanding of TULIP: T = Total depravity of the flesh (Job 30:23; Job 34:15; Rom 7:18; Rom 8:5-8) U = Unconditional election of Christ for all (Isa 42:1; Isa 44:1,3; Act 17:28; Col 1:16, Eph 1:10) L = Limited atonement for the spirit (Rom 5:10; Rom 5:18; 1Co 5:5; 1Ti...

Well, because the children (sons) of God will not be "the only survivors" in the age of judgment. Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God. Rom 8:20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who...

I'm actually interested in discussing this topic. However, before we do, it would help me to understand what you may or may not believe. First: Do you believe that all things were created in and for Christ (Col 1:16)? All things, not some things, but all things created in and for Christ...

Yes, that's how I understood it also. The original OP's objections pertained to the "Reformed/Calvinist" position of election, of which you asserted/suggested that the objections were against the "Reformed doctrine of election". Calvin's views on election are perhaps more widely known and...

Of course. It's a description of how God has loved all/us in Christ. It's wonderful too.

Who's idea within reformed theology would that be? For example: Calvin, Luther, Barth and Schleiermacher are all considered "Reformed", yet each had remarkably different ideas concerning election, as this video example illustrates: I don't think there is simply one accepted thought on the...

Here are some of the terms I was using. Man = Soul Soul = Body + Spirit Spirit = Breath of God, Image of God in Man Body = Dust + Flesh Dust = From the Earth Flesh = Earthly Nature Earthly Nature = Carnal/Natural/Old man If you would, share some of the terms you're thinking of (that avoid...

Wonderful verse. And, here is a description of how to love your wife/spouse: 1Co 13:4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; 1Co 13:5 it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 1Co 13:6 it does not rejoice at wrong...

It's because we're using the terms (soul, body, spirit, flesh, etc.) differently. Everyone, according to the flesh, ends up in the lake of fire, not the spirit or body, per se, (ie: soul), but rather the "flesh". And that is a good thing. That's where death belongs and is swallowed up in...
