then God is the AUTHOR OF SIN! and CANNOT be Holy, Just, Righteous, etc, etc!!!

what you are saying is the HIGHEST BLASPHEMY!

Yes God purposed sin into the world, in that regard He is the author of sin and He is Holy regardless of what you say.

Yes God purposed sin into the world, in that regard He is the author of sin and He is Holy regardless of what you say.

And you are DECEIVED!

 

[ByGraceThroughFaith]

You are expressing your disdain for the Truth. Gods Love is exclusive and Particular and in Christ.

This is your theology and has ZERO to do with the Greek!

Typical misuse of the Bible by the so called reformed

 

[brightfame52]

And you are DECEIVED!

No you are

 

[brightfame52]

Again your disdain of truth is manifested.

I meant exactly what it says

So then in your understanding God caused men to sin, because it pleased God that men should be sinners.

We are very far apart on this.

Much love!

Yes, because it pleased God for Christ to be the Saviour of sinners.

Then that's concupiscence. The inner desire for what is evil. In this case, you are asserting God desired that men would be sinners so that He could save them. The desire for what is evil is sin. You ascribe sin to God. How dare you! God Himself is the One who alone is righteous and holy, being Himself all that is good and nothing of evil. You ascribe to Him that He also falls from His holiness and righteousness into the same sin He condemns us for. You make Him a sinner and a hypocrite.

No way!

Much love!

complete RUBBISH!

You know ZERO about Greek grammar!

The use of the article is NOT used here for EXCLUSIVENESS!!!

This is from a guy's website, I think he's got some great stuff on there. I use it for a refresher. Even if someone is not familiar with Koine Greek grammar, if they have a basic understanding of grammatical terms, they will soon see the Koine Greek article follows different rules than the English.

Much love!

Miscellaneous Greek Items

Articles (Definite and Indefinite)
In English the definite article is the word "the", which tends to point out one or more particular items of a group or class. It is like an adjective in that it always modifies a noun (substantive). In Greek, the definite article is declined (i.e. it changes form to match the case, number, and gender of the noun which it modifies). In many cases the definite article in Greek is used to draw attention to the noun it modifies in a way very much unlike the English definite article. However, without a thorough understanding and "feel" for the Greek definite article, it is probably best to include the English article when one is present in Greek (unless it creates an awkward result in the English translation) and to omit it in English if not present in the Greek.

English also has what is called an indefinite article, which is the word "a" or "an". The indefinite article points out or denotes any one of the items in a group or class. Greek does not have a word exactly corresponding to the English indefinite article, therefore sometimes a noun without a definite article can be translated and treated in English as if it had an indefinite article (however, this is not always the case and should be applied cautiously since there are ways to indicate the same idea as the English indefinite article). (A more in-depth explanation will be included in subsequent lessons).

A substantive that is being modified by a definite article is referred to as being ‘articular’, whereas a substantive without a definite article is termed ‘anarthrous’.

What, its concupiscence for God to be pleased to bruise Christ for the sins of His People ? Isa 53:10


Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

May God have mercy on you and your foolish talking.

What, its concupiscence for God to be pleased to bruise Christ for the sins of His People ? Isa 53:10

That has nothing to do with what I'm saying, or what you've claimed.

You are asserting it was God's desire for man to be sinful, dead in sin, hopeless sinners. That God created man so he would become fully evil. And again, that was what God wanted from the beginning.

So no, it's not concupiscence for God to be pleased to bruise Christ, to rescue us from our sins.

It's concupiscence to want others to sin, to desire that they sin. The desire for what is evil, that is sin. You accuse God of sin.

You make God dishonest, that when He commanded Adam to not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, that in fact God wanted him to eat, planned for him to eat, left him no option but to eat, because God wanted it so.

Sin came when God's creatures disobeyed Him. You would have sin begin with God Himself, the original sinner. I have a hard time just typing these words! I can't imagine believing such a thing!

Much love!

This has got nothing to do with the Greek article used by Paul to show God's special love for the elect. The grammar says nothing of that

It has everything to do with it, The Lord was pleased to bruise Christ for sin, that was His Purpose before the world began 1 Pet 1:20

20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

God was pleased that Adam sinned and brought sin into the world, it was His Purpose, and you blaspheme saying it is concupiscence , you speaking foolish about Gods Eternal Purpose in Christ.
