It is what it shouldn't be

[Big Boy Johnson]

I haven’t forgotten anything. I’m not a universalist and I embrace Acts 3:21.

But, do you also embrace the rest of God's Word including Hebrews 2:8, 2 Corinthians 4:4, John 14:30, 1 Corinthians 15:26 ???

Acts 3:21 does not teach all will be saved in the end.

Yes.

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

Yes.

OK so Acts 3:21 needs to be read in light of the rest of what God teaches in His Word.

I'm going to lay some truth on you both.

I doubt either of you will regard it, but they are the express ideas of God, per His Word.

God is in complete control.
Nothing is out of His control.
He has all control.
This is what omnipotent means.

You see Him irreverantly; He permits you to believe the irreverant things you do, which is why you struggle with what I just wrote.

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

God is in complete control.
Nothing is out of His control.
He has all control.

God gave man dominion over the earth (read Genesis) which is why it's in the mess it is in

The calvinists claim God causes all that happens so they think when a child molester rapes a child it was not just God's will for the child to be raped, but they claim God caused the child molester to rape the child.

God clearly teaches in His Word that He has not yet assume absolute control over this world as of yet:

Hebrews 2:8
Thou hast put all things in subjection under His feet. for in that
He put all in subjection under Him, He left nothing that is not put
under Him. But now we see not yet all things put under Him

And, we also see that the devil is called the god of this world which
will not change until Jesus returns to start His 1000 year reign and
throws the devil and his demons in to hell.

2 Corinthians 4:4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which
believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who
is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Jesus speaking of the devil, says he is the prince of this world.

John 14:30
the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

And we see that the last enemy put under foot is death which has not happened as of yet.

1 Corinthians 15:26
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

You should ditch the calvinist heresy and start accepting what God says in His Word

Yes. I agree.
