    Darrell C,


    ,

    While this sounds good the problem is the length of your rambling posts....

    I have to edit the excess.....

    I do pick out your errors....

    Sure I can and have, but you just try and dismiss it:Unsure

    Let the readers decide DC......if there are any...

    not from what I see, but glad you are happy...

    Sorry to disappoint you but My feathers are not ruffled by anything you have posted....

    The sun here in Arizona burns me up, your posts not so much....

    It is no big thing to me DC, really, but I will not let you post nonsense unchecked...

    too bad....you could have used the phone a friend option to try and find out about the Covenant of Redemption...


    :Alien



    You are not going to ignore what is already presented and try and slip away are you?:Cautious

    Darrell C,
    not really...but I play the hand I am dealt...

    I can assure I am not that emotionally invested in this, it is more like a morbid curiosity at this point...

    :Alien...this gets the slime emoticon because you do this quite often...that is....you asked 2 different things....I respond, but you then make as if the response is against the obvious truth....you just lectured me about quoting you to get the context.....lets see
    here is what was really posted;

    Darrell C,
    When scripture says we can know what God reveals to us, freely....that is what it means;
    I believe what scripture says here....you believe you can go beyond what is revealed....
    1 cor2
    12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

    No you cannot...

    By God's mercy It can be born from above

    Okay...you forced me to reveal it.....elect infants get saved at 2:37 am....that is the time slot allotted for elect infants....can you prove it is not?:Wink:Wink:Wink
    The confession put it this way however;
    Elect infants dying in infancy are regenerated and saved by Christ through the Spirit;10 who works when, and where, and how He pleases

    This shows you still have no idea what you are even speaking about.:Cautious:Cautious:Cautious

    Here is everything you say in post ten:


    I see nothing that addresses the questions posed in regards to infant salvation and death.

    I have addressed your statement that implies God has not revealed His will on this.

    I have addressed your Covenant of Redemption theory.

    I have even addressed the insults.

    None of these addresses infants dying and how that relates to salvation. You have addressed only the "elect infants" that die, yet you refuse to publicly declare how it is this Covenant of Redemption bypasses man's separation from God, and the condemnation every man is under from conception.

    But, I will take a look at your other posts, and see if you ever build up courage to publicly speak your beliefs.


    God bless.

    Doesn't matter if they are long or short...you still won't give straight answers.

    Here's a short one: what happens to non-elect infants that die?


    God bless.

    Okay, great, but what about...the non-elect infants that die?

    I've asked several times.

    If you believe there are non-elect infants that God sends to Hell...why won't you admit it?



    So you are saying that men are not conceived natural? And that they do not remain natural until born again?

    Just give straight answers.

    If you are trying to teach the elect are in this covenant of redemption and therefore are not born natural and remain natural until regenerated, say so. If you are not...say so.

    If your doctrine is too embarrassing to teach, don't you think you might want to rethink it?


    God bless.

    Its a simple question, Iconoclast, lol.

    Here it is again:


    I have asked you to show me in Scripture where the implicit teaching of the covenant of redemption is, to no avail.

    So let's carry on with your post, and I will start over again:


    DC said;

    Man is separated from God at conception, which is not nullified by some kind of Covenant that we do not find presented in Scripture


    My objection was not concerning man separated at conception.....but the second part where you deny the Covenant Redemption



    That is not what "was really posted," Iconoclast.

    Here is the full statement, and the times-tamp is made available, I am not just giving a loose quote:



    So how am I in error to ask you this...

    So you do not see the Elect as separated from God at conception?


    ...?

    It tracks your statements and asks a simple question which is the reasonable conclusion of your own statement?

    Or did you forget that you are not the one that said...

    Man is separated from God at conception, which is not nullified by some kind of Covenant that we do not find presented in Scripture



    I really have no idea what it is you believe, to be honest, because you will not make any statement other than "We can't know and we should just trust God," elect infants are covered by the covenant of redemption," and you refuse to address non-elect infants.

    Again, why is it you are involved in this thread? lol

    As far as being paranoid, no, it isn't paranoia when your antagonists give their motives away...


    When exactly did you say this? What thread, what post number?

    So how about explaining this covenant of redemption, Iconoclast, if that is the only think you have to support elect infants being saved.

    And a statement about non-elect infants, as well, seeing you, and only one other member have actually implied God sends babies to Hell.


    God bless.

    You have been asked several times for a Scriptural presentation of this mythological covenant of redemption, Iconoclast.

    I know exactly what you are talking about, and have told you, and another member that it is bogus, and there is no support, either implicit of explicit...in all of Scripture.

    The fact is that the New Covenant was established roughly two thousand years ago, and that is when men were brought into Eternal Relationship with God.

    Not in eternity.

    So your mythology needs to be either supported or it remains in a category of fictitious, pulpit bred doctrines of men.

    You imply that men are not conceived and born under condemnation, which is something I don't even think cults teach.

    So let's have it. Where's your Scripture?


    God bless.

    Darrell C,

    :Alien

    I have asked you to explain the Covenant of Redemption.

    I did not ask you to believe it.

    I just asked that you give a basic understanding of what it is......you have not, although you scoff and mock at what you cannot even explain

    No....you are not going to ignore what was posted and move on....

    You were asked two things before progress can be made here....I will repeat them for you.

    1] explain what is the Covenant of Redemption...in other words....who was involved in it, when was it made, who are the objects of it....

    2] I want you to answer this question....is this the fifth time I posted it
    And here we have it.......your denial of what is the core teaching of scripture:Cautious:(:Cautious Let me guess....;).......your objection is......you do not see the ....words.....Covenant of redemption written out in any verse of scripture....so in your mind...it cannot exist is that it????

    I can have some fun with this-

    If I am reading the sports page and read an article that discusses and mentions the following items;
    the strike zone
    a stolen base
    the pitchers mound
    two doubles
    a balk
    a single
    a grand slam
    an earned run average
    a batting average
    the foul pole
    the plate umpire

    Would you struggle mightily to grasp what sport the article was speaking about?
    Would you deny that sport exists because it was not mentioned by the name of it ?
    If everyone other than you knew exactly what sport was being spoken about would you dismiss all of them?
    If you denied the sport existed after reading all the elements and descriptions....do you think anyone should take you seriously after such objections???

    Where do we find justification for your statement, "Election is based upon a person being in the Covenant of redemption," and how this is relevant to the topic of discussion?
    The C.O.R . deals with all men who are saved. The topic is about salvation.....and you want to know how this is relevant???:Cautious:Cautious:Cautious
    If the C.O.R. deals with all persons who will ever be saved, why would it not deal with elect infants?
    And how is this relevant to the infant in the womb?
    Why would you exclude them?:Cautious:Cautious

    There is a relevance, but, this verse is a long way from justifying "Election is based upon a person being in the Covenant of redemption," and in fact goes against what you are teaching, because it shows...
    it shows you are one confused puppy???

    HEY DC,

    What sport is described above? Hint, the word is not used in the descriptive parts....Can you describe which sport is being described, or is it a "mythical sport"????

    Darrell C,
    No....it is you who were asked to describe it and you mock it once again....
    I am certain you have no clue what you are talking about by your foul posts.....go ahead and google it...phone a friend, come back when you want to "study doctrine"....you whined about it over and over...here is your chance....

    Millions see it, understand it and profit from it....you claim it is bogus...
    then you should be able to explain it, if you know what it is.....unless you google it, you are not within miles of it:Roflmao:Roflmao:Roflmao

    In your world and false theology....for the rest of us the scripture explains it very clearly.

    :Alien
    :Alien

    . :Alien...more slime
    Quote where I said this??? I think we all missed this .....looks more like a 9th commandment violation to everyone reading this.

    Sure...soon as you do the 2 things you were asked to do....:Thumbsup:Thumbsup:Thumbsup:Thumbsup:Thumbsup

    Okay, so you are saying that I must describe what you believe?

    I have done that. Here it is again: it is a pulpit bred mythological doctrine of man that suggests that there is a Covenant that stands outside of time.

    And this is why the "elect" are safe no matter what happens, even if they die in birth.

    But it stands in direct contradiction to the true Everlasting Covenant, which while it is outside of time and the physical realm...was not established relationally with men until Christ died, arose, returned to Heaven, sent the Promised Spirit, and established the New Covenant.

    Elect infants are not safe because they are already in relationship with God prior to conception and birth.

    This suggests men are conceived saved.

    So do I mock such absurdity? Well...maybe I do. But, it is an honest statement, and it is a straightforward answer you, and at least one other...has been given several times.

    Yet you still will not speak directly and talk about the non-elect infants which your holy writings, the confessions of men...are silent about. And only you and one other on this forum, that I know of...have implied God sends babies to Hell because they are non-elect.

    Is that clear enough Iconoclast?

    I really had hope for you. The disruption that use to be so prevalent has gotten better, but of course, I don't spend much time in the calv/arm board, so not sure if that is still the wild west or not. So I ask you again, why exactly are you in this thread if you have no intention of dealing with the topic? If you have no idea of expanding on why you think elect babies are safe?

    Its not my burden to describe what you believe, it is yours.


    God bless.

    Here it is:



    The conclusion is drawn from your own statement.

    I said man is conceived natural, and remain natural until they are born again, and you say...


    This shows you still have no idea what you are even speaking about.:Cautious:Cautious:Cautious



    So are you now going to affirm what I said?

    Please do so.

    Then we can pick the discussion back up.


    God bless.

    As I suspected....you cannot do it. You fail to handle it here so as I said you will not solve the puzzle, because as any explanation is now given, you will deny the explanation at all cost.
    You are all worked up about this topic but as I originally stated you will never come to truth with your hostility to the truth of God.....

    What sport was described in the other posts...that was the second question....you can answer it yes????

    ps. here is from post33.....in the first infant thread-

    But as I was saying....you state several ideas that many might agree with, but then you assume every reader is following you and then you seemed a bit startled to find you get a reaction....just an observation.

    pt2;
    C. THE SON IN THE COVENANT OF REDEMPTION.
    1. THE OFFICIAL POSITION OF CHRIST IN THIS COVENANT. The position of Christ in the covenant of redemption is twofold. In the first place He is Surety (Gr. egguos), a word that is used only in Heb. 7:22. The derivation of this word is uncertain, and therefore cannot aid us in establishing its meaning. But the meaning is not doubtful. A surety is one who engages to become responsible for it that the legal obligations of another will be met. In the covenant of redemption Christ undertook to atone for the sins of His people by bearing the necessary punishment, and to meet the demands of the law for them. And by taking the place of delinquent man He became the last Adam, and is as such also the Head of the covenant, the Representative of all those whom the Father has given Him. In the covenant of redemption, then, Christ is both Surety and Head. He took upon Himself the responsibilities of His people. He is also their Surety in the covenant of grace, which develops out of the covenant of redemption. The question has been raised, whether the suretyship of Christ in the counsel of peace was conditional or unconditional. Roman jurisprudence recognizes two kinds of suretyship, the one designated fidejussor, and the other expromissor. The former is conditional, and the latter unconditional. The former is a surety who undertakes to pay for another, provided this person does not himself render satisfaction. The burden of guilt remains on the guilty party until the time of payment. The latter, however, is a surety who takes upon himself unconditionally to pay for another, thus relieving the guilty party of his responsibility at once. Coccejus and his school maintained that in the counsel of peace Christ became a fidejussor, and that consequently Old Testament believers enjoyed no complete forgiveness of sins. From Rom. 3:25 they inferred that for those saints there was only a paresis, an overlooking of sin, and no aphesis or complete forgiveness, until Christ really made atonement for sin. Their opponents asserted, however, that Christ took upon Himself unconditionally to render satisfaction for His people, and therefore became a surety in the specific sense of an expromissor. This is the only tenable position, for: (a) Old Testament believers received full justification or forgiveness, though the knowledge of it was not as full and clear as it is in the New Testament dispensation. There was no essential difference between the status of the Old, and that of the New Testament believers, Ps. 32:1,2,5; 51:1-3, 9-11; 103:3,12; Isa. 43:25; Rom. 3:3,6-16; Gal. 3:6-9. The position of Coccejus reminds one of that of the Roman Catholics with their Limbus Patrum. (b) Coccejus’ theory makes the work of God in making provision for the redemption of sinners dependent on the uncertain obedience of man in an entirely unwarranted way. There is no sense in saying that Christ became a conditional surety, as if it were still possible that the sinner should pay for himself. God’s provision for the redemption of sinners is absolute. This is not the same as saying that He does not treat and address the sinner as personally guilty until he is justified by faith, for this is exactly what God does do. (c) In Rom. 3:25, the passage to which Coccejus appeals, the apostle uses the word paresis (overlooking or passing over), not because the individual believers in the Old Testament did not receive full pardon of sin, but because during the old dispensation the forgiveness of sin assumed the form of a paresis, as long as sin had not been adequately punished in Christ, and the absolute righteousness of Christ had not been revealed in the cross.

    2. THE CHARACTER THIS COVENANT ASSUMED FOR CHRIST. Though the covenant of redemption is the eternal basis of the covenant of grace, and, as far as sinners are concerned, also its eternal prototype, it was for Christ a covenant of works rather than a covenant of grace. For Him the law of the original covenant applied, namely, that eternal life could only be obtained by meeting the demands of the law. As the last Adam Christ obtains eternal life for sinners in reward for faithful obedience, and not at all as an unmerited gift of grace. And what He has done as the Representative and Surety of all His people, they are no more in duty bound to do. The work has been done, the reward is merited, and believers are made partakers of the fruits of Christ’s accomplished work through grace.

    3. CHRIST’S WORK IN THE COVENANT LIMITED BY THE DECREE OF ELECTION. Some have identified the covenant of redemption and election; but this is clearly a mistake. Election has reference to the selection of the persons destined to be the heirs of everlasting glory in Christ. The counsel of redemption, on the other hand, refers to the way in which and the means by which grace and glory are prepared for sinners. Election, indeed, also has reference to Christ and reckons with Christ, for believers are said to be elected in Him. Christ Himself is, in a sense, the object of election, but in the counsel of redemption He is one of the contracting parties. The Father deals with Christ as the Surety of His people. Logically, election precedes the counsel of redemption, because the suretyship of Christ, like His atonement, is particular. If there were no preceding election, it would necessarily be universal. Moreover, to turn this around would be equivalent to making the suretyship of Christ the ground of election, while Scripture bases election entirely on the good pleasure of God.

    4. CONNECTION OF THE SACRAMENTS USED BY CHRIST WITH THE COVENANT. Christ used the sacraments of both the Old and the New Testament. It is evident, however, that they could not mean for Him what they do for believers. In His case they could be neither symbols nor seals of saving grace; nor could they be instrumental in strengthening saving faith. If we distinguish, as we are doing, between the covenant of redemption and the covenant of grace, then the sacraments were for Christ in all probability sacraments of the former rather than of the latter. Christ took upon Himself in the covenant of redemption to meet the demands of the law. These had assumed a definite form when Christ was on earth and also included positive religious regulations. The sacraments formed a part of this law, and therefore Christ had to subject Himself to them, Matt. 3:15. At the same time they could serve as seals of the promises which the Father had given to the Son. The objection may be raised to this representation that the sacraments were indeed fit symbols and seals of the removal of sin and of the nourishment of spiritual life, but from the nature of the case could not have this meaning for Christ, who had no sin and needed no spiritual nourishment. The objection may be met, at least to a certain extent, by calling attention to the fact that Christ appeared on earth in a public and official capacity. Though He had no personal sin, and no sacrament could therefore signify and seal to Him its removal, yet He was made to be sin for His people, II Cor. 5:21, by being burdened with their guilt; and consequently the sacraments could signify the removal of this burden, according to the promise of the Father, after He had completed His atoning work. Again, though we cannot speak of Christ as exercising saving faith in the sense in which this is required of us, yet as Mediator He had to exercise faith in a wider sense by accepting the promises of the Father believingly, and by trusting the Father for their fulfilment. And the sacraments could serve as signs and seals to strengthen this faith as far as His human nature was concerned.

    pt3;
    D. REQUIREMENTS AND PROMISES IN THE COVENANT OF REDEMPTION.
    1. REQUIREMENTS. The Father required of the Son, who appeared in this covenant as the Surety and Head of His people, and as the last Adam, that He should make amends for the sin of Adam and of those whom the Father had given Him, and should do what Adam failed to do by keeping the law and thus securing eternal life for all His spiritual progeny. This requirement included the following particulars:

    a. That He should assume human nature by being born of a woman, and thus enter into temporal relations; and that He should assume this nature with its present infirmities, though without sin, Gal. 4:4,5; Heb. 2:10,11,14,15; 4:15. It was absolutely essential that He should become one of the human race.

    b. That He, who as the Son of God was superior to the law, should place Himself under the law; that He should enter, not merely into the natural, but also into the penal and federal relation to the law, in order to pay the penalty for sin and to merit everlasting life for the elect, Ps. 40:8; Matt. 5:17,18; John 8:28,29; Gal. 4:4,5; Phil. 2:6-8.

    c. That He, after having merited forgiveness of sins and eternal life for His own, should apply to them the fruits of His merits: complete pardon, and the renewal of their lives through the powerful operation of the Holy Spirit. By doing this He would render it absolutely certain that believers would consecrate their lives to God, John 10:16; John 16:14,15; 17:12,19-22; Heb. 2: 10-13; 7:25.

    2. PROMISES. The promises of the Father were in keeping with His requirements. He promised the Son all that was required for the performance of His great and comprehensive task, thereby excluding all uncertainty in the operation of this covenant. These promises included the following:

    a. That He would prepare the Son a body, which would be a fit tabernacle for him; a body in part prepared by the immediate agency of God and uncontaminated by sin, Luke 1:35; Heb. 10:5.

    b. That He would endow Him with the necessary gifts and graces for the performance of His task, and particularly would anoint Him for the Messianic offices by giving Him the Spirit without measure, a promise that was fulfilled especially at the time of His baptism, Isa. 42:1,2; 61:1; John 3:31.

    c. That He would support Him in the performance of His work, would deliver Him from the power of death, and would thus enable Him to destroy the dominion of Satan and to establish the Kingdom of God, Isa. 42:1-7; 49:8; Ps. 16:8-11; Acts 2:25-28.

    d. That He would enable Him, as a reward for His accomplished work, to send out the Holy Spirit for the formation of His spiritual body, and for the instruction, guidance, and protection of the Church, John 14:26; 15:26; 16:13, 14; Acts 2:33.

    e. That He would give unto Him a numerous seed in reward for His accomplished work, a seed so numerous that it would be a multitude which no man could number, so that ultimately the Kingdom of the Messiah would embrace the people of all nations and tongues, Ps. 22:27; 72:17.

    f. That He would commit to Him all power in heaven and on earth for the government of the world and of His Church, Matt. 28:18; Eph. 1:20-22; Phil. 2:9-11; Heb. 2:5-9; and would finally reward Him as Mediator with the glory which He as the Son of God had with the Father before the world was, John 17:5.

    pt4;
    E. THE RELATION OF THIS COVENANT TO THE COVENANT OF GRACE.
    The following points indicate the relation in which this covenant stands to the covenant of grace:

    1. The counsel of redemption is the eternal prototype of the historical covenant of grace. This accounts for the fact that many combine the two into a single covenant. The former is eternal, that is, from eternity, and the latter, temporal in the sense that it is realized in time. The former is a compact between the Father and the Son as the Surety and Head of the elect, while the latter is a compact between the triune God and the elect sinner in the Surety.

    2. The counsel of redemption is the firm and eternal foundation of the covenant of grace. If there had been no eternal counsel of peace between the Father and the Son, there could have been no agreement between the triune God and sinful men. The counsel of redemption makes the covenant of grace possible.

    3. The counsel of redemption consequently also gives efficacy to the covenant of grace, for in it the means are provided for the establishment and execution of the latter. It is only by faith that the sinner can obtain the blessings of the covenant, and in the counsel of redemption the way of faith is opened. The Holy Spirit, which produces faith in the sinner, was promised to Christ by the Father, and the acceptance of the way of life through faith was guaranteed by Christ.

    The covenant of redemption may be defined as the agreement between the Father, giving the Son as Head and Redeemer of the elect, and the Son, voluntarily taking the place of those whom the Father had given Him.


    This is for starters and for anyone who would like to learn truth.

    Page Three of that thread deals with your statements in Post #3 in detail.

    That can be seen Here.

    You can also look on Page Two to see the first post responding to that.

    And I will say it again...it is not my responsibility to declare what it is you believe.

    But thanks for finally giving me something to consider concerning your doctrine, in the following posts.

    Is there something in these doctrines of men that you feel is significant to the discussion?


    God bless.
