If Jesus death paid and purchased back to God all sinners, all would be saved.
Those who were saved were purchased back to God by His shed blood, correct?Uh no scripture no where bears that out.

That is usually because you read what they write with your "anti-calvinist" filters firmly in place.A couple on here are the only ones I have ever heard say it.
Acts 20:28Those who were saved were purchased back to God by His shed blood, correct?
Acts 20:28
I try to look at it with no filter.That is usually because you read what they write with your "anti-calvinist" filters firmly in place.
You conflate general benefits of the crucifixion, which are for all mankind, and the specific soteriological benefits of the atonement, which are specific to believers.
Should be a good one!Alright, let me see a show of hands...how many people in here own a CSB Study Bible, or plan on getting one.

His blood did not purchase the saved back to the father?Doesn't support your assertion
I'm sorry but that is naive. We all have filters through which we see everything.I try to look at it with no filter.
I don't really care. John MacArthur is not my Savior nor is he the Holy Spirit. And I am not sure we disagree. You may have just read into what he said something you think I disagree with.I believe you and Macarthur disagree.
I have one I received for attending the ETS annual meeting last November. Fairly good translation, but I would appreciate it more if it were based on the Byzantine textform.Alright, let me see a show of hands...how many people in here own a CSB Study Bible, or plan on getting one.

How were the study notes?I have one I received for attending the ETS annual meeting last November. Fairly good translation, but I would appreciate it more if it were based on the Byzantine textform.![]()
Best thing to do is buy a Bible that has no commentary, is written in paragraph form and deemphasizes the verse separations. In that way a person can read the Bible in context rather than look for verses as prooftexts for an opinion they already hold.I do not. ever
Again, did you listen to the sermon?I'm sorry but that is naive. We all have filters through which we see everything.

Ho
How were the study notes?
Get a Thompson chain and follow the cross references!Best thing to do is buy a Bible that has no commentary, is written in paragraph form and deemphasizes the verse separations.

You seem like a prooftext person to me, mitchell.
Nope. Get a Bible with the least amount of commentary. Read the Bible. Write down what you observe. Write down every question the passage brings up. Try to answer those questions by writing down your interpretation. Lastly, check other opinions to see where they agree and where they disagree. If no one agrees with you, your opinion is wrong.Get a Thompson chain and follow the cross references!
The Thompson has no commentary though, as it uses the scriptures themselves as running commentary!Nope. Get a Bible with the least amount of commentary. Read the Bible. Write down what you observe. Write down every question the passage brings up. Try to answer those questions by writing down your interpretation. Lastly, check other opinions to see where they agree and where they disagree.

Move to the next passage. Repeat.
Any layperson can do this. It is, in my opinion, the best way to understand a passage and understand how others came to their conclusions.
