JOHN 3:16 - FOR GOD SO LOVES THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE

I notice no biblical support as you have your selfish tantrum.
Biblical support has been shown to you and utilyan regarding God’s limited atonement, yet you dig your heals in and reveal the obstinate heart of one who refuses to believe what God has clearly told us.

 

Another tirade with no biblical support. You are an example of humanism in the church.

 

You don't use the scriptures and when you do it is always out of context and not an accurate exegesis of the verse. Your use of Stephen and the Serpents staff are just two examples of your weak grasp of God's word.

 

Not excusing our OP brother for "getting in the flesh" but.........
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. proverbs 15:1

 

I didn;t see the "Stephen" one, maybe i'll go back and find it later. But I thought his 'serpent on the pole", in the book of Numbers, was excellent knowledge of God's Word..
You see, in the Book of Numbers, God told Moses to make this serpent on a pole and God said that whoever simply looked on the serpent would live and not die from snakebite. But I don't recall reading in there where Moses, Aaron, God or anyone dragged any of those snakebitten folks over and glued their eyeballs to the thing. They just believed what was told them, turned their heads in the general direction, focused both eyeballs on the thing and LIVED! Anyway, Jesus used this to illustrate how salvation happens! Let's read it again.....

Jesus speaking.......
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:14-15

We're all "snakebitten" from birth my friends. But God gives everyone a choice; look on Jesus and live, or die. He sets before us life and death, blessing and cursing, BUT He tells us all "choose life". The Way, the Truth, and the Life is only in Jesus Christ. He died for every man woman and child on this planet. That means every single person reading this. Jesus loves YOU! If you don't know Him, you are going to die in a place prepared for the Devil and his angels. He didn't die for just certain ones. He wants everyone to "choose life". But it's your choice.

 

When people try to make theological arguments by way of name-calling, attempting to belittle, and sarcasm, they demonstrate that they simply cannot make a case for what they believe, by way of the scripture. This results in you having a 'neener, neener, neener' argument.

God is the author of morality, not you. He chooses who he chooses and you really don't have anything to say about it.

The Bible does not teach that men gain salvation by free will. People can choose to turn right or left, eat a burger or a steak by their own free will. But not salvation, and the Bible teaches that God chooses before the foundation of the world.

Stop trying to control God. It will not serve you well.

"If the election of the Father is not universal and the regeneration of the Holy Spirit is not universal why is the atonement of Jesus universal"? Shai Linne

 

Who are the people who would believe Jesus?
Answer: Those whom God makes alive and adopts as His children.
Your reference promotes limited atonement and you can't see why.

 

More name-calling.

Colossians 4:5-6English Standard Version (ESV)

5 Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. 6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.

 

No sir, the serpent was "lifted up in the wilderness" for all snakebitten ones to see. But each person had to exercise the faith to "look" of their own volition. That, sir, is "unlimited" atonement: and you still don't see that?
