    How many times can I really answer the same question and have the answer ignored. ;)

    I just thought you needed enlightenment that Calvinism is not the Church founded by John Calvin based upon his personal writings. You are conflating it with Mormonism. :)

    dude, How many times do I have to tell you this, O slow of hearing and understanding??? :eek:

    Read and re-read the passage, and it is very clear to ALL, as John Calvin himself saw, that it means "everyone without exeption", as JC says!

    It is ONLY because some like you, will try to remove the UNIVERSAL SAVING LOVE of God for the lost world of sinners, every single one of them, that you will try, and FAIL, to distort its true meaning!

    Ooohh … you told a fib.
    You may not LIKE what I say about John 3:16 and you may DISAGREE, but my answer WAS an answer.

    So … Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire. :p

    You denying that the passage of John 3.16 is not about God's Saving Love?

    I have said thousands of times on BB what KOSMOS means in John 3.16. But you and the others of your understanding are not interested in the Biblical meaning :eek:

    I did not say how it is USED. I said what the actual word MEANS.

    Of course it is about His saving Love in general. It does not deal with individuals.

    Oh I forgot the Grammer Expert has spoken. We already know you don't know what you are talking about in that department, and you like to project an expertise you do not have.

    nothing about arrogance. You and a few others on here, continue to attack my knowledge of Hebrew and Greek, and have till date not been able to show just ONE thing that I have written, that is wrong! It is very unChrist-like to do what you guys do, when you cannot back up your nonsense! This is worse than little kids behave.
