What About John 3:16? From: What the Bible Says About the Doctrines of Grace. "The word "whosoever" in John 3:16 translates from the Greek phrase "πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων" (pas ho pisteuōn). "Let's break this down: "1. πᾶς (pas): This is a pronoun commonly translated as "all" or "every." "It often...

"God ever does with sin is smite it, and God’s atoning Lamb was not smitten with as much as one stripe for any beyond the limits of His shed blood. "Christ, the antitype of Israel’s Passover lamb and antitype of Israel’s High Priest (Hebrews 9:7), having obtained eternal redemption for His...

God does not deal with the non-elect world through 'Sufficient Grace', but with Sufficient and Unadulterated Justice. 'Answer' given to your questions by way of the example of The Passover Lamb. Long 'Answer', but all good meat to chew on. "The second type we want to consider...

Perhaps this may be another: You notice No.25, 'Repentance and Faith' is couched in among and between and after several other subject matters handled there and before some others: 13. The Creation of Man 14. The Essential Elements of Human Nature 15. The Moral Nature of Man 16. The Original...

It's the Devil. And, happens to all of us. Great Save. New thread; https://www.baptistboard.com/threads/scripture-typology-and-atonement-sufficiency-shown-by-the-ark-of-noah.131578/

SCRIPTURE TYPOLOGY AND ATONEMENT SUFFICIENCY. "All Scripture is given by the Inspiration of God, and is Profitable for Doctrine …" (II Timothy 3:16). This text most assuredly includes the Old Testament and its many and various types, for the New Testament was not yet in existence. "A type...

The Baptist London Confession of Faith of 1689, says God is Able to Justify the sinner, after they are Made Righteous, which is the result of the sinner's sin, first, having being Pardoned. "Of Justification", point 1 has; "(a) Those whom God Effectually Calleth, He also freely a Justifieth...

THESE WERE PEOPLE WHO WEREn't INSPIRED AND NEVER CLAIMED TO BE, OF COURSE. (Sorry caps, ohh, those HURT! :Ninja) There have been other very unfortunate attempts at articulating the Belief we believe to be of The Bible, in this same instance, where there are people who have never thought past...

"There is no question as to the capability of God. He could have, had He been pleased, provided satisfaction for the devil and his angels; but we know this was not His pleasure. It is the design of God’s sovereign grace we are concerned with, and redemptive sufficiency is a product of the...

This is at what will be The End of Time as we know it. Jesus as the Lord God Eternal Son is the King of His Kingdom on Earth now, as He Rules from Heaven over His children, who are kings and priests on Earth, especially in The Lord's churches as they are under His Lordship and organized rule...

It is interesting to see Total Depravity, on which 'Calvanism' depends, expressed in these Johnny-come-lately surmisings attempting to associate it with any other writer that ever came along and had some vague commonality with The Doctrines of Grace. Right.
