As I understand it, yes. Jesus redeemed everything He assumed in the incarnation, that includes our human nature. Peace to you

It has to do with covenant theology, as I understand it. Reformed hold to covenant theology. I haven’t studied Calvin, but am aware of the debate surrounding the 5 points. Peace to you

Thank you for your kind words. You are far more knowledgeable than I about connecting the OT prophecies to the modern world. I tend to see much of the prophecy as symbolic, not literal. The “144000” for instance, I see as symbolic of a number from each tribe of Israel that is too high to...

I’m glad we both agree to base our beliefs on scripture So, applying your literal interpretation to Revelation, you will clearly understand that the mention of the “1000 year reign” was a reward for those faithful that were martyred during the great tribulation (they will reign “with Christ”...

Matthew 24-25 is definitive. Jesus comes (2nd coming) AFTER the great tribulation. His angels collect the elect from the earth (consistent with Paul’s statement we rise into the air), then comes the great throne judgment. There is no pre-trib rapture. There is no re-establishment of national...

Interesting. I have considered this for some time. That is, did Jesus use the power of God Holy Spirit, rather than His own divine power (kenosis), to perform all His miracles? Scripture attributes the miracles to Jesus. Does Jesus have two distinct natures… Divine and human? Peace to you

Please provide a reference to support your claim that “Calvinists” hold the Father “looked upon the Son… as a sinner”, instead of bearing the sins of others on the cross. Please provide a reference for what you claim “Calvinists” believe. FTR, I consider myself reformed, not Calvinist, and do...

I had a relative that was Oneness Pentecostal. Knowing I was in a Baptist Seminary, he attempted to engage me about this issue at my fathers’s funeral. I politely declined to discuss the issue. Upon reflection, I suppose I shouldn’t have been so polite. Peace to you

Well stated Peace to you

So, I gave you scripture and civil discussion based on scripture. You respond with insults. Thanks for the conversation @Charlie24 Peace to you

That is the debate. If Christ made propitiation for sins of every person without exception, then why does anyone go to hell? Those that support “free will” will say (as I have heard some, not you, say) is that propitiation is made for all sins except rejecting Christ and the gospel. When...

This is true. Paul told us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. It is a shame we cannot discuss our shared salvation without personal attacks. What I have found, to keep things civil, each person should be able to recite the other’s beliefs according to their own words, without...

That looks so realistic. Wow! Peace to you

I don’t need a lecture in theology from someone who believes many are saved having never heard the gospel. Peace to you

Well, I can only speak for myself. Long before I heard of “Calvinism” I gleaned from scripture the truths that I found out later were referred to as the doctrines of grace I do understand that Luther, Calvin, Knox, Gill and many others throughout the centuries also came to the conclusion these...
