Since the protestant Reformation, only one exegetical commentary on the Greek text of Romans written from a Reformed perspective has been published by a publishing house or a university, Murray, John. The Epistle to the Romans. “New International Commentary on the New Testament series”. Grand...

All humans, including babies, do not die because of a curse; they die because they have sinned. Romans 6:23. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 5:18. So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all...

If God really revealed in His word these things, why did not anyone notice such concepts in the Bible before the 16th century? We have today a huge quantity of Pre-Reformation Christian literature that has been digitalized and very carefully studied, by persons representing a very wide spectrum...

Rom. 5:12. Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13. for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14.

The Lord is referring to “all”—just as the verse says. 2 Peter 3:9. The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. (NASB, 1995)

Moreover, notice the context of Isa. 43:13, “Even from eternity I am He, And there is none who can deliver out of My hand; I act and who can reverse it?” Continue reading the rest of the chapter and what do you find, 22. “Yet you have not called on Me, O Jacob; But you have become weary of Me...

Proponents of the doctrine of eternal security like to quote John 10:27-29 out of context and totally miss the point that Jesus was making—the very point that got Him crucified! 27. “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28. and I give eternal life to them, and they will...

In my opinion—which was the unanimous opinion until the 16th century and is still the view of the large majority Christians—Christians who have been born again have the option to return to their sins and die again. Moreover, Matt. 1:21. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he...

2 Thess. 2:13 13 Ἡμεῖς δὲ ὀφείλομεν εὐχαριστεῖν τῷ θεῷ πάντοτε περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοὶ ἠγαπημένοι ὑπὸ κυρίου, ὅτι εἵλατο ὑμᾶς ὁ θεὸς ἀπαρχὴν εἰς σωτηρίαν ἐν ἁγιασμῷ πνεύματος καὶ πίστει ἀληθείας, 13. But we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters {Gk [brothers]} beloved by the...
