The text does not support your view Dave. Yes John was speaking to believers and Christ is the propitiation for them but then John goes on to say Christ is not just their propitiation but also for the whole world. John did not say for the whole world that believe, that has to be read into the...

So we both agree that even those that are saved can and will sin. The Calvinist total depravity view is just a man made attempt to answer as to why some will reject the gospel message. I have not read either Arminius or Edwards but I have read God's word and have found that God has provided...

Dave I agree with what you said here " it may well be that we should be able to hear the gospel and respond and in truth, we should be able to just decide to turn around, turn to God". Which we can do as we see clearly in scripture. Eph 1:13, Rom 10-9, Eph 2:8. Through our God given free will we...

That you missed the intent of the text is worth going on about. But it would seem that you are more interested in just playing silly word games in your responses than actually dealing with the text. I pointed out that propitiation in 1Jn 2:2 is a noun as you did not seem to know that from what...

Actually Martin you have missed the intent of that verse. By reading 1Jn 2:1-2 and letting the words inform you rather than reading your view into the text it will clear up your confusion. 1Jn 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone...

I did read your post but it seems you did not read mine. What I said "You have suggested that 1Jn 2:2 does not support the view that Christ is the propitiation for the whole world" Your reply "I am suggesting is that Christ is not the propitiation for all the people in the world" What is the...

Yes God's word can be understood but that requires that you not read into the text what you need to find to support your preconceived views as you seem to be doing. You have suggested that 1Jn 2:2 does not support the view that Christ is the propitiation for the whole world but the burden of...

Just the years catching up at the most inopportune times.

From what you write it would seem that the word of God can not be understood at all since we can never know what was really meant by the words we read in scripture.

And therein we see the main issue. Man will read into scripture what they need to find or they will read scripture to see what God says.

I just read an article on the Megiddo Mosaic https://www.museumofthebible.org/magazine/exhibitions/the-megiddo-mosaic-a-community-coming-together-to-the-table That is a fantastic find which I would truly love to see, but age and distance precludes that happening.

Spot on KY.

If he cannot see the difference between Christian and Mormon then he does not understand either.

Correct me if I am wrong on this but isn't the Chosen backed by Mormon $'s. If so they would want to portray Jesus as just a normal man that later was raised to being a god. I have not watched any of it but from what you have posted i will not be doing so.
