The truth is, every single one of these examples is a valid rendering from the TR. I checked. I do disagree with the 1 Cor. 1:18 rendering, but it is completely allowable from the Greek, since the original is a present passive participle, meaning it can be translated with either imperfective or...

"From "Answers To Your Bible Version Questions" © 2001 by David W. Daniels "Question: I know the New King James is said to be a "revision of the King James." But were the Greek and Hebrew texts for the New King James the same as they were for the King James? "Answer: The NKJV is not a revision...

I agree. But this is not all that is "mind blowing". The mere fact so many believe man could be made right with God if only we would be able to escape punishment is mind blowing. The idea that sins and wrath are magically treated as material things is mind blowing. I believe if many here...

1 Corinthians 1:27 says God has chosen those consider foolish according to the world's value system to shame those who see themselves as wise. Does anyone not see the fallen behavior of humanity has been established in human culture at the time of their individual election. To push all these...

I’m recently retired, moved away from the area I’ve lived in for 50+ years. Life’s taken its toll on my health as well…and it’s difficult to travel after my prostate surgery. But I’m a classic introvert, solitude suits me. I have my books, even as my eyes dim. My wife and I found a great church...

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Be ye perfect; that is, in the perfection of JESUS, for there is no other way of finding perfection but in him. What men talk of respecting sincerity for perfection, is a fancy formed nowhere but in their...

In what way has divine intervention been accomplished for those who are perishing? 1 Corinthians 1:18 (ESV) For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. I do not doubt that those were real experiences. I’m not the type...

"That through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil." Three things here claim attention: First , what is meant by the Devil having "the power of death"? Second , what "death" is here in view? Third , in what sense has Christ "destroyed" the Devil? From the...

That's the Calvinist way, pick a verse that works for the theory and quote it! Let's take a look at your verse in context. John 6:64-65 "But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said...

The Gospel message is effective only for the elect. It's not effective at all for those who are perishing. 1 Corinthians 1:18 (ESV) For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. The ability to believe comes from the Father...

2 Corinthians 1:21-22 NASB Now He who (1) establishes us with you in Christ and (2) anointed us is God, who also (3) sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge. (1) God puts us people into Christ (2) God causes them to be born anew, the washing of regeneration (3) God then...

Every once is a while, we find a blockbuster verse that conveys in ambiguity what we had not understood before our study of the verse. 1 Corinthians 1:30 is such a verse. Here is the NASB translation as footnoted and scrubbed of italic additions. But from Him you are in Christ Jesus, who...

Sorry, I'm just seeing this: What needs to be reconciled is "the Great Commission was given, specifically, to the eleven remaining disciples", because all of the Apostles/Disciples had died and gone on to be with The Lord, which in that specific case would have left no one on Earth with any...

The Grace of God is there for them, Christ died for their sins too! There are many reasons the lost reject the Gospel, I would say pride is the most prevalent.

Found this fine article from Reformation Today; Why Provisionism Is Not Biblical Provisionism, a view popularized by Leighton Flowers, teaches that God has made salvation available to everyone and that anyone can choose to respond to that provision by...

What effect does this supposed divine intervention have on those who are perishing? 1 Corinthians 1:18 (ESV) For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

To quote you "Yes, Christ died for ungodly sinners. That is descriptive of the elect whom He has redeemed from out of the world." Since we were all ungodly sinners prior to our salvation and as you said Christ died from those ungodly sinners and you have said He only died for the elect then that...

No, I do not believe in universalism. Everyone is an ungodly sinner, but only some of those ungodly sinners will be saved by God’s grace. You would even have to admit that's true if it depends on their own free will. God does only save those who believe in Him. That’s not even in dispute. What...

Every human is conceived in iniquity, in a sinful state, separated spiritually from God, rather than in union with God. This sinful separated state is described as being "dead in sins or trespasses," Ephesians 2:1. As conceived we are "in Adam" (1 Corinthians 15:22) also described as being "in...
