On and on, obfuscation after obfuscation. Everyone saved, transferred spiritually into Christ, has been, past tense, reconciled. For this poster to not know this par for the course. Note no mention of the verses that say God is reconciling, not has reconciled, the world, humanity. Nope, that...

Thanks, atpollard, I did not see even one point to nit-pick. :) Yes we were called out of darkness, because we then existed in the realm of darkness. I see a request was made for scriptural evidence the church, those called out, are "all" priests. It is stated in 1 Peter 2:5 that the "you"...

So you like to ask questions, but actually have nothing to support your bogus views? Irresistible grace, one of your bogus views is shown to be bogus by Matthew 23:13, where people were entering the kingdom, thus according to your view were under the influence of irresistible grace, the...

Folks, read 1 John 2:2. Did Christ become the means of reconciliation for the whole of humanity? Folks, read 2 Thessalonians 2:13, does God choose individuals for salvation through faith in the truth? Pay no attention to posters who simply proclaim this or that but cannot even cite a single...

Some define Soul Liberty as the liberty to believe whatever you want, as long as it isn't the Truth.

Sorry but 1 John 2:2 as translated by the NASB says Christ became the means of reconciliation. I have addressed both your points and you have ignored the enlightenment. Christ provides the means of reconciliation, and God chooses those to receive it based on crediting their faith as righteousness

"It's Vanology." Change of subject name calling is the trademark folks intent on tearing down rather than building up. Christ provides the means of reconciliation, and God chooses those to receive it based on crediting their faith as righteousness.

The concept of individual soul liberty says a person may believe all 5 points of the TULIP, or reject them. The TULIP says the lost are unable to seek God at any time, nor put their trust and devotion in Christ as Savior and Lord. Reformed Baptists have a version of the distinctive that does...

Interesting insight, Paleouss! The issue is clear, first an atoning sacrifice must be offered for all, and then, in order to "receive" the reconciliation provided by the sacrifice, the individual sinner must be "sprinkled" or more accurately "washed in the sacrificial blood." For Christianity...

Addressing the Title question, Nope, only one that is trustworthy and reliable. The opening post is gibberish, as if only the originals are inspired and inerrant, and we do not have them, then we cannot know how close our copies come to that criteria. However, again relying of scripture, we...

Distinctive is an interesting term. Some Baptists believe in a list, but other Baptists believe in another list. For example Soul Liberty. The idea is that the lost are able to seek God and trust in Christ, as far as General Baptists are concerned,. However, a careful reading the distinctive...

"Is writing lyrical prose a sin?" Since the Bible contains, according to scholars, many "forms" of writing, I doubt that any form of writing would be judged a sin on that basis alone. Rather any form of writing that conveys Truth, and helps to evangelize and edify would seem to be in the will...

"I am limited by the literal meaning of the words. For example, following the standards of normal grammar, lexical meaning, historical setting, etc. I am bound to teach that Christ will reign for 1,000 years at the Second coming, not anything less or more." Thanks, KUWN, it is important that we...

Everyone should understand how important it is for Bible Believers to accurately understand what the Bible is saying. When we think a word, as translated, means "A" but actually means "B" we have turned away from Truth. That is why we are to study or be diligent so we can accurately handle...

My favorite John Wayne Westerns: 1) Searchers (* Oscar level performance) 2) Stagecoach 3) Hondo 4) Rio Bravo 5) Red River 6) True Grit (* Oscar Level Performance) 7) John Wayne and the Cowboys 8) The Angel and the Badman 9) Big Jake 10) The Shootist (* Oscar Level Performance)

We can understand every usage of G4560 (Romans 7:14, 1 Corinthians 3:1, 2 Corinthians 3:3 and Hebrews 7:16) to refer to unsaved, people in the natural non-indwelt state or to material physical unspiritual things. Romans 7:14 For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am unregenerate, under...

Our last Greek word in our family of "creation" words is "ktisma" G2938. We addressed two of the four usages in posts #6 and #11. That leaves the following two usages to complete our study of the family of "creation" words. Revelation 5:13 - At first glance, "every living thing created" seems...

I probably should not attempt to add to Salty's post as it nailed the topic. But the Bible does address the thread topic to a degree. Psalms 71:15 NASB My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the art of writing. Here it is clearly...

Turning now to Ktisis, G2937, here are the verses and the studied application of the female noun. Mark 10:6 - creation of humanity Mark 13:19 - creation of humanity Mark 16:15 - preach to human creatures Romans 1:20 - creation of humanity Romans 1:25 - creation of humanity and animals Romans...

To finish our study of the verb "Ktize" G2936, all three usages in Revelation 4:11 and 10:6 refer to God creating everything, rather than some subset.
