How did you come to the conclusion that the disciples would be lying? I don’t feel the need to “compel” anyone into believing, as if I’m trying to sell a product. We preach the Gospel to every creature and if they believe, that’s because God has chosen to save them.

I understand Jesus’ statement to be the reason why some believe and others do not. They have to be given to the Son by the Father before they can come to Him.

It does not affect what scripture intends to communicate.

Sorry, but I don’t think it’s reasonable to connect passages in James to Revelation like he’s doing.

Matthew 1:21 - And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. I understand the text to mean that Jesus will accomplish the task of saving His people. I don’t understand it to mean that He makes people saveable.

What are your thoughts on James 2?

I don’t think Calvin claimed there were “errors,” but rather he recognized the presence of textual variants, as would be the case with any serious Bible scholar.

Hello! I finally decided to join after lurking for a while. I’m happy to be here, and I look forward to many fruitful discussions.
