Yes it does. The instructor knew from the actions of the student he would not meet the required standard. Although in this example the instructor did not know what the actions of the student would be from the very beginning, but did know before the student. The instructor knew beforehand he...

Here's the thing, Layman. God knows through His foreknowledge everyone who will be born into this world, He knows who will be saved and who will not before they are born. God has not predestined the individual to be saved, as far as who will or will not be saved, He has predestined man to a...

One last thing and I'll let it go. When Christ was the satisfaction for our sins, he did NOT forgive sins, He covered them. If man dies in this life without repenting by faith in Christ, he will die in his sins.

This is the basis for hearing some say that man is not sent to Hell for his sins, they were covered by Christ, man is sent to Hell because he did not repent by faith in Christ, the only way to escape.

I'm sure you've heard the phrase, "sin was covered by Christ." This is the satisfaction for our sins to the Father (taking our sins out of the way) that made it possible for us to be saved by grace through faith

Let me see if I can hopefully clarify the meaning of propitiation/satisfaction, at leas to where you can see how I see it. Paul told us that we are dead in trespass and sins, no man seeks after God. This is where John Calvin gave birth to the Total Depravity. When Christ died on the Cross...

At least I know who I am now, thanks.

Good morning, Z.

If you consider that an insult, I guess that's what I did.

"Whosoever will let him come..." That's the God I know, love. and serve.

Personally, and I'm dead serious, I have no time for a Calvinist God, I would rather be separated from Him. But that is not the God I know.

Yes, that's a sad fact! We can certainly agree on that.

Now you're no longer a target. That should feel good!

I know it's a tough concept for a Calvinist, but Christ was the satisfaction for "our sins" (the saved) and also the sins of the whole world (including the lost). It's been said that the satisfaction for sin is as wide as the sin. If man does not benefit from this satisfaction provided by...

There are tons of Greek words that have several meanings and must be applied to the context of Scripture to understand its exact meaning. "World" is definitely one of them. But there can be no mistake in 1 John 2:2, "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for...

What I'm seeing is a maybe on the cease fire, with Iran claiming victory. LOL

It's a shame we're divided over these things, seeing that all of us claim Christ as our Savior. I suppose Christ spoke a mouthful when He said He came not to bring peace, but a sword. The Church should be a family of believers in one accord, but we are far from that.

That's the heart of Calvinism's fault, God does not always get His way with fallen man. That should first be noticed in the Garden with Adam and Eve.

I suppose when history is convenient, it's more favorable.

We're talking about Calvinism, it evolved over time from paganism. Augustine took a thought from Plato, and Calvin finished what Augustine started. The result is what we know today as Calvinism.
