It has, of course, absolutely sweet nothing to do with philosophy; it has to do with Scripture, specifically Romans 3:25-26. I understand that you are more comfortable talking about philosophy rather than Scripture, but, for the umpteenth time, the Scripture says that God set forth Christ as a...

I don't think it is. If we (you) think we agree on a passage yet we disagree on its meaning, the we don't agree on it qed. We need to tease out where and why we disagree. You keep going on about your 'philosophy of justice.' I am not interested in philosophy; I am interested in God's word...

Amen! Charles Wesley had some very hard things to say about Calvinism - all wrong of course, but Hey! No one's perfect - but he was a true man of God, and one of his hymns is a particular favourite of mine: 'Tis finished! The Messiah dies, Cut off for sins, but not His own; Accomplished is...

Absolutely! We should not be prevented from reading good books, either by a pride that will not let us consult those wiser than ourselves, or by foolish posters on this board who, pretending to be wise have become fools. Read constantly; read wisely, being careful what you receive as truth...

According to Reformed theology, a person' warrant to come to Christ is not that he thinks he is one of the elect, but because he is a sinner, and the Lord Jesus came, not to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance. I must say that I did not see in the O.P. anything like works religion...

In Psalm 119 there are eight words of which one appears in almost every verse. When I was preaching on the psalm a few years ago, I found this summary of the various meanings in a book called Bible Delight: Heartbeat of the Word of God )Christian Focus Books, 2008; ISBN 978-1-84550-360-4). I...

Hello @Ascetic X The text in question is Psalm 7:11. 'God is a just Judge; and God is angry with the wicked every day.' God is a Judge. A judge must judge according to the law. That is why I said that His wrath or anger is a legal wrath. Moreover, His anger is not a sudden surge of hostile...

Well, if nothing else I've got you to read Psalm 7. :Biggrin I don't really expect you to comprehend it.

Psalm 7:11.

There was a time when @JonC used to write reams of Scripture that had nothing to do with the issue without comment, and then pretend they did; but now he doesn't quote any Scripture but pretends that he draws all his philosophy from it. Sad!

I think you hve to add an "N" and make it "Neron Caesar to make it up to 666. Also, Nero didn't destroy Jerusalem, that was Titus. Nero was emperor when Rome was destroyed in 64 AD, and he blamed that on the Christians and persecuted them for it. However, there is no evidence that Nero...

What do these things actually mean to you? Why did Christ have to suffer and die if God can just ignore His own law and make us new creations without an atonement? Exactly what healing do we have by His stripes?

Deny what passages? As usual you don't quote any. You are denying 1 Corinthians 2:2, or at least you are trying to pretend it's not there. But of course we will be conformed into the image of Christ. We will be made new creations in Christ. We will have died to sin. We really will be made...

It is a possibility, but the Biblical data simply isn't there so anything I might post would be speculation. What we do know is that the devil seduced Adam and Eve into disobeying God, and that brought death upon them and all their posterity.

Hebrews 2:14. 'Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil.....' One purpose of the Lord Jesus in coming to the earth is revealed here: the...

More nonsense. People are justified (declared righteous) through the cross, and in no other way. Why do you think Paul declared to the Corinthian Christians, 'for I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.'

If you have, it doesn't show, and you don't show it by actually referencing the Bible Where? In Romans 3:21? That is a very superficial understanding of the verse unless you explain it properly and include verse 31 in your exposition. To try and separate God's word from God's law is not as...

:rolleyes: Just read your Bible.

Nonsense! If I were to say that dying was the propitiation for sin, you might have a point. But God Himself set Christ forth as a propitiation for sins in Christ's blood, so we can be sure that His blood will propitiate God. Otherwise we can not trust God in anything. It doesn't really...

If Christ is the propitiation for all human sin, then God is propitiated in respect of all human sin. Otherwise Christ's propitiation has failed to propitiate God, which seems unlikely. Just saying.
