You do realize that context is not just a few verse on either side of a chosen verse. We have to consider the chapter the book and the whole NT or even the whole word of God. This is what you miss all the time BF. The Holy Spirit tells us we are saved by faith in the risen Christ and you say...

This what I wrote in post 183 "His death did not save anyone BF what it did was cover the sins of humanity His resurrection has made salvation possible form anyone that will freely trust in Him. Why do you have such a hard time accepting what the bible clearly teaches?" As I said please do...

Then prove me wrong and actually make your posts reflect the context.

Ten prove me wrong and actually look at the context when you post.

To quote you BF "But you said the Person and work of Christ saved no one !" That is not what I have ever said and you know it. This is just another example of where you misquote or twist words Please do not lie about what I have said BF. That is not very Christian of you. What I have said...

And your posts just confirm what I have said BF.

There you go again BF you are ignoring context. Eph 1:3-14 is one sentence in Greek and must be understood as such. Verse 4 does not tell us who but rather how one is saved. When we are in Christ and that only happen as we see in vs 13 by believing/faith in Him. God foreknows all those that will...

@Marooncat79 You keep saying that but your posts prove that you do ignore context and do read your calvinism into the words of God.

You say you were given faith to believe. So again you have to hope what you think you have is actually true and not just wishful thinking on your part. Those verses you quoted apply to all of us that have freely trusted in Christ for our salvation but have no meaning for the calvinist that...

That applies to us that have freely trusted in Him for our salvation Eph 2:8, but what do you base you hope on?

So once again you are 1] ignoring context John 3:14-17 and 2] reading your religious theory into the text {Sheep/Elect} As long as you keep doing this BF you will continue to make grievous errors when handling the word of God.

So BF same question for you, "How do you know you were picked out B4 creation"?

But why did He have mercy on your poor wicked soul since you did not even exist B4 creation? But the real question that you did not deal with is "how do you know that you were actually picked?" Calvinist theory says even the faith you have had to be given to you. And as Calvin rightly said it...

God must have seen something in you that would make Him pick you over all those other sinners. What is humbling about saying God pick me? Your just saying that God picked you B4 creation shows arrogance as you think you qualified to be picked, something made you standout. What was it?

Now you have stepped over the line Charlie. :Biggrin

There is your problem BF. You think you were chosen B4 the foundation of the world based on your faulty reading of God's word.

Au con-traire BF. I, unlike you, do not have to trust in a man-made religion. You have allowed the words of augustine, calvin and other calvinists to shape your religious views. When someone attempts to make the bible fit with their philosophy, as you do, then you know they have lost. The...

BF the more you post the more you prove that your theology is based on a man-made theory rather than the word of God.

BF you are abusing the word of God again in your attempt to make it fit your theory of salvation.

BF you know that is not what John 3:14-17 says but you will continue to say it because that is what your false theory of salvation requires that you say.
