Jon, I don't think that even Calvinists or Reformers actually know what they believe! Take a look at what I have copied from the Reformed.org website: "Limited Atonement (Particular Redemption) Limited Atonement is a doctrine offered in answer to the question, "for whose sins did Christ atone?"...

Mrs White was a rank heretic!

Yes I know, but the LXX itself was made directly from Hebrew manuscripts that are different to the MT Hebrew text, but closer to the Dead Sea Scrolls. It is very probable that the NT writers used this Hebrew "version", than the LXX, which would have been identical.

How about you learning for once? You say that Jesus "atoned" only for believers? The Bible teaches different. 1 John 2:2 very clearly states that Jesus is the "ἱλασμός" for the entire world, where Liddell and Scott in their Greek lexicon, define this noun as "ATONEMENT, sin offering". The LXX...

"Jesus died to save those who believe", yes, but NOT only, as John 3:16, which is about God's love and salvation, very clearly shows.

or simply pointing out some of the errors of "Calvinism", which bears the name of John Calvin, who actually believes that Jesus died for "everyone without exception", and not just the "elect", as his own comments on John 3:16, Mark 14:24, etc, show.

only in the minds of the "elect"!

Are you saying that it is "difficult" for Isaiah 7:14 to refer to the Birth of Jesus Christ, or simply mentioning this as an issue for some?

As I have already said. In quotations of OT Prophecy in the NT, the words before and after do not necessarily have anyting to do with what is quoted in the NT. Like Hebrews 1:5, which is quoted from 2 Samuel 7:14, where only the quoted words in the Hebrews text, actually refer to Jesus Christ...

There is no solid evidence that the New Testament writers actually quoted directly from the LXX. This is only a translation and therefore not Inspired as the Hebrew Old Testament is, and it causes the problem of having uninspired references in the divinely Inspired New Testament, especially when...

That is where you are WRONG. The RSV was with the intention, being based on the earlier RV of 1881, which had Unitarians like G Vance Smith in the UK, and Joseph Thayer (of the Lexicon), in the USA, on their committees. These made sure that texts like 1 Timothy 3:16, which read in the BEST...

There you go again! You make statements that are completely wrong. Did you even bother to read the 6 or 7 examples that I have shown why this version is heretical?

Hebrews 1:5 is an Old Testament Prophecy of Jesus Christ, which is from 2 Samuel 7:14. Would you say that the words that follow in the 2 Samuel text, also apply to Jesus Christ? ONLY what is quoted by Matthew (and elsewhere) from Isaiah, is relevant for what is being said. What precedes and...

If you look back, you can read what I have said on this version

So, what of Isaiah 9:6, do you think this refers to Jesus Christ, or maybe Isaiah or someone else? Note what it says: "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The...

then you can check me out and see what I say and then comment it you like, http://www.trinitystudies.org/Jesus/isaiah7-14.pdf

ONLY the words that are quoted in Prophecy are relevant to the writer, like Matthew. the surrounding words may have nothing to do with what is included in this Prophecy. Hebrews 1:5 reads, ""and again, I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son", which is quoted from 2 Samuel 7:14...

any sinner who is under the conviction of the Holy Spirit, can indeed respond to this, and repent and believe in the Gospel. No person can ever come on their own, but need the Holy Spirit to work in them before the repent and believe.

your evidence for this is? Isaiah 7:14 clearly says that THIS child will be "עִמָּ֥נוּ אֵֽל", IMMANUEL, which is "GOD WITH US", in the literal sense. Matthew, writing under the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit, says that this is ONLY fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ. Who do you think is right...

firstly, people like you are wrong to assume that Isaiah 7:14 refers to the birth of any child other than the Lord Jesus Christ. Can you show WHERE either of Isaiah's two sons was ever called עִמָּ֥נוּ אֵֽל? I see the Apostle Matthew, in his Gospel, say of that Jesus is, "Ἐμμανουήλ", Who is "God...
