I answer you from Paul: "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who...

no "cop out". Can you tell me how it is possible for Jesus to command the preaching of the Gospel of salvation from sins to "every human being", as in Mark 16:15, which is also accepted by Calvinists; and yet say that these same people who hear this Good News, are not allowed to believe, because...

It does not read that in the Greek text. "ἔδωκεν", does not here mean "to give someone something they did not possess already", but, as used by Homer in the Greek, "to permit something to be done". As verse 27 says, "And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of...

You have my response

Both. Christ has made the Atonement, and the sinner needs to go to Him in repentance to accept this.

Jesus Christ is called "Yahweh" in the Bible a few times. The Name in the Hebrew means "one who is eternal and self-existent". The Father is also called Yahweh. In fact, in Genesis 19:24, we have Two Persons Who are called Yahweh in the same verse. One on earth and the other in heaven!

I see no problem. You are trying to create one that says something that the Bible does not. God indeed is Sovereign, but has chosen in His Wisdom to use the foolishness of preaching to save those that believe. Man who is created with a free-will by God to either accept or reject the Gospel, must...

Are you saying that Jesus Christ is not fully God, that He as God is not "co-equal, co-eternal, co-essential" to the Father, that Jesus does not possess life in Himself as Almighty God, and that He is not the actual creator of the universe? If so, then you have a Bible that teaches a different...

Listen to the sick stuff some say about God and the lost in hell: "One student asked Dr. Gerstner, “How can I be happy in heaven if I’m aware that one of my loved ones is in hell?” Dr. Gerstner responded: “Don’t you know that when you are in heaven you will be so sanctified that you could look...

My friend, it is like a doctor that has the cure for your ailment. Unless you go to him and take it and use it, you will not get better. Jesus has paid the price once for all, for the sins of mankind, which are only "applied" to the repentant sinner

Sorry I did not know this

For some reason if the thread is too long, it won't allow me to post it. I tried and could not.

I am not shamed to say as a over 55 man, that i have spent many hours in tears for the lost, especially for dear ones close to me, who cannot see the urgent need to repent and believe the Gospel. How my heart wishes this doctrine were not true.

Jon, I hope you don't mind me saying something here, as you are addressing someone else? If you were to read the Gospels, like Mark 9:42-50, you will see that Jesus Himself preached "fiery sermons", which are indeed needed. They are not to "scare" anyone, but as a grave warning because of the...

It has been paid for by Jesus Christ dying on the cross for a world of lost sinners, like you and I. It is only after a sinner confesses their sins, and accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour and Lord, that they can be forgiven. Jesus Himself says in Luke 13, "But unless you...

This is a study for new believers and non believers who use this site

It is a long study!

Hell is a literal place, where the unsaved will suffer eternal punishment. However, these is no way of saying from the teaching in the Bible, that the terms like "fire" are literal, or metaphorical. Again I say that this is the saddest doctrine in the whole Bible.

One of the main problems that Calvinism has, as I have found over the years through many conversations. This they believe that Mark 16:15, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.", means just that. The Gospel message is to be given to every human being, "without exception"...
