Like I tried to share with you, that was all about the OC relationship, and it is not at all how the NC relationship works after Christ institutes it in His shed blood. AND Christ was not talking to the world, just the jewish people who rejected Him.

Christ tells the ones He has chosen, that they are not of the world, they have been taken out of the world and will not come under judgement of God. Christ tells us that those of the world hate him and do not believe. Christ tells us the ones God has chosen are blessed of His Father And that the...

I can look at Acts 17 and see God commands all men everywhere to repent and believe in the gospel, but this does not imply anymore than a command to all repent, where is the desire? The reason Paul says God gives this command is right here, 30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked...

Sorry that you believe Devil's tares can turn into the good seed (which is planted by Christ), on their own ? How would they do such a thing? By good works? By whose definition would be these good works. Scripture is clear, we are are not saved by works at all. The non elect can not believe in...

Of course God the Father has chosen to destroy those who do not believe, Christ is also weeping towards this people who have continually resisted the Holy Spirit, 'all day long' and they are enemies of the gospel, but beloved because of the fathers,we see Christ's humanity in this. It is why...

The parable of the Tares and the Wheat describe spiritual truth we are best to pay attention too. Christ does nothing for the Tares, they do use up the ground intended for the wheal to grow and bear fruit, I see no kindness to the tares in anything Christ says. 24 Another parable He put forth...

Why then does Christ tell us this about these unbelievers who are troubling Him and His disciples? 12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” 13 But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not...

Them in this verse refers to the people which is the church, it is not speaking specifically of false teachers as they are not of the church. The people, the 'you' are the ones bought by the Lord with His blood. 2 But there were also false prophets among the people, (the church), even as there...

The firstborn of all would die, infact if you read it, every first born either of man or beast died. This passover points to the future sacrifice Of God's Son, the Christ. So yes it points to the atoning sacrifice of Christ. Colossians 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of...

'Yet, the difference is in terms of who was the applier of the blood. In the Exodus it was the humans, at the crucifixion it was God. The limited application by humans would not have been appropriate in also limiting the blood of God.' If God applied the blood to all of humankind, each and...

'The blood was splattered indiscriminately' Except it is not. The blood had to be applied to sanctify things. It was not random and indiscriminate. Exodus 24:8 And Moses took the [remaining half of the] blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant which the...

A commentary from the Reformation Study Bible 2:1 heresies. The Greek term at one time referred to groups or sects in a neutral sense (cf. “sect,” Acts 24:5). It was used by Paul of divisive groups (1 Cor. 11:19; Gal. 5:20), and it came to denote the specific teachings of such groups. Here...

Since you have shown your opinion here, and to better understand the points your arguing in favor of, your views, what is your opinion on the atonement, is it universal atonement, or limited atonement?

This here well describes these people who were 'bought' further down in Peter's description of them. 2 Peter 2 20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end...

If Christ 'bought' these false prophets and false teachers, as they are then His prized possession, how did Christ then lose them. That is against scripture also, Christ does not lose anyone He paid for with His blood, unless you believe Christ can lose people He has saved. Meaning salvation can...

Truths about the sheep See your holding onto a singe word in a verse, but your interpretation does not hold with what Christ teaches about the sheep. As Christ is the Master here, then what Christ said is the truth and what Peter wrote has to agree with what Christ teaches, or your...

Denying The Lord That Bought Them | Standard Bearer Anyone who is curious about this should realize Christ does not give eternal life and then take it away. So if Christ bought them with His blood then they are His own possession, His sheep, and your preaching a universal atonement. The problem...

Yes, the wisdom is dont build your doctrine on a single verse.

The linked article describes this, did you look at it? Jude v4 is the same kind of verse, Jude is speaking of apostates, so then also likely Peter is also speaking of apostates. So these would be false brethren who have infiltrated the church and to church people they would be viewing them as...

I am very glad God raised up Calvin, Luther and the other reformers. The dream of the roaring lion of The Elector Frederick the Wise The Elector Frederick the Wise
