I note that you did not even bother to address the pagan views that Augustine brought into the church and which your calvinism still promotes. Yes we do need to judge Augustine by what he wrote which is just what Dr. Wilson and many other scholars have done. If Augustine had not run back to...

Martin you are ignoring historical facts. Do your own research if you think I am wrong. Your claims mean nothing if you cannot back them up. Martin I am just responding to the errors that we see in calvinism. The calvinist DoG/TULIP is not biblical as has been pointed out on this board many...

As I see it the only way a Calvinist can preach the biblical truth of salvation is to preach as an Arminian. They would have to preach that the gospel is the power of God for salvation to all that freely believe, that if they confess with their mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in their heart...

What snide remarks Martin? The fact is that the basis of calvinism is Augustine's pagan philosophy. If you knew your bible you would realize that pagan philosophy does not align with scripture. I would seem that you think the proper way to understand scripture is to make scripture support...

So would prefer to be called an Augustinian as that is the foundation of the false teachings that have come down to modern day calvinists through Calvin. Augustine ran back to the pagan teachings he had held and incorporated them into his teaching which Calvin later picked up and have been...

God saves but the question is why does He save one person and not another? If we go by your view then it is based on the whim of God, an arbitrary choice. Is that what you are saying? If there is no condition for ones salvation except God's choice of whom He will save and He could have saved...

So you are actually a calvinist but do not like the label, got it. So He is also responsible for all those He has predestined for damnation. That's quite the loving God you follow. Yes I know what Rom 3 is about but it is clear that you have misunderstood Rom 9. It is the line through which...

I agree that the Greek word kosmos can, and usually does, mean a whole lot more that simply 'all the people in the world.' and that is why we need to look at the context where the word is used. That is why I posted the WSD. What I find is that some of a certain particular slant will be...

You comment that Rom 9 isa continuation of Rom 8 does not answwer that question I asked. "Would you care to explain how Rom 9:11 fits God foreknowing who will trust and those that will reject Him?" When you read Rom 9-11 you see that Paul is now focused on the Jews and their history and future...

I se that you as BF read into the text what you need to find rather than trust what the word of God actually tells us. "But also for the sins of the whole world." The phrase “the sins of” is not in the original, but is not improperly supplied, for the connection demands it. This is one of the...

BF I have read enough of your posts to say without a doubt that what you post is a twisted version of biblical truth.

BF you are funny. Now your claiming that the bible teaches universalism, you have really lost it my man. You continue to disagree with the word of God and then claim that what you are preaching is biblical.

So you disagree with the word of God. Gal 2:16 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works...

Part # 2 The Complete WordStudy Dictionary World G2889 (III) Idiomatic expressions with kósmos: (A) A rhetorical expression for the great majority of people in a particular place (Joh_12:19). (B) Almost equivalent to the modern phrase "the public" (Joh_7:4 [cf. Joh_18:20]). (C) Means of...

Martin you are making the assumption as to what I think. I look at the context which is something that calvinist it would seem do not do. 1Jn 2:2 He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for ********* the whole world. So does taking the words 'the sins...

So your telling me that you disagree with the clear word of God. How stubborn can one person be? You are so committed to your false religion that you will deny the word of God.

Because the whole world has been reconciled through the death of Christ. 1Jn 2:2 He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 2Co_5:19 that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses...

Eph 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, God saves those that have trusted in Him. Rom 10:13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from...

BF you can take scripture out of context until the cows come home but it will not change the fact that no one is elect until they are in Christ through faith. No one was saved before creation as you seem to think. It is sad to see someone who says they preach God's word show such a lack of...

BF you are being less than honest now. Why do you make such dishonest statements. How many times do I have to say that the death of Christ made salvation possible but it is trust in the risen Christ that brings about our salvation? How many times have I quoted scripture? You seem to be...
