1 Corinthians 15:3 NASB For I handed down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, Here Paul tells us that the most important aspect of Christ's gospel is that Christ was slain to pay our debt due to sin.

Isiah 53:5 NASB But He was pierced for our offenses, He was crushed for our wrongdoings; The punishment for our well-being was laid upon Him, And by His wounds we are healed. If we use the context of the NT, we might understand its meaning thus: But our Savior was punished for our offenses...

We can find differing opinions about just what beliefs or practices causedJesus to hate them, Revelation 2:6. I believe mistreatment of the laity by teaching from authority things that dupe people into unfaithful practices describes the Nicolaitian sin. Similar to Balaam, the Nicolaitians put...

Note yet another diversionary post, changing the subject to my behavior, rather to address the thread topic. The false claims include I do not quote scripture. See post #6. Then the claim they do not mean what they say, such as God chooses people through faith in the truth. Why do these...

As usual, we get a diversionary post, changing the subject to my supposed behavior, rather than the topic. It is so old... Did I provide blurbs relating the doctrines held by the first traditional baptist church, and the first Particular Baptist church? Yes. So the nobody but Van knows what...

Of course you can believe "Soul Liberty" means the lost are not at liberty to obtain salvation by grace through faith, because the outcome of their lives was pre-determined before the foundation of the world. Not what scripture teaches as held by traditional baptists. Of course you can believe...

Bottom line I did not find an explicit quote for either R. C. Sproul or John MacArthur, but I did from Leslie Schmucker. I think the issue should be did Jesus talk about Hades and Gehenna, the Lake of Fire and Eternal Punishment more than the others whose words are presented in the New Testament.

Here is John MacArthur saying Jesus spoke about "hell" more than all the others combined.

The first English speaking Baptist church was established in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in 1609 by English Dissenters who had fled persecution by the Church of England, using the power of the state under King James I. The first "Particular Baptist church was established in 1638 in London, England...

Were all the references spoken by Jesus? No, I disagree that only what Jesus is recorded as saying is the context. All of the NT was inspired, thus for us to use in our ministry for Christ. But we agree, our witness must include our warning to the lost concerning the "Second Death." This...

I found about 12 places where Gehenna is used in the NT, and about 11 places where Hades is used in the NT. Additionally, I found about 10 places where "abyss" is used in the NT. Also note that "fire" is often used to refer to an aspect of the end of the life of the lost. I would guess, "fire"...

Romans 4:5? 2 Thessalonians 2:13? Luke 13:24? 1 Timothy 2:6? Matthew 23:13?

James 2:1 NKJV My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. The Greek word translated as "partiality" is "prosōpolēmpsia" (G4382). Various English translations generally agree the idea is to judge others based on...

Yes, man-made traditions becoming the lens by which scripture is interpreted. Top-down to the core. The gift of faith, rather than God crediting our faith. Chosen unconditionally rather than chosen through faith in the truth. No lost person seeks God, rather than many seek the narrow door...

Every human is conceived in iniquity, in a sinful state, separated spiritually from God, rather than in union with God. This sinful separated state is described as being "dead in sins or trespasses," Ephesians 2:1. As conceived we are "in Adam" (1 Corinthians 15:22) also described as being "in...

Did Christ die for all, or just a per-selected few? General Atonement or Particular Atonement. The OP clearly presents scripture indicating Jesus died for all mankind. On the other side of the Ledger, we have Christ died for the church, with the interpretation He died only for the church...

In opposition to "Soul Liberty" and the opportunity of the lost to obtain salvation by grace through faith, are the beliefs of John Spilsbury, who founded the first "Particular Baptist" church in 1638. In a nutshell, here is his "Reformed or Particular" view: I believe God out of the counsel...

Traditional Baptist churches "separated" from a church organization that was "top down" with the hierarchy dictating doctrine, and formed churches that were autonomous, adhering to doctrines consistent with their understanding of scripture. Also, along this line, were folks who thought the...

Here is a question that I expect no "Reformed Baptist" will answer: What are the distinctives that differ between a "Reformed" believer and a "Reformed Baptist" believer? 1) Not all Reformed Churches adhere to infant baptism, some to only believer's baptism. For example, John MacArthur, John...

Sir, it is pointless to continue. I post "A" and you claim the post said "B."
