Once again, a claim is made without any reference to scripture. Folks, ask this poster for all the verses where the word "appeasement" is said to be accomplished by Christ's sacrifice. See how many he provides. Bottom line, the noun forms of verb do not indicate an action being...

" if the manner of Christ's death would have been different (in any respect) would God have rejected His sacrifice for the sin of the world? Of course God would have accepted Christ's willing sacrifice of His life for the sin of the world, the just for the unjust. However, the manner of His...

If we look at just 1 John 2:2, we see various English translations rendering "hilasmos" G2434 usually as something that has accomplished something, rather than the means by which something might be accomplished. For example, several translations go with "atoning sacrifice" indicating the action...

Great observation! Thanks! Jesus said He had not "found" such great faith in Israel. Here the idea is to find by chance. Matthew 8:10 and Luke 7:9 also indicate Jesus marveled, or was surprised to find such great faith. But some reject the plain meaning, and claim Jesus expected to come...

We gain access to the grace of our salvation through faith. And that faith is according to our own conviction, rather than according to an outside influence. Romans 5:2, Romans 14:22

Why make such claims without citing any support from scripture? Did you define what "prepared beforehand" meant? Does this refer to being supposedly chosen before creation? If so, that is secretly introducing a destructive heresy Why introduce "according to His foreknowledge" without any...

Yes, when Paul refers to faith, he is referring to our faith and trust in the promises of God, which includes our heartfelt commitment to follow Christ. Lip-service faith or faith lacking actual deeply rooted commitment is not in view. In all 5 verses where the phrase "according to faith"...

The Greek preposition, Kata G2596 is used several times in conjunction with an individual's faith. Here are some of the verses, Matthew 9:29, Romans 14:22, Titus 1:4, Hebrews 11:7 and 11:13. Used literally to show direction, the preposition refers to being under something. Used...

Not sure if post #18 was in part addressing my objections. I agree with "Jesus died for our sin, and He was Himself sinless. The verse (1 Peter 2:24) which in most translations says Jesus "bore" our sins bodily, is the poor translation. Scripture does not actually say that. It says He...

PSA is false unbiblical nonsense.

No problem, seems to be based on specific scripture! Through Adam's sin, death entered humanity, and spread to all humans, for all have sinned in that all are conceived in a sinful separated state. Just as through the disobedience of one man, Adam, the many (those in Adam) were made sinners...

Several English translations of the Greek New Testament use the word "propitiation." The NASB uses the English word to translate G2434, a masculine noun, and G2435, a neuter noun. In 1 John 2:2 and 1 John 4:10 the masculine noun "hilasmos" is translated as "the propitiation" and footnoted as...

Scripture says no plan of God can be thwarted by humans. (Job 42:2). God's predetermined plan was to deliver His Lamb, Acts 2:23. Therefore the premise of question one is "what if scripture is not true?" In that case, we are in deep do-do. Second question, if the manner of Christ's death...

Yet another post addressing me. Nuff said. God can destroy, meaning end the existence of, the human soul in Gehenna. This is cogent. Next, the punishment for some will be more tolerable than others. Does this cogent poster deny this truth. Read the able and say yes or no.

While I have attended several churches of various denominations, Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian, Congregational, I have been a member of only two, Calvary Baptist Church of Long Beach California (still doing well under a new name) and the First Baptist Church in my town. Both taught the lost...

Once again these posters make another false claim. How many times will they shout taint so to hide the truth before they come to their senses. Lord knows... See post #43

Nothing in scripture precludes "Eternal Torment" of humans in the Lake of Fire. However, the concept that God's punishment fits the crime, some punishment is more tolerable than other, suggests that the torment will be limited so that someone who died in unbelief at an early age will not...

The phrase,"salvation is of the Jews," John 4:22 is better translated as "salvation is brought by the Jews" by means of the blessing promised to Abraham and fulfilled by Jesus Christ.

Pure fiction, as 1 John 2:2 clearly says Christ became the means of reconciliation. And Romans 5:10 refers to those living at the time of the writing who had been reconciled, it does not support the fiction that future believers were reconciled. Rather, God's word says God is reconciling...

When we look back on our individual lives, and ponder the influences that shaped our characteristics, people, books, films and particular studies come to mind. I took Chemistry and Physics in High School, so I have a so called "BS" meter that rejects much of what modern culture considers as...
