Featured Moving away from Doctrine? Maturity or Apostasy?

The twisting is done when you take that verse out of context.

 

Moving away from NON-SCRIPTURAL doctrine such as the preterism myth or the KJVO myth is always good, as such doctrines are false.

 

Then why do you do it?

 

I don't

 

Then perhaps the problem is that you do not have good reading comprehension skills? The text is really clear.

 

Yep. Happens to a whoooole lot of them:

How Should Arminians and Calvinists Approach One Another? | Baptist Christian Forums (baptistboard.com)

 

I quite agree with you, but I don't see that your point affects my post.
Perhaps you will explain further.

 

I fully agree that your PS Lite Theory is a false doctrine, but the Doctrine of Penal Substitution is correct, and your post has done absolutely nothing to prove otherwise.

 

Yes He did provide a way for our salvation through His death & resurrection. But I notice that you did not address the scripture that I quoted.

I agree there is no other way to be saved but by faith in Christ Jesus. Where the difference comes in is that you seem to think all the elect were saved at the cross but that is a error on your part. But it seems you have been determined to think that way.

 

The elect WERE all bought at the cross.

 

Then why preach? If you were one of the lucky ones that were elect, your saved if you missed the cut, your damned. Preaching the gospel will make no difference either way. So I ask again WHY PREACH?

 

How many times do we have to answer this? IT IS COMMANDED. The preaching, hearing, and belief in the Word is what God has prescribed for the election to be sealed.

 

But there is the fly in the ointment. Your theology as you just said requires all the elect to be bought/saved at the atonement. So why do you require the gospel to be preached. Do you think that your version of God does not know who He elected? According to your theology you even need God to give you faith. You really need to do a rethink on what your saying about the character of God.

By your logic God just picked out a group to save and then damned everyone else even though that is not what the bible says. The cognitive dissonance that I see displayed by the average Calvinist is to say the least mind boggling.

 

You quote 1Ti 1:9 but you overlook other verses such as
Eph 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,

Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

Joh 3:17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
Joh 3:18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Do you really think that little of God that you are willing to drag His character through the mud?

1Ti 2:3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
1Ti 2:4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

You want a God that only wants to save some while I worship the God that wants all to be saved and those that trust in His son will be. But the choice is theirs to make.

Eph_2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

 

That is EXACTLY what the Bible says. So take it up with God, not me.
