So now we have insults because you reject the Truth. If you dont believe the Truths of TULIP what they scripturally represent, you are in unbelief and dont believe the Gospel !

Too bad for the early church and everyone up to Calvin in 1564. None had the truth according to your Satanic Majesty.

"Am I of Paul? Am I of Apollos?, nay, I am of Calvin, the murderer of the brethren."

Still ignoring that little word IF I see.

Care to respond on your leader?

His fruits?

Of course not, that might expose you.

Your TULIP is wilting.

Whats to bad is that you dont believe the Gospel and dismiss it in the name of a man !

And Yes, The Gospel is hid and that permanently to them that are Lost ! 2 Cor 4:3

3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

Trying to hide behind the word if is not going to change the Truth stated about the Lost !

Take it apart and consider

3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

When you read this without the IF, it becomes:

But our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

This now takes on the meaning that the gospel is hidden to all people that are lost.

Everyone is lost before they hear the Gospel: "and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?"

When you read it as written:

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

"them that are lost" refers to a certain group of people. They are identified in the next line:

" In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,.."

"them which believe not"

Referring back to Romans "and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?" also is equivocally saying "how shall they not believe of whom they have not heard"


The same can be seen in "the glass is half full" as an equal statement to "the glass is half empty"

You are saying SBM, that God hid the Gospel from "them which believe not" as if they have NEVER heard it.

That is an untrue assumption revealed in Romans with "how shall they not believe of whom they have not heard"

By taking out or ignoring the IF, you have crafted the scripture to fit Calvinism.

Thats a Lie, not one scripture says that, also, if you believe that, you believe that Christ's Death alone saved no one from the penalty of their sins !

Thats Right, the saved cannot know and believe they are saved and why until they hear the Gospel of their Salvation !

Those who are Lost have no salvation, thats why they are Lost DUH !

"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."

If the world is not saved, they are lost. The word "might" implies the world has a chance, an option, a choice.

Preaching has a purpose for Lost People too ! God's Word always fulfills His Purpose for which it was sent Isa 55:11

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
This is not the truth according to your own theology. Preaching has no purpose for the lost people. They are damned from all eternity. Their fate was sealed before the foundation of the earth. Why preach to them the gospel. It is cruel to preach to a people who cannot hear the gospel, understand the gospel, and at the end, even if they could understand it and believe it, would find out that they are eternally condemned to the Lake of Fire anyway.
It is more than just a joke. It is the most cruel religion drawn up by Satan that denies the love of God who states in no uncertain terms "I love thee with an everlasting love," "He so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son," "He came not to condemn the world, but to save.."
He came to seek and to save that which was lost.

Over and over again Christ extends his invitation, a very loving invitation to the lost.
He wept over Jerusalem, not just the elect in Jerusalem, but ALL who were in Jerusalem. Surely not ALL that were in Jerusalem were the elect of God. Some of them were the very ones that crucified him. Yet he wept over them in love.
God is a God of love, whom the Calvinists portray as a God of cruelty.

14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.



The sequence of events is quite clear:
1. A preacher must be sent to preach the word
2. The Lost need to hear the preached Word of God
3. The Lost then need to believe in Him
4. The Lost must then call upon Him
5. Believing in the heart and confessing with the mouth

I like the NASB in Rom 10:8-11
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,
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;
10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.”

You ignoring the fact that Christ's death saved those He died for ! Thats a grave thing !

Tell less stories -- read more Bible --

[FONT=&quot]1 Tim 1[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]12 [/FONT][FONT=&quot]I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service,[/FONT][FONT=&quot] 13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; 14 and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. 15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. 16 Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life. 17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.[/FONT]

That is not helpful in the discussion. Christian courtesy and respect is the better road.

"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."

If the world is not saved, they are lost. The word "might" implies the world has a chance, an option, a choice.

Again you dont believe that Christ's death alone saved them He died for from the penalty of their sins !

Thats a lie, the word might used with the word hina That denotes a stated purpose . The conjunction hina :

in order that, so that.,
hína (a subordinating conjunction) – for the purpose that (in order that), looking to the aim (intended result) of the verbal idea. 2443 /hína ("for the purpose that") is "the semantically marked (dramatic) way of expressing purpose in Greek

That was God's Purpose behind sending Christ, to save it, not to give folk a choice, a chance, an option ! Thats not what Jn 3:17 says, you outright lied, made a false statement ! You probably been doing it for years, so its premeditated !

If the world is not saved, they are lost.

Nah, it was Lost, for Christ came to seek and to save it remember ? Lk 19:10

Now do you believe Christ was 100 % successful in seeking and saving that world He was suppose to save in Jn 3:17 ? Yes or No ?

Evasion and now deceit and misrepresentation !
That statement is an admission that you are unable to face the truth that I posted, the refutation of your post. You are unable to accept it. You cannot deny these facts. Therefore you simply and anemically reply "evasion..."
It is a cowardly answer that says: "I don't know how to answer your post."
Pitiful!

your statement shows that you are still confused about what the Atoning Sacrifice of Christ is -- in the context of Atonement itself.

Hence you have to keep running away from all those texts showing that Christ is working to save the Lost - lamenting when they reject the gospel and asking "what more could I have done".

As we are given the ministry of reconciliation in this fashion "We BEG YOU on behalf of CHRIST - be reconciled TO God" 2Cor 5.

in Christ,

Bob
