I would like to know why calvinists insist that those who believe that Jesus died for the sins for the WHOLE world, as the Bible very clearly states btw, are universalists? Jesus dying for the sins of the world doesn't mean that the whole world will be saved, what it means is that Jesus' death...

LOL, not even close to what I said.  My point was that one cannot divide God's attributes or character.  Jesus paid the penalty for everyone, period. 

Also, if man fell because God ordained him to, how could God be just in punishing him? Man fell because God gave him freewill to chose right and wrong.

  But you can't forget about God's perfect love for His creation, which is why He sent His Son to bear the sins of the world, even if only a fraction would be saved.  God is willing that NONE should perish but ALL would come to repentance....

Is God glorified by chosing someone to burn in hell? God created us for His good pleasure, do you really believe it pleases God to see people die seperated from Him? One cannot come to Christ without the Holy Spirit drawing him, (yet God has given us freewill to believe and receive the gift...

So PAul was only preaching to the "chosen"? I think not, if God picks and chooses who would be saved, there would be no need to go and preach the gospel to the world. Paul is urging these people to believe the gospel and receive Christ.

The Scriptural view of the atonement of Jesus's death is very clear, Jesus' death was sufficient to save everyone, but not all will be saved. How do you reconcile a God of love, who is love, and a just and holy God, with your view that God actually would choose to send people to hell, when in...

We will die physically, but no redeemed person will die in their sins, because they have been, well, redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus died so all could be saved, but only those who believe on Him, repent, and are born again will be saved, those who reject Jesus will die in their sins.

Sorry, but that is completely unbiblical and false. The Bible teaches that the soul that sins shall surely die. Those who die in their sins, shall be cast into hell eternally. Only those that believe on Jesus Christ and receive HIm as Lord will be saved. Narrow is the way to life and broad...

So do you deny that the NT is the word of God?

Christians will not go through The Tribulation, because The Tribulation is the pouring out of God's wrath, it is referred to as the testing that will come upon the inhabitants of the earth, in Rev. 3.  According to 1 Thess, we are not appointed to God's wrath.  Yes all Christians will...

  What exactly are you saying?  Those verses do not "prove" replacement theology.  Once again, we do not become Israel.  God is not through with the nation of Israel as scripture shows.  Simply look at the 144,000 from the 12 tribes in Revelation.  It is not a...

  I never said that Jesus healed only to show His power.  Yes He healed because He loved, but also to show who He was, so many would believe on Him. 

There is a difference between the nation of Israel and the body of Christ, the bride, the church. Within the body of Christ there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile, that is what was meant in that verse, it is not about the church becoming "spiritual Israel", as there is no...

I am very sorry for your loss. :( I will keep you and your family in my prayers.  May God bless you with His comfort, His peace, and His presence.

Absolutely beautiful GEL.
