    Re-introduction

    It's a shame that there is indeed nowhere for me (ie non-Christians) to post.

    Thanks :) I tried the Christian Apologetics Center link but get: 'You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.'

    Re-introduction

    Hi - just re-introducing myself after a long hiatus. Wanted to ask why the Christian Apologetics forum is now closed? Is there an alternative forum for such debates? Jan

    Is the Gospel undefinable?

    No response? CF tells unbelievers about an offer of salvation but allows those that say Christ did not die for everyone to post on the Christians only forums? Allows them to post that God had every right to choose and exclude from a totally depraved mass of humanity?

    The page also has this: The Gospel is the Good News that, because of what Christ has done, we can be forgiven and can live forever. No Calvinist (no consistent Calvinist) would say that to an unbeliever.

    Is the Gospel undefinable?

    The christianforums.com (CF) page - How do I become a Christian? has this: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." --Romans 5:8 (NIV) So it would seem that CF is telling unbelievers that Christ died for them.

    Is the Gospel undefinable?

    Of course there will be a consensus if an abstraction such as 'world' is used - but as soon as you try to define it then the problems begin. Defining the Gospel should be simple - and Paul does so in 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, but as we have seen on this thread, some Christians (as CF defines them)...

    Is the Gospel undefinable?

    So to an unbeliever asking what the good news is, the response is that there's no consensus? Isn't this shocking?

    Is the Gospel undefinable?

    "CF doesn’t have an official statement on the Gospel. Trying to come up with one, knowing that there are many faith groups, would be difficult. Even though we pretty much all believe that faith in Christ is necessary, whether or not it’s sufficient is where a lot of disagreement comes in."...

    Is the Gospel undefinable?

    Christianforums.com (CF) treats both Arminians and Calvinists as Christians (as long as CF's statement of faith is acknowledged (it being the Nicene Creed)), which means that, de facto (i.e. when the Calvin Gospel is scrutinized), two diametrically opposing Gospels are permitted to be broadcast...

    Is the Gospel undefinable?

    What would be your response if you overheard a preacher telling a non-believer that not all people are salvifically provided for?

    Is the Gospel undefinable?

    Yet Calvinists are emboldened by such language - they still call themselves Christians and, when interrogated, their Gospel is found to be in complete opposition to the Arminian Gospel. What's the unbeliever supposed to make of such confusion?
