Well, unless you only committed one sin, you'd run out of lives to give, seeing as how the penalty for each act of cosmic treason is death. Then again, your death would only pay for the inherited guilt of original sin so you wouldn't even have a life to atone for any of your own personally...

Well, Mr. Cappy Caps, let me clarify. When I said "God accepts less than perfection," that was my way of saying, "The reason that God doesn't immediately smite someone for sinning is because He's merciful." Though I think what most of you and Jason are posting is heretical nonsense, I do agree...

Scary, huh? That such a huge contingent of Christianity would be so utterly wrong about salvation...it blows the mind. And for the record, Calvinists don't see salvation as "an offer."

Yes...the biblical way. I'm sure this is a jab at me but I can't see how anything I said reflected partialism. Maybe you could elaborate.

All people who are justified are justified because God reckoned them righteous because of the vicarious atonement of Christ Jesus. You speak of "obedient faith" as if it's a locket you wear around your neck. Faith (and obedient faith is the only kind of faith as all others are something other...

Okay, so, I'm not sure why you quote my question and then change it and then answer the changed version of the question. I am aware of God's omniscience. I am not asking whether God is surprised by man's disobedience. I asked whether He demands obedience. Abraham, and David, were justified...

The misinformation in your post is almost impressive. I'll try to wade through it. No. Obviously not. What I actually said was (you'd realize this if you weren't bent set on trying to find fault in my posts), people who believe as I believe assume everyone we come in contact is the elect of...

Taking into account your history of trying to bait people by asking gotcha style questions, I'll pass on the first question. I'm sure answering it would be a waste of time. As to how I define faith, I will simply say, true saving faith, that which James describes, is marked by a knowledge of...

Did I confuse you by using big boy words? Here's my answer from when you first asked this stupid question: "I've never espoused the vile belief of antinomianism, nor has anything I've said even vaguely resembled such a view." Now, I can understand how that answer might have thrown you off...

Your faith better be in the efficacy of Christ's work and God's promise to reckon you righteous on that basis. No. You are saved by grace through faith. Faith is the vehicle through which God dispenses His saving grace.

If this alone doesn't tell you that such a view of God should be placed in the round file, nothing will. Good luck with that pitiful non-god you worship. I'll continue to trust that nothing happens apart from the will of God. Sovereignty has meaning for me. For you it may as well be a sno-cone...

And for the record, reformed theology IS a different faith...than the man centered nonsense peddled from the pulpit in most mainstream evangelical churches. It's the biblical faith.

The only time I've ever heard a reformed Christian refer to themselves as anything other than simply a Christian is when they're discussing theological issues with a semi-Pelagian Christian like yourself. More often than not, someone recognizes something we say as being identified with the...

Lol! I always find it very telling when some armchair theologian comes along and makes a comment like this. "You take the word of these learned biblical scholars over the Word of God!" No...we recognize the credibility of these people to properly understand and convey the Word of God. You sit...

So what is the object of our faith that serves as the meritorious basis for our justification?
