FreeGrace2, what kind of doctorate do you hold, what field? You still haven't answered the question. Secondly, I asked you to give me a statement that Paul said "Christ died for YOU" second person SINGULAR.... "OUR" is FIRST PERSON Plural.... I told you that you won't find one. ;-) So, can...

Yes, I remember your misunderstanding of that.... You really should take a Hermeneutics class. So... what kind of doctor are you? I see you don't have anything on your personal data .... Could you please, if you want to make the author to say the the idea of the context is EVERYONE, could you...

Funny, I didn't see a single-2nd person- personal pronoun in there ... I would think a doctor would be able to understand what that is...

It does not say that Christ atoned for every single individual. You are implying that.

Of course it's "no issue" because it falsifies your theology. The Gospel is for everybody because we do not know who the elect are, but God does. I don't know how many times I've told you that. But because we are told to TELL everybody, it does not follow that means Christ died for everybody...

"That isn't the issue" is not an answer. The issue is "Is it lying to tell someone the gospel to someone who isn't 'elect' BECAUSE it isn't FOR them" ... The obvious point you are not addressing is your question applies to your theology and you don't have an answer for it! All you can say is...

Free Grace, You are only talking past me. These issues require hard, critical thinking. You have been given answers that fully answer your question, and so far, have not answered mine. Saying "There isn't any good news for those who reject it, just as it's bad news to throw away a priceless...

I did answer it, you just don't understand the concept. You fail to understand the concept and it's repercussions on the atonement and the work of salvation within the Trinity. You fail to recognize that we are to preach to everyone but you fail by making unsubstantiated assertions as to WHY...

And who are the ones that Christ didn't die for... what's their names? So that they would know to take it as "bad news'"?... You're arguing over a spiritual reality not a physical one. It is TRULY good news who hear it and believe it. I flip the question to you, how is it "good news" to those...

You are the one adding your presumptions, not I. By continuously giving the same unsupported assertion (they will turn... they can turn... )Is only a tautology. You are not supporting your assertion with any explicit, DIDACTIC verses! Do you know what explicit means? They will turn means...

Where in ANY of those verses does it say "man in their natural state has the ability to turn to God"? All you did is give indicative narrative that states WHAT happened, but not HOW spiritually things happened in order for those events to happen. You are IMPLYING your presupposition into the...

Dead IN sin and dead TO sin mean two different things "Boo Boo Bear"... keep your posts up so they can be cross examined. "Truth invites scrutiny; whereas, error runs from it".

too bad "boo boo bear" doesn't leave his posts up... guess he wants his opinion to be heard but not tested....

The problem is with that is that would make His purpose "impersonal" (purposing a plan) but God purposed to elect a PEOPLE, it is PERSONAL... for those WHOM He foreknew, NOT for WHAT He foreknew... that is the problem you can not get around, it isn't actions that He is looking at in the future...

The dead know nothing? ugh... bad Jehovah's Witness argument. What would and infinite, holy God who loves Himself ultimately above all things must do to those who hate what is most ultimately glorious? The soul is eternal, it was breathed into man by God. It is not materiel, but eternal. What...
