    Does God Love Everyone, "Unconditionally"?

    No we can not. We can say that those who come to saving faith will be loved of God for eternity. On another note, there is a love of God that is general and is for all mankind but you are I think asking re a salvific love of God. Universalism is false. Not everyone shall be saved. All are...

    Problems with Faith Alone Theology and the Double Imputation Theory.

    I have never claimed to be infallible my hope is not based on a 100% understanding of Scripture, that belongs to no man but God alone. The papal system is riddled with conflicting so called infallible excathedra pronouncements and most importantly is seriously at variance with the Old and New...

    Problems with Faith Alone Theology and the Double Imputation Theory.

    My hope is not in Calvin or any other man. It is Christ alone. The problem of following man is the deviation that is RC. As I have said, the RC person HAS to hope that the RC conduit of grace is NOT leaky at all. Time and again I have asked the same question that remains unanswered regarding...

    Problems with Faith Alone Theology and the Double Imputation Theory.

    The issue is that you will not use the standard that Jesus Himself used as the full and final authority. Think of who HE is. Yet He goes to the Scriptures. It is written! The Bereans were commended. Why was that? Of course faith alone does not save since faith without works is dead. It is...

    Problems with Faith Alone Theology and the Double Imputation Theory.

    You are cherry picking. A doctrine is not established on the basis of one verse or part of a verse. You say: "Salvation by faith alone is unbiblical. "Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." It is NOT salvation by faith alone! You cloud the issue...

    Problems with Faith Alone Theology and the Double Imputation Theory.

    You are confusing justification and sanctification and this is an RC fault. You have not addressed my repeated reference to hope having no basis for RC because it is all tied to the hope that the RC get the rites right EVERY time.

    Problems with Faith Alone Theology and the Double Imputation Theory.

    Not so. By the keeping of the law NO flesh shall be justified. Cain was told "if you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But Cain was NOT a man of faith. Likewise ppl came to Jesus asking what good thing they could do to gain eternal life. Jesus dircted them to the law: ie perfectly...

    Problems with Faith Alone Theology and the Double Imputation Theory.

    No, faith in Christ is the result of God's regenerating love and is the source of actual and objective hope rooted and grounded in the person and work of Christ. Now if you are willing to use the 66 books as the standard from which to judge the RC system that would be great. As I have already...

    Problems with Faith Alone Theology and the Double Imputation Theory.

    You are mistaken re faith alone and the first it is seen is with Abraham whose right standing before was brought about by believing God with accounted (imputation of righteousness). James shows that true faith is PROVEN by works but he is not denying the teaching of JBFA. You misunderstand...

    Problems with Faith Alone Theology and the Double Imputation Theory.

    Again it is you RC teaching coming through, a teaching that says one can be regenerated and this through the RC rite of baptism) but commit mortal sin and when not absolved upon deeath go to Hell! Add to that that if the priest does not have the required intent then the rite was invalid anyway...

    Is "Love Thy Neighbor" Even Possible?

    Yes I totally understand what you are saying. It is being in Christ and He in me which makes the difference. I turn the car around but it is because of my desire to help others. Well ideally so and often is the case. Not always though since we are not perfect and whether we see it or not at...

    Problems with Faith Alone Theology and the Double Imputation Theory.

    Your argument there is based on RC teaching. The standard which Jesus used in confronting the devil was the OT Scriptures: it is written! The standard He used to prove who He was (Luke 24) was the very same standard! The O and N testaments are the full and final standard. You say faith alone...

    Problems with Faith Alone Theology and the Double Imputation Theory.

    Cori, regeneration is another word for born again and means new life. John tells us that such ones are born of the Holy Spirit of God. It is God who give life. He is the Creator and (spiritual) recreator. So, for me, it was me who cried out to the Lord. He heard my prayer and I knew He had...

    Is "Love Thy Neighbor" Even Possible?

    Yes, born again! And that is a supernatural work of God. Hey, I never asked to be born. I was passive. And actually, the spiritual rebirth is likewise passive on our behalf... after all, we were dead. Once you get your head around the new birth preceding repentance and faith in Christ...

    Is "Love Thy Neighbor" Even Possible?

    The Jews saw Jesus as an imposter but Jesus was not saying anything different to what they already knew in this regard see Deaut. 6. There has only ever been one way for ppl to come into a right relationship with God and that is through imputation of righteousness and is why Abraham is spoken...
