Yeah, there's something wrong with my (Ref's) account so I'm using my other one right now.  Gabriel is helping me to try and get the problem fixed. I'll be back on as my regular account soon I hope.  LOL!  Man I'm addicted to this MB!! :D God bless, Don

So, I take it you don't see "believing, trusting, relying, and walking in" the sanctification of the Lord something we do?  'Cause you say that we should cut out the middle man/woman and then you contradict that by saying you do have to do something, i.e., believe...

The reason Jesus had to die was because God's righteous Law required that that penalty for sins be paid.  God said, "the wages of sin is death" (Rom 6:23).  However, the propitiation had to be a worthy sacrifice that would appease God's wrath.  The only worthy sacrifice for...

Uhh...no...according to you His death gave you the "chance to be saved."  It didn't actually save you. According to you, had you not made that decision would you be saved?  Of course not.  Therefore, as I said, His death didn't actually save you.  You had to do...

As I'm not a Greek scholar I have to ask if any of you know if, in the original Greek, the word "all," as it is used in this case, is a separate use of the word or if it is a conjunctive article when used with men?  While God does not sovereignly will every human being...
