That does bring a good question to mind, though, if another of my brethren that advocates the Calvinist position would be willing to answer...
Where does the Word show that Christ's death was a propitiation for mankind, or the Elect, or humanity, rather than for SIN?
It's a serious question...
**hands AwasC back his treasured label**
AwasC, please revisit my previous posts, #s 136 and 257.
In that, and with all due respect... :wave:
God bless, HITR
This here gets close to the heart of what I was prayerfully pondering yesterday. I was pretty quiet around here yesterday, so that I might take some prayerful time to consider what I should say. Now, hopefully, I can communicate the thoughts I have clearly. :)
Jesus is our personal Lord and...
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. John 7:37, 38
What a great question, I really had to think about this one, too. I'd have to say yes, I believe that I would, at least to some extent. While I wouldn't follow Him in the same way, I would follow after several of His teachings. Before I was a Christian, I saw the value and worth of His...
^_^
Too funny...ok, I needed that before I got back to teaching. Thanks for the light humor, sister, it was just the thing... :thumbsup:
Love o' Jesus, HITR

and then
You use this following example as a response to try to justify what you said?

The statements you made were that I expect you to provide explicit language, and that it's nowhere in the Scriptures. Now, I don't find it there. Did I say that it doesn't exist...
kw5kw, thank you much for the response. It really didn't answer my question, but I believe that's probably on account of my not being clear enough, I apologize. Unfortunately, I'm out of time and have to scoot. I'll be back a bit later, and I'll try to clarify my question a bit better for you...
I presume you have not found any such statement? It shouldn't be too hard to find, really. It's not like I have that many posts to search.
No, you haven't proven anything. Notwithstanding, it's not your job to prove anything to anyone. That is the work of the Spirit, and unless it's the...
Quote just one place I did this, lest you be found to be a hypocrite. If you can find it, and quote it, I will, again, gladly recant. If not, are you equally willing to repent?
As for the rest, nothing is fruitful unless we are dealing with one another in the Spirit of the living God. That...
Yea, I am getting the point now just as well as I did then, regardless of what you try to assert. You see, I never said that the trinity was spelled out in clear language, as you continue insist, try as you might. I said that it is a rather clear indication of it. Find one place where I...
Yet the Word that says, "But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many." Romans 5:15
The very same word for many...

Thanks, kw5kw, for sharing this. Many good verses to look at, I agree. :)
Before we go back and forth with "it says many" and "it says all," (we could do this all day, truth be told!), I wonder what your thoughts are on this.
If Jesus did not give Himself up that all would...
I have most of them. My children have not read them.
They would be incorrect if they were to claim any of the characters at Hogwarts is just a "magician." They are witches and wizards in training (children) and in practice (adults), as the book's basis revolves around. Someone claiming...
