He did show mercy to everyone. Becauswe Christ died for everyone. Did you deserve His death on your behalf? Noooooooo. Neither did I. Nor everyone else.Sweet! Universalism is true!!!!!!!!
Reasons to remain a Calvinist:
Because you give a rip about what the Bible teaches.
But there are NO verses that teach that Christ died ONLY for some, whatever you'd like to call that group.
There are NO verses that teach that God chooses who will believe, which is logical foundation and conclusion of Calvinist election.
When these 2 points are considered, just how strong is Calvinism?
This is what I said:There are plenty of verses take Matt 1:21 for example:
Matthew 1:21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
Not in John 10. Jesus notes the following:Notice "will save" not might or possibly, and notice "his people", in the context of the Gospels "his people" are the "sheep", not the goats.
Because He will save. The Bible plainly says so.If Christ came to make a general sacrifice for sins, making it possible for anyone, then why do we read that "HE will save".
It doesn't add up to insert notions of Jesus, coming to die for everyone but saving his people....meaning he died equally for those who are not his people, for those burning in hell. So where does that leave the efficacy?
It does add up. He died for ALL so that anyone who believes WILL BE saved.
God saves ONLY believers, 1 Cor 1:21. No one else.
Why are people "burning in hell"? Because they don't have eternal life. Rev 20:15.
I said this:
There are NO verses that teach that God chooses who will believe, which is logical foundation and conclusion of Calvinist election.
And you replied with:
Yes, I'm VERY serious. There are NONE.Seriously?
Please show me any verse that uses the verb eklegomai that is linked with being elected for salvation.There are verses that state it plainly, unless you're suggesting that an elect person can not believe and still be elect...which is against Scripture.
{HINT} 2 Thess 2:13 doesn't have "eklegomai", but rather "haireomai".
This is what I said:
But there are NO verses that teach that Christ died ONLY for some, whatever you'd like to call that group.
Nothing about goats, etc.
The group identified as "the sheep" are the ones for whom Christ died. He also noted specifically "His" sheep and "other" sheep of His, and those "not of" His sheep.YOU identify THAT group as the "Sheep". And whom did Christ say He lays His life down for?
So yeah, you're in denial.
I said, "nothing about goats", in reference to John 10. Please direct me to the verse in Jn 10 where Jesus notes anything about goats. Thnx.I see you ignore the context of Scripture
Forgetting 2 other passages, where Jesus refers to mankind in general to SHEEP without a shepherd. Would He ever say that about "HIS sheep"? Of course not.as a matter of fact Jesus did identify two groups through parables, the sheep and the goats. So yeah, goats are not sheep and Christ died not for goats, but for the sheep. Go on now and twist away as always...
