    Limited atonement !

    I've been a good sport and have afforded you every opportunity to prove your beliefs using the Bible. At the beginning I even considered if I wanted to believe in limited atonement and looked for reasons to because I've never studied it. The more I kept studying, the more I realized it's just a...

    Limited atonement !

    For someone who seems so zealous to promote your cult's version of salvation, you have done an absolutely fantastic job of repulsing everyone to it. How does it feel to take the stage and get booed out? You started a debate on it and seem unwilling to engage in actual debate. You've just been...

    Limited atonement !

    How? Acts 11:18 When they heard this, they quieted down and glorified God, saying, “Well then, God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance unto life.

    Limited atonement !

    Makes sense. I believe that Jesus' atoning sin sacrifice is available for the world, but not necessarily accessed by all. I believe this is a satisfactory explanation of Jesus' sacrifice that doesn't necessitate universal salvation. There are probably some other factors influencing the Reformed...

    Limited atonement !

    I think I am beginning to see what your issue is. It's just that you are using a non sequitur or begging the question by making an assumption that is not stated in scripture to bridge the gap between your philosophy on salvation and what Scripture explicitly states. The issue is that Matthew...

    Limited atonement !

    The limited atonement doctrine was never found in the mouth of the Father, His son, the prophets, the apostles, or anyone else in the Bible. So it doesn't come from God. Stating limited atonement is what the gospel is, attaching Bible verses to it, calling someone "God" and "Jesus" like I do...

    Limited atonement !

    At this point I know you don't have the same God as I do. So I have no fear whatever you say.

    Limited atonement !

    Your god is impotent to show mercy or do anything in regards to salvation. Nothing happens. The world of Christendom shall rise against you.

    Limited atonement !

    I could only pray we could have a Moses versus Pharaoh event and put this to rest, but I have a feeling that won't happen any time soon. You are the type who won't learn anything until you have a personal great tribulation. May God have mercy on you.

    Limited atonement !

    Normally it takes a while for someone to run out of excuses before the denials begin. It's up to you. It's between you and God at this point.

    Limited atonement !

    To not quote entire chapters that either explain, describe, or by example show how salvation from sin is obtained, I only quote a couple of select texts. On the other hand, there are no at-length discussions in the Bible about limited atonement in the Bible. This is the difference between...

    Jesus as God

    Sorry, but this is either a strawman argument or you meant to reply to someone else. My comment was very simple. I didn't make any claims regarding any number of manuscripts. I did not make any attempts at textual criticism. I also didn't mention variations in the manuscripts.

    Limited atonement !

    I showed you some "sound bites" from the Bible that are not compatible with limited atonement. Again, I didn't write the Bible. I am simply showing you what it says for your benefit. I believe this is outreach for you at this point. Do you want to know the true gospel or not?

    Limited atonement !

    I didn't write the Bible so it isn't my claim. If Scripture is authoritative then the below verses are standalone prooftexts against limited atonement, contrary to your indefensible one-liner that they both support limited atonement. [sic] So again, care to point out where limited atonement is...

    Limited atonement !

    You made a claim, I provided Scripture that is explicitly contrary to your claim, you replied with a single-sentence denial, now I want your explanation. I don't have a burden of proof here unless you want me to copy and paste the same verses, again, that already explicitly make my point for me.

    Jesus as God

    Jesus as elohim, perhaps, along with others directly called such. However, Jesus as YHWH the Lord God Almighty? no.

    Limited atonement !

    How so?

    Limited atonement !

    Don't know how it could be any clearer. Maybe you just need to see it more. 2 Corinthians 5 14For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died. 15And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died...

    Limited atonement !

    I think everyone who believes they believe in the "True Gospel" are confident about it, but confidence decorated with Bible verses and theology doesn't mean someone believes something factual. Belief can exist regardless of what the truth is. I would recommend you stop treating Calvinism as if...

    Limited atonement !

    Limited atonement wasn't taught to anyone until the 17th century. So no one was saved until after Calvin came along?
