You have not properly understood 1Cor 15:22. In Adam all, without exception, all of humankind are destined to die. You have not carefully read the verse. Paul tells us IN CHRIST shall all be made alive. It is abundantly clear throughout Scripture that not all mankind without exception are IN CHRIST! All of humanity is in Adam, being physically born, but only those who are of faith are found to be IN CHRIST.

1 Corinthians 15:22 (KJV) For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

All of humanity in an hour coming will be bodily resurrected from the graves. They are bodily resurrected to life, or damnation depending on whether or not in life they are of those who had done good, or of those who have done evil.

John 5:28-29 (KJV) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

That means that not all who are resurrected shall be immortal and incorruptible as you imagine. Paul says for the dead raised incorruptible and immortal death has been swallowed up in victory. So, none of those resurrected immortal and incorruptible will be resurrected to damnation, which is the lake of fire, the second death.
1 Corinthians 15:52-54 (KJV) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
You are quite confused. You are conflating physical death and spiritual death.
I Cor 15: 20-22 is addressing physical death. The previous verses are speaking of all the dead that are raised because Christ is raised.
It is an equation. So by your logic ONLY believers died through Adam thus only those that believe will be raised. It also is a direct denial of the Incarnation of Christ. One of the hallmarks of historical Christianity. Why do you think Christ needed to take on our human nature?
john 5:28-29 verifies that all the dead will be raised in the last day, and all the dead will stand in judgement before Christ.
Here is where you show your conflation. The death that gets swallowed up is physical death. Do you really think God will destroy any of His creation. The second death is loss of a relationship with Christ for an eternity. To exist in hell they will also be immortal, or not mortal, capable of dying which was swallowed up by Christ victory over death. And incorruptible, will not dissolve into dust again.
However they will be condemned to hell to remain for an eternity, separated from God .
A difference is that believers will also be glorified.

Not exactly the same human nature, remember Christ was without sin. As I've repeatedly said, Christ is the propitiation (atonement) for the sin of the whole world. Through His atoning blood all sin is done away either according to grace through faith when man believes Christ for everlasting life OR sin will be done away for the one who dies in his/her sin in the lake of fire, that is the second death.
Christ had the very same human nature as we do. So is every baby, born without sin. But you are correct Christ is the ONLY one that did not sin.
Actually, sin ends with the physical death of every human. When the dead are raised in the last day, none will have sin in them. The reason that man dies is to rid this body of sin. That is physical death.
Atonement means reconciliation/restoration back to Divine favor. Without faith it is impossible to please God, or to be put back into His Divine favor. Atonement by Christ is complete for whosoever believes, but faith for man to believe in Christ most assuredly is not complete in all of them without exception.
Atonement means reconciliation/restoration back to Divine favor. Yes, that is explicity what scripture states in several passages Col 1:20, II Cor 5:18-19. Christ was in this world to reconcile the world back to God. What does that mean? It means Christ overcame death and gave this physical world an eternal existence again. The world would not dissolve back to dust permanently. The sacrifice for sin made it possible for man to have a relationship with Christ in ones earthly existence because we can have our sin forgiven to remain IN Christ. The atonement for for God's purpose, not man's. It was universal, not limited.
When man believes/repents/'confesses one's sin we are put back in favor with God, that is called justification by faith. That is not atonement.


Without faith it is impossible to please God, or to be put back into His Divine favor.
Agreed
Atonement by Christ is complete for whosoever believes, but faith for man to believe in Christ most assuredly is not complete in all of them without exception.
Incorrect. It was complete for God. Has nothing to do with who believers. It has to do with Christ correcting the fall. So that man now can be in the same position as Adam was in the beginning. In a relationship with God. That what it means to be born again.

Romanism is not into predestination, but are strong proponents of the Armenian free will concept.
I don't know about Armenianism, but historical Christianity has always believed that man was created with an independent will. God could not expect the return of love without the freedom of the will of man. Scripture is full of man choosing between life and death. We will be judged on what we did. The judgement is not about what God did.
Well as these are all biblical topics I can attest that the 1st Century and at least early 2nd century adhered to these. all of these are found in Scripture.
Nice claim. Calvinism with its theory on limited atonement denies the Incarnation of Christ. A hallmark of historical Christianity.
You call them all biblical topics, but then again, as I mentioned every false teaching is based on scripture.
So please explain how for the untold billions over the centuries that never heard the name Jesus even once- How Jesus drew them to HImself? Itr is estimated that there still over 3.8 billion people who have never heard the gospel message once.
Your statement just amazes me. Have you not read the OT at all. Even the NT - Rom 2:18-24. God dealt with man through dispensations. Yoiu live in an era where those that don't believe will be worse off then those that never believed in the time of Noah, or Abraham and the rest of the OT saints. There will be no man that will be able to tell God that he never knew Him. Unless you don't believe what Paul states in the above citation.
Well you can cite, but that doesn't make those verses incarnational. Please explain biblically how people who never have heard the Gosdpel which Paul said is the power of God to save can be drawn to salvation apart from hearing the gospel.
Paul seems to disagree with you.
That is what your Armenian belief system is-- man made.
Except I'm not Armenian. Do you think that those opposite of "Calvinism are just Armenians? I don't hold to man-made theories.
I can biblically show each point of tulip- but you cannot show each point of Armenian theology vis- a-vis the five points.

So you can but that does not make it scripturally correct. Maybe not any better than Armenian who is also a man with a theory. who may have some parts correct, some not. I must say that in reading so-called Armenian aguments against Calvinism, they generally have it correct. It is not difficult to show the falsity of Calvinism.

All of humanity is born in Adam, physical, of the earth, so all of humanity is ordained to die physically! But only those humans who are born in Adam and are also found to be in Christ by faith will be raised to life again. The rest of mankind in Adam only will die in their sins without Christ.

In this chapter Paul speaks of both spiritual resurrection and physical resurrection. In these two verses Christ by His resurrection from the dead became the firstfruits of them who had died before His coming. How is Christ the firstfruits of them that had already died? By taking those who had already died in faith with Him when He ascended to heaven. This is not the physical/bodily resurrection to immortality and incorruption, this is the spiritual resurrection from the graves as living (spirit) souls. Because God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

They that had died in Jesus have not perished, because Christ is raised and they ascended to heaven a spiritual body with Him.

1 Corinthians 15:16-18 (KJV) For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
1 Corinthians 15:19 (KJV) If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
1 Corinthians 15:20 (KJV) But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1 Corinthians 15:21 (KJV)
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

Ephesians 4:8-10 (KJV) Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

Matthew 27:52 (KJV) And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

1 Corinthians 15:35 (KJV)
But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

1 Corinthians 15:44-50 (KJV) It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Matthew 22:29-32 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

The physically dead in Christ leave their bodies after death to be with the Lord in heaven a spiritual body/living soul, because God is the God of the living. For that reason Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are not dead, but spiritually alive and present in heaven with the Lord.

I have no idea what theory you are superimposing upon scripture, but it is totally foreign to me. You are still totally conflating physical death with spiritual death. You also leave most of humanity in non existence. Besides totally denying the Incarnation of Christ.
I believe it is online, but you should read St Athanasius's book "On the Incarnation". Do you know what the word "quickening" means?

Preaching the Gospel isnt an offer, its setting forth Gospel facts. Look at the sermons in the book of Acts, no offers, Just declarations. 1 Cor 15:1

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

The word declare is the greek word gnōrizō:

  1. to make known
    1. to become known, be recognised
  2. to know, to gain knowledge of, have thorough knowledge of
    1. in earlier Greek it means "to gain a knowledge of" or "have thorough knowledge of"

The word preach in the same verse is euangelizō:

o bring good news, to announce glad tidings

  1. used in the OT of any kind of good news
    1. of the joyful tidings of God's kindness, in particular, of the Messianic blessings
  2. in the NT used especially of the glad tidings of the coming kingdom of God, and of the salvation to be obtained in it through Christ, and of what relates to this salvation
  3. glad tidings are brought to one, one has glad tidings proclaimed to him
  4. to proclaim glad tidings
    1. instruct (men) concerning the things that pertain to Christian salvation

Its translated declare Acts 13:32

And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

Now God doesnt offer the Gospel, He sends it on a mission Acts 13:26

Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent

Its not offered, your concept is nothing but humanism.

Now many in mans religion, not Gods Truth, they reject limited particular atonement by haphazardly going to scriptures like Jn 1:29

29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Now who is the world here ? Is it every individual in the world without exception ? Of course not, because many people whom Christ did not die, their sin remaineth on them Jn 9:41

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.


But for those who comprise the world of Jn 1:29 their sin is taken away, its not charged to them. The words Taketh away is the greek word airō:

  1. to raise up, elevate, lift up
    1. to raise from the ground, take up: stones
    2. to raise upwards, elevate, lift up: the hand
    3. to draw up: a fish
      • to take off or away what is attached to anything
      • to remove

In this context it means:

, to remove the guilt and punishment of sin by expiation, or to cause that sin be neither imputed nor punished

Paul uses the word in this scripture Col 2:14

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross

All the sins that the Law could Justly condemn Gods people for, have been blotted out and taken out the way,

So this world cannot justly have sins imputed to it, hence 2 Cor 5:19

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

The world in 2 Cor 5:19 and the one in Jn 1:29 are the same guilt free, condemnation free world, John the Baptist and Paul preached the same Jesus, the Lamb of God.

So may God be pleased to deliver some from the corrupt sense the arminians and freewillers put upon Jn 1:29 and 2 Cor 5:19 by falsely stating by them Christ died for every individual of mankind, thats a lie to be frank about it.

Christs death is limited to that world that is saved from its sins Rev 21:24


24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

The Cross of Christ is not limited by man's carnal reasoning.

The Cross is the universal offer of Salvation to the "WORLD".... John 3:16

But not everyone who is in the world, not every person, will come to Jesus and receive Salvation, even tho its offered to "all who will come".

To take away sin is Salvation ! Its a Covenant Blessing founded upon the Blood of Christ, for many Matt 26:28

28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

So He remits, takes away the sins of many which is their Salvation Rom 11:26-27


26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

Christ is that Covenant Isa 42:6



I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles

He takes away the sin of all His Covenant People, a world of people from all nations 1 Jn 3:5

And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

The words take away are the same as in Jn 1:29. If our sins are taken away we are saved from our sins.

Notice your verse.

It says that "In HIM...."IN CHRIST".....there is NO SIN.

And who is "IN CHRIST"?

A.) ALL THE BORN Again.

Every Born again Christian, is "IN CHRIST". = no sin.

Galatians 3:27-28


27 For as many of you as have been baptized INTO CHRIST (not water).... have put on Christ.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one IN CHRIST Jesus.

Thats false and that scripture doesnt say anything about an offer, except Christ was an offering by offering Himself to God for the sins of His Sheep. Eph 5:2

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

You teaching a false message, may God be merciful to you

Now who is the world here ? Is it every individual in the world without exception ? Of course not, because many people whom Christ did not die, their sin remaineth on them Jn 9:41
This remark displays GROSS IGNORANCE of Gospel Truth as well as DENIAL of Gospel Truth.

So here is JOHN CALVIN'S commentary on John 1:29:
Who taketh away the sin of the world. He uses the word sin in the singular number, for any kind of iniquity; as if he had said, that every kind of unrighteousness which alienates men from God is taken away by Christ. And when he says, the sin Of The World, he extends this favor indiscriminately to the whole human race; that the Jews might not think that he had been sent to them alone. But hence we infer that the whole world is involved in the same condemnation; and that as all men without exception are guilty of unrighteousness before God, they need to be reconciled to him. John the Baptist, therefore, by speaking generally of the sin of the world, intended to impress upon us the conviction of our own misery, and to exhort us to seek the remedy. Now our duty is, to embrace the benefit which is offered to all, that each of us may be convinced that there is nothing to hinder him from obtaining reconciliation in Christ, provided that he comes to him by the guidance of faith.


Does everyone see what Calvin is saying? "THE WORLD" =THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE!
In view of this will brightfame52 publicly repent, and publicly recant his heresies? Very doubtful. He is in bondage to false doctrines and even Calvin will not be able to break this bondage.

The demonic Cross denying Heretic = John Calvin "limited" God's Grace and Jesus's Cross.
Dont be the same.
He was a fool's fool, and probably not born again.
Your anger is against God friend, God limited the Death of Christ to save only His Elect

This remark displays GROSS IGNORANCE of Gospel Truth as well as DENIAL of Gospel Truth.

So here is JOHN CALVIN'S commentary on John 1:29:
Who taketh away the sin of the world. He uses the word sin in the singular number, for any kind of iniquity; as if he had said, that every kind of unrighteousness which alienates men from God is taken away by Christ. And when he says, the sin Of The World, he extends this favor indiscriminately to the whole human race; that the Jews might not think that he had been sent to them alone. But hence we infer that the whole world is involved in the same condemnation; and that as all men without exception are guilty of unrighteousness before God, they need to be reconciled to him. John the Baptist, therefore, by speaking generally of the sin of the world, intended to impress upon us the conviction of our own misery, and to exhort us to seek the remedy. Now our duty is, to embrace the benefit which is offered to all, that each of us may be convinced that there is nothing to hinder him from obtaining reconciliation in Christ, provided that he comes to him by the guidance of faith.

The world of Jn 1:29 is saved from sin, its been taken away. Now eitther you submit to the truth or remain in unbelief. May God have mercy on you.

You're a silly little one to think or believe that im "angry".

But i can tell you this.
God is against Calvinism, because its : Galatians 1:8

Calvinism is a cancer on the Body of Christ.
Calvinism is a un-holy insult to the Cross of Christ.
