33926 | Did Christ die for the world? | 1 John 2:2 | Morant61 | 6540 | ||
Greetings Y'all: There have been several threads deaing with the extent of the atonment. Rather than rehasing all of those discussions, I would like to propose something different. A limited discussion on 1 John 2:2. Personally, I think the best way to debate an issue like this is to deal with a limited number of verses. Since I proposed this, I will start first. Here is my take on 1 John 2:2. The question concerning the extent of the atonement is simply this: Did Christ atone for all or only the elect? Many verses, which seem to indicate that Christ died for all, can be interpreted in such a way as to limit the extent of the word 'all.' However, 1 John 2:2 seems to be perfectly clear. There is a contrast here between believers (our sins) and unbelievers (the whole world). Christ is the propitation for all sin. Now, what does it mean that Christ is the propitation for all sin? The word 'hilasmos' is only used twice in the New Testament (Here and in 1 John 4:10). It signifies a turning a way of God's wrath by an offering. The entire ministry of Christ is signified by this word in 1 John 4:10. The gift of salvation in Romans 3:25 is described using a related word 'hilasterion.' This same word ('hilasterion') is used in Heb. 2:17 to refer to the priestly ministry of Christ. In my opinion, this verse is decisive. Christ died for the sins of everyone. The Cross is the one and only act of atonement for all men and for all sin. I don't see anyway, in light of this verse, that one can argue that Christ only died for the elect. p.s. - A note for all those who respond. Unless one is dealing with heresy, I view debate as an opportunity to sharpen our understanding of Scripture. By interacting with one another, we can see how others view Scripture, consider other points of view, and sharpen our ability to deal with objections to our viewpoints. We may never agree with each other, but I can live with that! God Bless, Tim Moran |

33929 | Believe or Believeth | Acts 16:31 | jim | 6505 | ||
Is the meaning of Believe and Believeth the same?I shall tell you a short story. A man was going to walk a tightrope across Niagra Falls and asked the people if they Believed he could do it and they all said he could and then he got a wheelbarrow and said who beleives i can push the wheelbarrow across with you in it. No one Beleived. We can just Believe but do we Believe enough to obey and follow God? See what took place after man asked question. He acted on his belief. Thanks for YOUR comments In Christ Jim | ||||||

33935 | Is harsh language appropriate? | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 6444 | ||
Harsh "language in theological debates is uncalled for today." "...in his "Institutes of the Christian Religion", Calvin's treatment of those he disagrees with is less than congenial, to say the least. He is especially harsh on Anabaptists and Catholics (whom he calls "papists"). It was somewhat the norm at [that] time to be harsh with one's "opponents," so Calvin cannot be faulted too much for this. But still, SUCH LANGUAGE IN THEOLOGICAL DEBATES IS UNCALLED FOR TODAY (emphasis with caps is mine)" (quoted from a book review by Gary F. Zeolla) .

33937 | What is the "eye of the needle"? | Mark 10:25 | Inerrant Word | 6374 | ||
In speaking of the "eye of a needle," what historical evidence is there (please give references) that Jesus was speaking of one of many supposed exits/entrances in the walls of Jerusalem used to help reduce the threat of invasion? I've heard explanations by some that these narrow "needle eyes" allowed immediate access to outside the city walls without having to travel to one of the large commercial/main gates, thus reducing the threat of invasion while still allowing freedom of personal movement. | ||||||
33938 | What took you so long? | Rom 5:6 | Percival | 6371 | ||
What took you so long? Finally, the discussion between the disciples of Calvin and the disciples of Arminus erupts into the familiar lines of bigotry. Calvinists have well proved the utter depravity of man, and the doctrine of exclusion, excuse me, election. A single avowed Arminist has allowed free will to run amok. But the valiant defenders of their faith held their ground and gouged an eye for an eye. Now, even so, the revelation to that famous heretic, Martin Luther, is given to us, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." (Ephesians 2:8) It is good to know that this verse applies even to extremists and self-righteous saints. "Let not then your good be evil spoken of." (Romans 14:16) Have you all been sleeping well? Praise the Lord! |

33939 | Yet another capitalization question? | Heb 7:26 | Ray | 6366 | ||
I believe that we have such a High Priest unlike the high priest(s) of verse 27 who first have to offer sacrifices for their own sins daily for He is a Son, made perfect forever. I have found agreement among friends that Jesus was fully human and fully God. I have capitalized son, I have capitalized high priest as other versions of scripture have, I have capitalized God because He is not a god. My question is this: How important is it for us to think of Jesus as the Son of Man instead of a son of man? How important is it for translators to capital man when speaking of Jesus? |

33940 | Using the "Roman's Road" to evangelize? | NT general Archive 1 | Makarios | 6343 | ||
The most 'popular' way for Christians to lead people to salvation using the Bible is by using the "Roman's Road". (Romans 3:23, 6:23, 5:8, 10:9,13). Over the years that I have been a Christian, I have adopted a little bit different Scriptural approach, using (in this order): Romans 3:23 (realize that you are a sinner), Romans 6:23 (penalty for sin is death), 1 Peter 3:18 (Christ paid the penalty), Acts 3:19 (we must repent), Ephesians 2:8 (must accept Christ by faith) and Romans 10:9,13 (must confess Jesus as Lord).. This approach is a little different but equally effective! I am curious, are there other 'methods' or ways that people use to lead others to Christ using the Bible? | ||||||
