1 | Predestination | Eccl 6:10 | Mamre | 197530 | ||
(Quote) 'What I want you to hear from this is that God loves you, has sacrificed His own son to die a horrific death to pay for your sins and mine, if I was the only one on this earth that sinned He would have come to save just me. Because He loves me that much. And He loves you that much, He loves you enough to die, to bleed, to put that burn in your heart to know him. All you need to do is believe that He loves you, and died for you, and pray to him for forgiveness and confess that you are a sinner and need for him to come into your heart and be your lord and savior.' This statement is one that posits that while Jesus died for every soul that ever lived, it has not achieved that aim, and has largely failed. The question it begs (apart from its incitement to humanism by making the atonement's 'potential' only realised by the action of an unregenerate soul) is whether the atonement IS universal, or, as the Reformers taught (as well as Jesus Paul and Peter!) the Atonement IS Limited as to persons, namely the Called. (Acts 2:39) |

2 | Predestination | Eccl 6:10 | Dragonflyprincess | 197541 | ||
Mamre, There is no need to debate this topic with me! I am a firm believer that Jesus gives us the free will to choose to believe in His death for our sin debt or not to believe, that is how we are saved, not b/c He decided you would go to heaven but not the guy sitting next to you. I do not understand all the details but I do understand that all we need is faith. John 5:24;"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. I could go on and on and on with scriptures but one scripture says it all, 2Peter 3:9; The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. Let's find scripture we can agree on and edify each other! With Lots of Love in Christ, Dragonflyprincess. |

Quote: "Let's find scripture we can agree on and edify each other!" Dear sister I should love you FAR better than that! I should recommend to you ALL the Scripture, as Paul said; "The WHOLE counsel of God" which is why we have his clear teachings on sovereignty and predestination. God bless you. |

Mamre, Perhaps then you could love her enough to expound on the passages she has offered as her understanding of the subject! After all, it is included in the "WHOLE counsel of God" :-) Steve |
