angel; Thank you for your reply. You mentioned that Samuel was mourning for Saul's condition. Would you care to comment on what you believe Saul's condition before the Lord was? Do you believe Saul died saved or unsaved? Grace, peace, and love be multiplied unto thee zach† |

etta; Here are just a few of the many verses concerning this topic; They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for awhile believe, and in time of temptation FALL away. (Lk. 8:13 Mark 4:16-17) Heb 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. Rom 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. But it is happened unto them For if after they have escaped the pollution's of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than after they have known, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. (2 Pet. 2:20-22) For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. (Heb. 6:4-6 NASB) 1Tim 5:12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. 1Tim 5:15 For some are already turned aside after Satan. Rev. 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Joh 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. zach† |

64 | Is Limited Atonement Bibical? | NT general Archive 1 | zach† | 34392 | ||
Before I ask my question, I would first like to provide you with some personal back-ground information concerning myself. When I first received Christ into my heart and life, God instilled within me a hunger and a thirst to read His written word. I just couldn't get enough of it. I began attending a Reformed church, and adopted all their beliefs as my beliefs. I read Calvin, and others of the reformed faith, and was in unity with their thinking. But the more I read God's word and allowed God's Holy Spirit to teach me from His word, the harder and harder it became for me to any longer accept the teachings of Calvinism represented within TULIP. Today I especially have trouble accepting the "L" of TULIP which stands for "Limited Atonement" So my question is: Do you personally believe "Limited Atonement is Bibical, or not? And why not. What Scripture do you use to support your beliefs. I know this is a highly and hotly debated topic, but I think it is one that with some discipline on our part, can be fairly discussed In Christ zach† |

Lionstrong; If you re-read my post to etta, you will see that I gave her only scripture references, without any of my own commentaries attached to them. etta asked for verses and i provided them. So what i used was Scripture alone. If you think I wrote those verses ...... well you know I didn't. In Christ zach† |

I just thought seeing how I initially asked this question, I would jump in here somewhere to add a few notes I compiled on this subject: I tend to side with Tim Moran's thoughts on this topic. So let me post the following for you viewing and feedback if I may. John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. ( the Greek word "pas" is used for the word "every" in this verse, it is the same Greek word used for "all" in 2 Cor. 5:15 “he died for all” and all in my undersatnding NEVER, NEVER, EVER means some or a few. ) The above verse makes it plain that Jesus the true Light, lighteth what? Some men? Most men? No! Take a look at what the verse says. It says: HE LIGHTETH EVERY MAN THAT COMES INTO THE WORLD!!! Now does EVERY MAN mean EVERY MAN, or does it mean some men. 2 Corinthians 5:15 says: "he died for "all" If you look the word "all" up in the Greek as is used in this verse, and other verses, you find the word "pas" is used. The Greek word "pas" means, all, every, all men, everyone, whole, all manner of, everything, any, whosoever, anything, all things, each. So if I were to follow the logic of Reformed thinking that only some are saved and others are not, I would look to other verses using the Greek word "pas" and see if I can repalce it with the word "some or elect." Here are a few other verses in which the word "all" is found and in EACH and EVERY instance the Greek word used is "pas" which I gave a definition for above. Mt 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. (try replacing the word "all" here with the word "some", it doesn't work) Rom. 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (now I think you will really find it difficult to replace the word "all" in this verse with the word "some" ) Gal. 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, ( agian it would be disasterous to replace the word "all" in this verse with "some" ) 1 Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (try substituting the word "all" as found here with the word "some." It can't be done) Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. (can you substitute the words "some of these" for the words "These all" found here without making Scripture false? ) 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (finally do you believe you can substitute or replace the word "all" as found in this verse with the word "some") In each of the above verses the same Greek word "pas" is used, so to replace it in one verse would mean you have to replace it in all these verses. This is one of many very good reasons why I believe "Limited Atonement" is unBibical. The Term "Limited Atonement" Really Means Limited Love, Limited Grace of God, and So Slanders God, and Is Unscriptural First John 2:2 plainly says, "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and NOT FOR OURS ONLY, BUT ALSO FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD." No limited atonement there! |

Joe! Neither do I believe in universalism. However I do believe that in the verses i cited, all means all in these verses. And of course whenever the terms particular redemption or limited atonement is mentioned we then are given a denominations particular slant on Scripture. It is my person opinion that denominations divide, but Christ unites. Doctrinal difference between the various sects have existed as early in my reading since 1 Cor. Chapter 1 where Paul states: 1Co 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? (KJV) one says I'm Methodist, another says I'm Reformed, still another says I'm Pentecostal, was Christ divided, or were you baptized in the name of Calvin, or Wesley (my paraphrase of 1 Cor.1:12-13) (The zach paraphrase of 1 Cor. 1:12-13) I don't expect you to adopt my interpretation for your own, we can discuss it, and yet disagree. But just so you know, I cannot agree with the 5 points of Calvinism,. It's not that I haven't studied them in detail, I just find too much scripture that goes against that teaching. Please don't ask me which scripture. I have discussed this too often in the past with too many of the Reformed faith and have always found these discussions to be unproductive and unfruitful. And yes I do know all the verses they use to support what they believe. I have seen them all many times, and have considered each one of them without excluding any of them. I don't say that to be mean, or disrespectful but just to be open and honest. In Christ zach† |

What does Rev. 2:4 mean when it says: "thou hast left thy first love"? Secondly can this verse be cross referenced with 1 Tim. 5:12 which says; "they have cast off their first faith"?

72 | Does faith require maintenance? | NT general Archive 1 | zach† | 34886 | ||
Please excuse my ignorance in asking so many questions But I feel compelled to ask this one also to see what imput this forum can provide me with. So please bear with me once again. Fenelon I believe is attributed with the quote: "Let go, and let God" But in 2 Tim. 4:7 it didn't appear to be Paul's philosophy of the day when he stated: 2Tim. 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: In this I see 3 "I haves" of Paul, he said: 1) I HAVE fought the good fight. I also cross reference this with the following verse: 1Tim 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. I think Paul was saying we have been enlisted as soliders in the army of Christ, theres a real battle thats being waged. Do we have to take up the armor and get dressed for battle, or does God dress us? Do we follow Him into battle? 2) I HAVE finished my course -- here is the second I have of Paul from this verse 3) I HAVE kept the faith. I know that believers are kept by the power of God through faith. (1 Pet. 1:5) So do these kept verses contradict each other? Does faith require maintenance on the part of those who have it? In Christ zach† |

Wigglesworth; Thank you for that wonderful and insightful answer. I appreciate it very much, however I note that you said: "Just walk with His Spirit, and talk with Him, and fellowship with Him and don't resist Him." Many I talk to say He can't be resisted. I agree more so with your statement which I just quoted from your post. So I would like to ask you if you tend to agree or disagree with the following statement The Holy Spirit operates in us as we co-operate with Him. If we refuse to yield to Him, His fruit cannot be borne in us. In Christ zach† |

Emmaus; Thank you for that well thought out answer. You mentioned the obedience of our faith which is found in: Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? and also in: Rom. 16:25 ¶ Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations FOR THE OBEDIENCE OF FAITH: - and found elsewhere in scripture also. What is your opinion of the following quotes? "Only he who believes is obedient. Only he who is obedient, believes." (Bonhoeffer) "Brethren, I would point out that obedience is taught throughout the entire Bible and that true obedience is one of the toughest requirements of the Christian life. Apart from obedience, there can be no salvation, for salvation without obedience is a self-contradictory impossibility." -- A.W. Tozer In Christ zach† |

Brother Tim; What a great post, and how wonderful are the Bibical truths which you expound. Concerning the individuals "receiving the gift of reconciliation I often use the word "appropriate" which to me means we must take for ourselves the free gift of salvation which is being offered and extended to each individual. Do you think the word "appropriate" is proper? In Christ zach† |

Benjamite; Thank you for your reply. In that reply you stated; "I do, however see strong Biblical support for the other four points." which to me would indicate that you claim to be a 4-point Calvinist. And thats well and fine, if thats true of you. I personally think if one point of TULIP crumbles then the whole TULIP topples. However my wish is to remain focused on the Limited Atonement part of TULIP. But nevertheless I will make one brief statement concerning the "I" in TULIP which you also briefly mentioned which stands for "Irresistable Grace" I believe God by His grace does draw us to Himself, but does not drag us to Himself. God's prevenient grace is sufficient, but not irresistable. In Acts I see where those who were uncircumcised in heart, meaning lost in unbelief were able to resist the Holy Spirit ..... let me post this one verse and get off my soap-box. Acts 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, YE DO ALWAYS RESIST THE HOLY GHOST: as your fathers did, so do ye. My contention is not just one point of Calvinism is unscriptural, but I personally find fault with much of that particular teaching which I won't go into more detail about at this time. I also understand that others, who are better versed than I am on this difficult subject which has been debated for hundreds of years, will have something to say concerning my reply. Nevertheless, I want to be open and remain teachable In Christ zach† |
