1 | Does God give faith? | 1 Tim 1:14 | DocTrinsograce | 154220 | ||
Dear Uma, Please see post 151193 on the ordo salutis. You might also find the post 151466 on regeneration enlightening. Also, I'd be curious to know how you scripturally support your statement: "Always remember that Christ Jesus didn't shed one more drop of blood, or receive one more stripe for anyone person than he did for ALL!" Remember, the atonement of Christ was an ACTUAL propitiation for sin, rather than a potential or conditional propitiation. In Him, Doc |

Also, I'd be curious to know how you scripturally support your statement: "Always remember that Christ Jesus didn't shed one more drop of blood, or receive one more stripe for anyone person than he did for ALL!" Joh 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Luk 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. Luk 3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Luk 20:38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. Joh 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. Joh 3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. Joh 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: Joh 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, Joh 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Joh 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. Joh 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. Joh 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; Joh 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. Act 17:25 Neither is worshiped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; Rom 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; Rom 5:18 Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 2Co 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 2Co 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Col 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. Col 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 1Ti 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1Ti 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 1Ti 4:10 For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those that believe. Tit 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Heb 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Act 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: |

Dear Uma, Thank you very much. :-) This is what the forum is about! We try not to declare this, demand that, etc. We want our doctrines to be grounded solidly in the Scripture. You draw from a wide variety of Scriptures. These Scriptures might also support Universalism. However, based on your posts so far, I believe you intend them as a denial of the doctrine of Particular Atonement. That's interesting, and we could deliberate that doctrine if you wish. However, your statement was about the passion of Christ. That assertion is still lacking Scriptural support. Indeed, you did not use any of the passages that you might have done. Thank you, however, for taking the time. I apologize that my question was not more specific. In Him, Doc |

Hi Doc, I don't know that I have a particular doctrine persay, I just read and study my Bible and trust in the Spirit to guide me in Truth. To be honest with you I have no idea what these two doctrines you mention are. I do beleive though that anyone can be saved, but not every one will be. I beleive that Jesus paid the penalty of sin for everyone if they choose His gift 2Pe3:9, Joh 4:10, Rom 6:23, and if we choose to accept his gift of salvation God will impart more/other spiritual gifts to beleivers as is his good pleasure 1Cor chap 12 also Eph 4:8. But most of all I believe that Matt 37-40, Mar 12:30-31, Luke 10:27 Joh 13:34 take preeminence over all others. I don't know everything and I'm continuously learning, but, I know God loves me, Jesus died for me, and the Holy spirit comforts me, and I love Him with all my heart, soul, and mind.Thats my personal relationship with Him. |

Dear Uma, Knowing the terminology and the history of Judeo-Christian theology certainly is not a prerequisite for salvation. It is pretty handy to have a tag, though, as a short hand in discussion. Knowing the history of Christian thought is also useful since human beings tend to make the same sort of mistakes over time. It is a blessing, however, that all we have to do is invest some time reading, and the great preachers of the past, though long dead, can rise up and preach to us again! I was updating my E-Sword today, when I noticed the quote that Rick Meyers has on his web page. It is by Johann Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press. He said, "Religious truth is captive in a small number of little manuscripts which guard the common treasures, instead of expanding them. Let us break the seal which binds these holy things; let us give wings to truth that it may fly with the Word, no longer prepared at vast expense, but multitudes everlastingly by a machine which never wearies to every soul which enters life." Electronic media has far exceeded his wildest dreams. I appreciate you taking the time to explain the doctrines that you espouse. More than that, I appreciate your love of our Savior and your commitment to studying to show yourself approved. I commend you in both! I, too, believe that Jesus paid the penalty for the fallen nature and specific sins of those who willingly embrace the wonderful gift of salvation. That is what is called "particular redemption" by the theologians. How they state it is roughly like this: The atonement of Jesus Christ is sufficient for all fallen men, but it is only efficient for those who are saved. We deem that Christ's sacrifice was not for the lost, since they have chosen to pay for their sin themselves. I was curious about your original statement as it reminded me of something one of my professors, Dr. Terry Chrisope said in a recent lecture. "It helps me to take sin seriously when I remember that that sin I just committed, if it had been the only sin in history, would still have required the sacrifice of Christ in order to effect my salvation." I love the study of God, His Word, and the incredible history of redemption. You'll find I ask a lot of questions of people who post on the forum. Primarily that is because I want people to understand for themselves what they believe and take ownership for those beliefs. Indeed, a person who simply spouts what he has heard is no better than a heathen. We learn the most when we are uncomfortable, when we question why we believe what we believe. Doubts are powerful things, because they prompt us to turn to God and seek the truth from Him. It is just so difficult for people to make that step. In Him, Doc PS Universalism can be defined as the belief that all men are saved as a result of the atonement of Christ. I'm glad that you recognized it as an unscriptural error! :-) |
