1 | Did Jesus die _only_ for the elect | 1 Tim 3:1 | Morant61 | 13492 | ||
Greetings Bjanko! In a debate, it is useful if you respond to the points that the other side makes. I just quoted you a whole list of Scriptures, not philosophies, which state that Christ died for all. How do you deal with them from a Calvanistic perspective? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Did Jesus die _only_ for the elect | 1 Tim 3:1 | bjanko | 13496 | ||
I feel sorry for you that your philosophy of man's will as over and above God's sovreignty would rule your interpretation of Scripture. |

Repost from 07-29-01 The following re-post still applies to whoever elects to re-animate a subject of recent long and bitter debate. (originally written to proorizo): I welcome you to the Forum. What follows is no criticism of you, sir. I am merely pointing out the dissension and unending debate the question of election has already caused in the past. On this Forum in the recent past, Calvinism vs. Arminianism has been the subject of a long, bitter debate that left people with hard feelings. I think it very unwise, counterproductive and risky to start up again on what is now a very tired and tiresome debate. There is no need for everybody to go back over all the arguments for each side. We have really had enough of this quarrel. So for the sake of maintaining peace and avoiding hard feelings, I feel it would be better if everyone just dropped the subject. Well over 100 questions and answers have been posted regarding Calvinism vs. Arminianism. --JVH0212 "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity." |

4 | Did Jesus die _only_ for the elect | 1 Tim 3:1 | Morant61 | 13524 | ||
Greetings JVH0212! I appreciate your viewpoint my friend! I have a slightly different take on the issue, simply because I don't normally take things personally. So, I never viewed the discussion I was engaged in as bitter. Further, everyone who participated treated me with nothing but respect. However, I know that many of the forum don't wish another debate on the issue, so I have tried to respect their wishes. I just couldn't resist this time. I was annoyed at seeing Arminism equated with the heresy of Pelagianism. The two have nothing in common whatsoever. The logic used to equate the two is ridiculous. It would be like saying that because Muslims believe in one God that Christians are semi-muslim. So, I challenged this particular individual to address Scripture to back up his claims. He hasn't and apparently he won't. So, out of respect for you and the rest of my friends, I will drop the issue. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim: Thank you for your reply. I have no problem with your decision to challenge the ridiculous logic used to equate Arminiansm with the heresy of Pelagianism. I defer to your judgment in these matters. No personal criticism of you was intended by me. Grace to you, --JVH0212 |

Greetings JVHO212! None taken my friend! Like I said, I normally don't take things personally, but I did in this case. I probably shouldn't have though! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
