1 | The 'Kosmos' in 1 John | 1 John 2:2 | CDBJ | 19464 | ||
Tim, I agree with you on this one, Christ died for the sins of the whole World, for believers and unbelievers. What Jesus did in effect was to eliminate the sin issue; now the issue for the unbeliever isn't sin, but Jesus Christ Himself and what will the unbeliever do about Him, believe in Him or reject Him. Very simple for mankind, but it cost God His unique Son. John 16:7-11, this is directed toward the unbelievers in the World, because verse 9 says so, and we see that the issue is Jesus not people's sins. CDBJ | ||||||
2 | The 'Kosmos' in 1 John | 1 John 2:2 | Morant61 | 19466 | ||
Greetings CDBJ! One point I forgot to include in my response to Lionstrong was the following (hopefully you see this my friend, if not I'll include it later): Romans 1 makes the point that God's wrath is agains the pagan or the Gentile. Romans 2 makes the point that God's wrath is also against the Jew, who has the Law but violates it anyway. Romans 3 makes the point that we are all sinners, but Jesus has appeased God's wrath against us through His death. Now, we can be reconciled to Him, if we accept the gift of salvation. In line with what your saying, I always tell people that the only sin which will send you to hell is to reject Christ. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

3 | The 'Kosmos' in 1 John | 1 John 2:2 | CDBJ | 19469 | ||
Amen, and again I say Amen!! I would back you up on this last statement all the way. That most important one that will back us up is the Lord Himself, with promis after promis. There are a lot of, so called believer that don't know what it means to believe and trust in Christ. When the word believe is used in the Bible, the Amplified version hits the nail right on the head. It says in ref. to believing in Christ that one must (trust in, cling to and relie on Jesus), and brother that mean 100 persent or nothing at all! We can't add a little bit of anything we do, because if we do, then is not trusting in Him!!! CDBJ | ||||||
