That's much clearer. Your earlier post gave me the impression that the early church believed that they were all-powerful, like God. Thanks for clarifying.
All I said was we were made in Gods image and it was twisted to mean we are made all powerful - which is rediculous
That's clear now, but your post saying that "it" was the common view of the early church was in reply to Magenta's post where she had said:
"That's a logical fallacy. God is all powerful. Are you? No need to answer. I know the answer already."
I realize these are Gospel Truths you cant receive.
Which begat false testimony, badgering, bait and switch and various other spawn of
I view it from Jesus perspective Lk 19:10
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
And you say He failed that objective.
You saying Jesus failed to save them from their sinful ways, of loving darkness more than light. Thats just being a natural man,being a sinner. Cant Christ save a sinner from sin ? He is the Savior from sin ! Listen to this Matt 1:21
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
The Angel should had said: Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins if they let Him !!
A doctrine invented centuries after Christ and the Apostles is the Gospel? Preposterous.
There is not a single book of the Bible you can read through that doesn't utterly refute the philosophy that is calvinism. I would urge everyone to avoid any "isms"

As always, as a calvinist you are operating on the false premise that there is only one will and that is God's will. There is man's will also which often conflicts that of God's.
Jesus wanted to gather Jerusalem's children but guess what? They refused. Not a failure on Jesus' part.
Matthew 23:37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing."
Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
I make perfect sense. You just insist on being willfully ignorant.
No, so that means He cannot make ...
Unless you want to declare God has no free will, you will need to rethink your definition.
All is only convenient to prove Calvinism in certain passages, but in other usages, let’s say it means something else.
Not all the lost are saved. If you want to consider that as Jesus failing, that's up to your "better" judgment.
