I just gave you one earlier today! Oblivious often? How are you making out on finding that mysterious and elusive universal redemptive covenant in scripture that God made with the entire world?

Really? So you've been aware that you've been a carnie for how long now?

I'm okay with my analysis, thank you. The passage is straightforward enough. But if you're itchin' to put on a sideshow for us, just follow your impulse...

I have a better idea: Show me one verse in the bible whereby faithful obedience and service to the King of kings and Lord of lords isn't the very warp 'n' woof of salvation and the reason for it. Don't you know that God calls everyone for a PURPOSE!? You're not saying very much when you try to...

Most especially when the English is not favorable to your pet presuppositions or cast aspersions on your god Volition. Did you burn incense to your god this morning also before you did your little study?

You sound a wee bit angry. Having a bad hair day? You did admit that Christ alone ratified the NC in his own blood that he shed on the cross. Since none of Abraham's descendants (physical or spiritual) ever participated in its ratification, then this makes the NC UNILATERAL in nature. And...

You just contradicted yourself. Since you now admit that all humanity w/o exception is not a party to the New Covenant, then how did the entire human race reap any benefits of this covenant? You just admitted (unwittingly) that the NC is unilateral in nature. :rolleyes: And since this is...

There is an old adage about the Great Gospel Paradox, which I have to think you're well aware of: BEFORE one can accept the good news about the Second Man sent, one must first accept the very bad news about his own condition.

Since when did you believe in efficacious grace? Are you saying that God gifted sinners with a new nature, a new heart, new eyes that can see, and new ears that can hear? IOW, explain to me just how did fix the problem? I know that what you just wrote is bald-faced lie since you say in your...

I have a question for all FWs: Did Christ alone ratify the New Covenant with his blood sacrifice on the Cross or did the entire human race w/o exception also participate in that ratification?

I wonder which part of the text FWs CANNOT understand? Maybe they stumble so badly because of the term "cannot"?

Of course it can. FWs believe that with all their hearts. God dropped his crystal ball into space and time and spied out who all would come to know him first and choose their own eternal destiny, and then God simply rubber-stamped their good choices by predestining what sinners had already...

Continued from 11,269... Isa 48:11 11 "For My own sake , for My own sake , I will act; For how can My name be profaned? And My glory I will not give to another. NASB And, Ezek 36:22 22 "Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake , O...

What follows is a long post that winds up my main argument that I began in 10,910, then further supplemented in my 10,938 that deals with Federal Headship. In the former post, I hypothesized Adam's obedience to God's command and how God's love for Adam's progeny would have flowed through...

Oh...so now you go from talking about a "spirit" to the Holy Spirit? No, Scripture is spiritual truth. If Scripture and the Spirit are one and the same then why does scripture teach that believers are born of both? A little redundant, isn't it?

I didn't cite a spirit, but scripture. This is what the Gospel does! Are you so blind as to how the world at large receives the Gospel and how the world hates God's people!?

Yesterday, I presented as food for thought a hypothetical situation whereby there was no Fall because Adam the Federal Head of humanity remained faithful and true to God. I believe I reasonably concluded from that kind of situation that God's love for Adam's progeny would have been bestowed...

Only in your world would you consider powerless, helpless sinners "SCUM"! And your FWT does not believe that the Lord Jesus Christ efficaciously FIXED our problem! Jesus is only a potential Savior, remember? He only presents opportunities for people to be saved. What EFFECTIVELY "fixes" FWs'...

And with you as well. Perhaps the Lord will yet teach you that Christ did not come to bring peace into this world but a sword and division (Mat 10:34-39)! Gospel Truth divides even the household of God.

Perhaps, but I don't see that as part of the test or prophecy.
