6. Christianity – Founded by Jesus and his disciples, especially the apostle Paul (c. 30-68 A.D.), who taught that God’s love & POS includes everyone and that the NT superseded the OT. However, knowledge of the NT was limited by hand-copying, so most church leaders deferred to the bishop in Rome...

So, you confess again the sin of impugning the righteous love of God for humanity, however accidentally (cf. Matt. 27:11). In order to love people identically, He would have to treat them fairly, which He surely does, although Scripture could explain that truth a little more clearly, so some...

Why do you say that? What do you "realize" I stated?

Well, Paul said saved souls will receive immortal spiritual bodies as they are resurrected to heaven (1Cor. 15:42-54).

I read this to be answered by Paul in Acts 16:31 as “Believe in the Lord Jesus.” (ACTS 16:31) This is GRFS in a nutshell. However, reading further we find that GRFS can be stated in various ways, which may cause confusion. Some statements (e.g. ACTS 16:31, & Eph. 2:8-9) are in terms of...

TOJ #29: Do good even to evil-doers. [Matt. 5:38-42//Luke 6:29-30] The principle Jesus wants to supersede that of limited vengeance or “eye for eye” (Exod. 21:24, Lev. 24:20, Deut. 19:21) is found in Proverbs 25:21-22. Whenever we are insulted, we should consider the source of lies (Eph. 6:12)...

Listen to yourself! Your doubletalk demonstrates the contradiction: love toward some is NOT omnilove. Any English teacher would tell you that as a matter of mere semantics.

It sounds more like we can be saved without being saved.

Yes, but why do you apparently disagree?

I agree, but does that mean you agree with what I said?

God's requirement for salvation (cf. Acts 16:30).

On the contrary, you exemplify the fact that a natural woman both can and cannot comprehend GW.

You've got it backwards. I am the one who believes omnilove and omnipotence are not mutually exclusive, so YOU need to show how they are such--but as illustrated by Reason for the Exodus.

Which came first: God's omnipotence or God's omnilove? THAT is the more relevant question for this thread .

It sounds like you were involved with a few confused souls. Jesus first spoke of the HS in John 14, 15 & 16 in connection with further comfort and guidance--not tongues. The HS is who cleans vessels. What you witnesses most likely was emotionalism rather than touching by the HS. I am glad your...

Well, you are the first soul I have met who said that, so please explain the difference per Scripture re GRFS. Thanks!

Surely "on all flesh" was a typo!

So you believe there is more than one salvation?!

Not based upon attempts with the TULIPists on this thread! I do acknowledge the need for perseverance and that with God all things are possible, but I also realize that both Jesus (in Matt. 13:14-15) and Paul (in Acts 28:26-27) expressed frustration with those who are closed-minded.

No, but because it does not ignore like you do: TOP #19: On Judgment Day God will enforce just punishment via souls reaping what they have sown or done. [RM 2:5-6, cf. TOP #83] Punishment is just because God does not show favoritism (EPH 6:9, COL 3:25, 1PT 1:17). TOP #221: God is just...
