Gandhi doesn't play chess.

smaller, I am accustomed to your inability to answer simple questions.
Let me help you. On philo's thread you claim to know God calls homoism an abomination. Paul asked: Do we continue in sin so grace might abound? His answer was no, we don't. I am sorry to see you offer beanieboy a false sense of security, not only in the afterlife, but right here on earth. If you know something is wrong according to God Himself, and you are aware it leads to an early death or disease, why on earth you would keep them in such a thing is beyond me. Unless of course you hate him or really just don't care.
I'm sorry you don't want to see beanieboy out of his perverse deathstyle, smaller.
It's sad you won't even take a minute to tell him how God really feels about his acts.
Your type of love could possibly lead to beanieboy getting diseases and costing him years off his life. That is a sort of love I want no part of. I don't want to see beanieboy become a statistic on the alter of perversity.

There are some really mean people on this board. They don't care enough about unbelievers to warn them of the destruction that awaits them. They lie to them and lead them down the wrong path saying such things as "God loves everybody".

Doesn't the bible say, "for God so loved THE WORLD"?
Righteousness? I have yet to see it, you smug, arrogant jerk.
The way you are now, I want to live forever without you. That is why I reject your bloodthirsty God. Because of you. I don't want to spend eternity with people that act like they are holier than thou, then when called on it, claim that it is Jesus within them. I don't want to spend eternity that say hate is love, and love is hate. I don't want to spend eternity with people that want to kill off all gay people. If you represent God, I want nothing to do with him. How many times do I need to say this? It's you that I am rejecting.

Pretty "judgemental" there beanieboy, I thought you gave all that up ? You don't seem to be afraid to judge, it's a pity you are merely "judgemental" instead of being able to "judging rightly".

Hey, beanie, why don't you start a thread where we can post halves of stuff? Half a bible verse. Half truths. Stuff like that.

Does it or does it not say that Jesus was sent because God loved everyone?
God didn't send Christ for the saved. He came for the sinners.
Or are you suggesting that God sent Christ only for those who already believed, and only loved the saved?
Kind of makes Christ's death pointless.
Your 'pun' shows that you are being self-righteous. Beanieboy might find salvation in The Lord. Jesus said that everyone that is not against Him is for Him. He may be working with Beanie, and you might be surprised by what He may yet become. Merely speaking about The Lord has already had effects upon Him that are eternal. The things that we do are important, which is the reason that I try to speak against the heresy that you spout. I have yet to see anyone else (professing Christ) to agree with you completely. Do you know of anyone who does?Originally posted by smaller
You know I can't imagine beanieboy, being what he is and all, being CHOSEN by God to HEAR and UNDERSTAND, yet he has the greater predicament having been called from THAT position (no pun intended)
It is appointed unto men, once, to die; but after this, the judgement. No one will get into Heaven on works. No one will get into Heaven because Jesus died upon the cross. Those who are related (only by adoption, since Jesus is The Only Begotton of The Father) to The Lord (Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost, men's relationship with Him) The Lord will be allowed into His Home. You don't let strangers into your home, even ones who might come to your door, saying, "I'm a good man, I've obeyed the Ten Commandments, let me in," do you? No. They have to be related to you, either by blood or by your friendship, however you define that. The same holds true for The Lord, except He demands perfection. Nothing that defiles will be allowed into Heaven, and no one who is lost will have The Blood of The Lamb applied to them, without having had faith in Him in this life.Do you think this CALLING upon him is to DAMN HIS FELLOW SINNERS to BURN IN HELL or to REPRESENT God's Love even to THEM?
That has been proven, time and again. You consider me and all those who believe the truth of salvation to be beneath you, and shouldn't try to deny it.You see AIMiel, I do not think that I am better than anyone else.
It is the application (or lack thereof) that we differ over.No SIN will make the BLOOD OF CHRIST of NO EFFECT. Never has, never will.
I never said that. He died for them, but His Blood is not applied to their lives, unless they believe in Him.What makes us think Christ DID NOT DIE for His OTHER enemies??? Or does Christ ONLY LOVE His friends???

No it does not. "Everyone" is never mentioned as to whom God loves.
Christ came to redeem(or save) the elect. Yes, all of the elect are sinners.

In my version of the Bible, it says that Jesus came to heal the sick, not the well. It says that he leaves the flock to find the 1 lost sheep.
It doesn't say, "for God so loved the world* that whosoever* should believe in him..."
*world, as in, only the elect
*except for the sinners, which he would just as soon squash like a bug..."
Is that your interpretation?
Weird that God only loved the elect, yet Jesus made disciples out of people who were previously nonbelieving sinners.
Odd, huh? Too bad you didn't set him straight.

Keyword = sheep. Notice He looks for His sheep. Even though they may be away from the flock, they are still His sheep. They just haven't come into the fold yet. (i.e. the doctrine of election)
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
If election is true, then why does this verse state "whosoever believes" will be saved? The Bible says that faith is a gift from God (Rom. 12:3); that it is God who grants belief (Phil. 1:29); it is God who produces belief in a person (John 6:29); and only those appointed to eternal life by God are the ones who believe (Acts 13:48). Also, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Rom. 10:17). In order for someone to believe, they must hear the gospel of Jesus (1 Cor. 15:1-4) because the gospel is the power of God for salvation (Rom. 1:16). There is no other name under heaven besides Jesus by which anyone may be saved (Act 4:12). And, one must receive Jesus (John 1:12) in order to be saved.
Since these things are true, then how can the "whosoever" of John 3:16 apply to those who never heard the Word of God? There are multitudes who never heard the gospel at all, who never had the chance. Consider those who lived before the time of Christ. Yet they NEVER heard ANYTHING about Christianity, the atonement, the resurrection, the holy scriptures, or the gospel. It was never preached to them at all. How, then, can the "whosoever" apply to them when they have no chance of hearing the Word of God concerning Jesus and salvation? From what I know of scripture, they cannot.
Though Jesus’ sacrifice was sufficient for all, it was not efficacious for all. Jesus only bore the sins of the elect. Support for this position is drawn from such scriptures as Matt. 26:28 where Jesus died for ‘many'; John 10:11, 15 which say that Jesus died for the sheep (not the goats, per Matt. 25:32-33).

One who argues predestination calls God a liar, and is a lazy person.

Yeah CoP, and MURDER is no longer a sin either. That has surely passed away from today's culture as a SIN right?
