YEP, there's the BUT....the limitation. They SHOULD, BUT.... :chuckle:
Is the blood effectual when it isn't accessed?
No, it's trampled underfoot.
1 Corinthians 1:21
For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
Are you answering yes to the question...
Did Jesus die for ALL men?
Spoiler
Thanks Lon. I watched AMR getting viciously attacked by the Evil One when he wasn't even addressing the Evil One. Then I got attacked by the Evil One when I wasn't even addressing the Evil One. The Evil One thought he was the Great Defender of the poor unsaved, and Sonnet was needing correction....not protection. So what does the Evil One do? He attacks and lies without any justification. He says gross horrible things and then brags about it.
I doubt any of us believe exactly the same thing on every issue. But, some love the Lord, and some love themselves. AMR is not one who loves himself, and I'm sick of seeing him attacked, as he was done by that DIRTY SOCK MAN with the Evil Eyes.
I cannot be any clearer.
I accept that I am a wicked man that deserves the eternal death penalty. I accept that I am only saved by Grace. I affirm that you have every right to say negative things about me.
I simply believe you are obfuscating if Jesus died for all or not, by being unable to answer yes or no to the following question... per Matthew 5:37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil. (You can even mock the “evil” reference towards me...)
Did Jesus Die for ALL?
I don’t believe you will answer this, and we all may have “pride”... but only pride could keep you from refusing to answer yes or no...
Thus... I exit... validated by your lack of response in (yes or no) that you attempt to teach 2 conflicting doctrines by using obfuscation...
I hate no one... I am imperfect and fail... and I can be difficult... I love all... as in full disclosure... I am constrained by his love...
The “evil” part of me...
That’s me getting in God’s way.
:E4e:
# I’m fairly confident you will refuse to answer the question with a yes or no...
For the record... it’s been real, fun and even real fun...
Consider this a full apology for misrepresenting you... if you answer YES to “Did Jesus die for ALL?”
Misquote me... and I’ll respond in full... when least expected...
