GOD has told us many times that no one dies (suffers, goes to hell) for the sins of another. Deut 24:16, Jeremiah 31:30, Ezekiel 18:20. It is an injustice to account a person guilty of the crimes of another...this doctrine blasphemes GOD's goodness and righteousness with these assertions.

Plug Romans 5:19 into Strong's concordance and you will find that one of the meanings of καθίστημι, kathistēmi - MADE (ie, created to be) is to show or exhibit one's self or to come forward as already a sinner. Thus this verse is NOT PROOF that the GOD who is light creates HIS bride as evil...

If this is ALL that sanctification means, ie no choice of the individual involved, only GOD's choice, then why were some angels chosen for sanctification, ie holiness (same meaning), and not all?? Mark 8:38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the...

Yes, true and it is how an inanimate object can be called holy though it has no volition to choose holiness. But to be holy like the LORD our GOD is holy is to be holy by our free will, our volition, and is only fulfilled when we are by our own volition sinless, to never sin again due to being...

Perfect means complete and Christians are NOT by any means perfectly sanctified in righteousness or Heb 12:5-11 is a lie. I like your theology but you are too loose with the words. If we are perfect in HIS sight HE has no need to train us in righteousness by harsh discipline. Until we are holy...

I agree with you. Internet Poster ignores the one situation where we have just such a choice, ie, then we are offered conflicting suggestions as the nature of the reality of in which neither side can be proven... Then we will inevitably align ourselves with the pov that seems to us offer the...

In 12 pages of argument, no one has even mentioned this interpretation of GODly reality let alone discussed it.... The current definition of omniscience is from the pagan Greeks brought to the church by the Fathers: GOD knows everything that can be know from eternity past to eternity future...

IF you are given a choice between options then you can decide which option you think will give you the most happiness, choosing which option is best for you. And if you can choose which belief is probably best for you then upon new experiential evidence, you can change your mind.

If we knew the difference between being alive in spirit and being dead in spirit, no one would choose death. Death is therefore not our choice but the result or consequence of a choice we thought was a better one for our life. When we heard the gospel proclaimed when YHWH proclaimed it to every...

Because God simply takes pleasure in rejecting them? GOD takes no pleasure in the death of anyone, even the wicked, and would rather see them repent: GOD does all things for HIS pleasure but HE takes NO PLEASURE in the death of the wicked - therefore HE did not create them evil to go to hell...

To interpret this as meaning they are without any sin is too contrary to too many other verses that indicate that we are sinful at our conception etc, so it must mean something else. Perhaps it is referring to overt, obvious sin, that people who are sinners who are living ordinary lives and...

The plan of GOD for our lives here in this world is to have HIS sinful elect live with the reprobate unforgivable weeds for the one purpose of becoming fully repentant and holy in HIS sight as explained in the parable of the weeds, Matt 13:24-30, to speed up the coming of the day of Judgement: 2...

Sin is enslaving. A sinner cannot seek or do righteousness. Being born as sinners as a euphemism for being created in Adam as a sinner denies then making a free will choice to be a sinner after birth sometime later in our life, and the cognitive dissonance this creates inlight of HIS attributes...

Just as sin proves that we have a free will, that is, HE cannot cause anyone to be a sinner by any means at all, so does HIS anger at us prove our evil is by our free will choice to be evil in HIS sight as it is unjust to be angry at something natural, that is, for being as HE created us. There...

I believe a number of things... The only sinners going to hell are condemned already, Jn 3:18. Only those who have never believed, that is, have NEVER put their faith in YHWH as their GOD and in the Son as their saviour from sin. From their first free will decision they have rebuked HIM as a...

How interesting that no matter how I write it, there are those who replay or reframe it back to me as saying just the opposite of what I wrote. Always, sigh. PCE theology puts everyone's choice of the FATE they wanted as the REASON FOR, THE PRECURSOR to HIS predestination of our lIVES to...

As you might have noticed over the last 5 years or so, I am most decidedly NOT a Calvinist.

Of course I answered...judgement is the fulfilment of the predestination! No judgement and predestination fails and HE is revealed as a charlatan. And HIS predestination of people to heaven or hell is NOT UNJUST IF HIS reason for predestination is based upon where they put their faith, in HIM...

Their condemnation was their sentence, already given as per Jn 3:18. Their judgement refers to the fulfillment of their condemnation in their lives, ie, their banishment to the outer darkness. The parable of the weeds teaches us that the judgment has been postponed so the sins of the elect...

It is not available to those who sin the unforgivable sin...
