Hello ex.
1 Sam 3:14 Therefore, I swore to the house of Eli, `The guilt of Eli's house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.' "
Your premise is wrong. :)

What's the point of Jesus dying for everyone?
Discussion in 'Baptist Theology & Bible Study' started by Isaiah40:28, May 1, 2007.

How does it work ex? If Jesus died for all then why do some go to Hell?
If the effects of the sacrifice are not applied without our consent then doesn't that mean that the punishment for sins is extracted twice? Once from Christ and then from the rejectors. What sin can send a man to Hell once Christ has paid the penalty due to sin?
If you notice in John Jesus says of those opposing Him that they did so because they were not His sheep, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep... (John 10:26.) He doesn't say they are not His sheep because they don't believe but they don't believe because they are not His sheep. just as the Father knows me and I know the Father--and I lay down my life for the sheep... (John 10:15.) Only the sheep.
NU 21:6 Then the LORD sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died.
This, by the way, is before the remedy was given. How do you answer this?
NU 21:9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived.
PS 147:19 He has revealed his word to Jacob, his laws and decrees to Israel. 20 He has done this for no other nation; they do not know his laws.
Since God only revealed His word to Israel and since faith comes from hearing the message, (Rom 10:17), then any idea that those who have not heard will be saved is contradictory to scripture.
RO 10:14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
PS 147:19 He has revealed his word to Jacob, his laws and decrees to Israel. 20 He has done this for no other nation; they do not know his laws.
This is limited atonement proved along with 1 Sam 3:14 Therefore, I swore to the house of Eli, `The guilt of Eli's house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.' "

18 "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God." -

Jesus DID die for the whole world.
But "World" does not necessarily mean "every person that ever lived without exception". The question you and I must answer is WHICH "kosmos" did Christ die for?

How you know you are not telling them a lie? Just wondering.
-
If not, does it have to be the child's father?
Can two non-elect parents have an elect child?
Where do I find these answers in the Bible? -

I was born to non-Christians.
Acts 2:39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off--for all whom the Lord our God will call."
As useful as ever webdog? :)

BTW...sanctification is not justification, so your 1 Cor. proof text is anything but. -
Say to a stranger: "God loves you and Christ died for you."
If election is false, and free-willism is true, this statement is true. If election is true and free-willism false, then this is a lie to many strangers. In fact, it is a mockery of God's love because you may be saying it to somone God hates, and you are falsely contradicting God.
----------
Say to a stranger: "God gave his only begotten Son so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." Or simply say, "If you repent of your sins and believe on Jesus, you will be saved"
If election is false, these statements are true. In fact, the first one is a particular favorite of free-willers. If election is true, these statements are still true. The person you are speaking to may not be one of the "whosoever" who believes because we don't know who is elect and who is not, but the statement is still true. Believe and you will not perish. The second statement is also true whether or not election is true. If you repent of your sins and trust in Jesus, you shall be saved. You don't know if the person will repent or not, but you're still telling him/her the truth.
In fact, I really like the way Spurgeon put it: Sinner, trust in Jesus: and if thou dost perish trusting in Jesus, I will perish with thee. I will make my bed in hell, side by side with thee, sinner, if thou canst perish trusting in Christ, and thou shalt lie there, and taunt me to all eternity for having taught thee falsely, if we perish. But that can never be; those who trust in Jesus shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of His hand. Come to Jesus, and He will in no wise cast thee out.
----------
You witness any way you want. If you want to risk contradicting God, that's your business. I would rather witness and present the Gospel in a way that cannot possibly be wrong. -
I see you blank this webdog. :)
I'm with the beaver and Spurgeon. I wonder why He punishes the reprobates children in this way, it was hardly their fault now was it webdog?
