    The name of the Antichrist is :Adonikam"

    There was an expletive deletive in an image in the video!!! So I had to redo the entire, and this is better:

    When Christ obtained "eternal redemption" He saved everyone who believes from the foundation of the world

    For thousands of years everyone understood "he" is most contexts includes women. I see no reason for losing that knowledge. I see many reasons why I won't tamper with Scripture and change its wording. If I am disinvited to all the gender neutral parties and rallies, I'll live with that. Take it...

    When Christ obtained "eternal redemption" He saved everyone who believes from the foundation of the world

    I'm redoing my argument on Ps. 49:15 and I thought of you, your claim repetance in sheol would have no effect on God's choice to redeem. God does not redeem indiscriminately; He receives those who approach Him with sincerity. 13 This is the way of those who are foolish, And of those after...

    When Christ obtained "eternal redemption" He saved everyone who believes from the foundation of the world

    Like the atheist who dismisses every proof a miracle occurs, and then points to his "investigation" as proof miracles don't occur, so is "that is nowhere mentioned or implied in Scripture": A Survey of Scriptures Supporting Postmortem Opportunity for Salvation Dt. 32:39 [#A]; 1Sam. 2:6 [#B]...

    When Christ obtained "eternal redemption" He saved everyone who believes from the foundation of the world

    You were, but now you seem to be backing away from that. However, I can agree with everything (generally) you said except the bolded words. You are reading that into the text. The text (in effect) says "the many" judged covered by Christ's sacrfice eagerly wait for Christ's second coming FOR...

    When Christ obtained "eternal redemption" He saved everyone who believes from the foundation of the world

    Christ dealt with sin by His sacrifice, I never said He returns to deal with it again. You misunderstand my argument. The text cannot refer to be people who are alive at his coming because they have "died once" and then undergo "Judgment". When you read this, you assume its talking about...

    When Christ obtained "eternal redemption" He saved everyone who believes from the foundation of the world

    You accuse me of what you do. I can't find a version that reads "to save thoe who are eagly waiting": so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. (Heb. 9:28 NKJ) By altering the text you...

    When Christ obtained "eternal redemption" He saved everyone who believes from the foundation of the world

    Your reply is too long, I'll respond to parts of it.. My time is limited. Justification=salvation (Rom. 8:29f), the text says Christ returns after the judgment to those who eagerly wait...for salvation. so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He...

    Bible Study The prophet David's After Death Experience

    [#E] You have brought up my soul from Sheol This passage describes a vivid experience of deliverance where David, perhaps believing he actually died, was rescued from Sheol. He credits God not merely with temporary relief but with a true restoration to life, lifting him from the depths where...

    No thanks. I like the text just like it is. If I were tampon Tim I might have a different opinion. But I am not.

    When Christ obtained "eternal redemption" He saved everyone who believes from the foundation of the world

    That conflates different events. The Sheep and Goat judgment happens first, before all other judgments. AND the raptured church is seated with Christ during this judgment of Churchgoers, Jesus points to them and calls them "these my brethren": 31 "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and...

    When Christ obtained "eternal redemption" He saved everyone who believes from the foundation of the world

    Again you prove salvation is not glorification, which is required for your interpretation. Christ returns, apart from sin, to save those eagerly waiting. Not to glorify them although that happens later, presumably. The text is talking about people AFTER the judgment. Your interpretation refers...

    God's plan is so perfect, so complex, shortsighted Arminians and Calvinists just can't fathom it.

    I apologize if I sounded "superior", that isn't my intention. This is why I prefer the old style bullentin board "threaded view", precise points got their own thread and it kept track of previous statements. Then following a particular point was easy. Now, after a post or two one forgets what...

    When Christ obtained "eternal redemption" He saved everyone who believes from the foundation of the world

    Even your reply proves these are different phases of salvation and not the same thing. You cannot say: "It all begins at SALVATION, continues with SALVATION, which all leads to SALVATION." They are NOT the same thing. In Romans 8:30 Paul reveals the sequence: Moreover whom He predestined...

    When Christ obtained "eternal redemption" He saved everyone who believes from the foundation of the world

    The text puts the judgment of the sheep and goats AT Christ's second coming, not after the millennial kingdom. The context (Ten Virgins Mt. 25:1-13; "Servants" Mt. 25:14-30) implies the Sheep and Goats are uncommitted members of Christendom, those who went to church but were not converted. Some...

    When Christ obtained "eternal redemption" He saved everyone who believes from the foundation of the world

    The New American Standard also renders καὶ καθ᾽ ὅσον "And inasmuch". This links what is said about Christ to what is said about mankind in general. "Inasmuch" is causal, Jesus did what He did BECAUSE its appointed men die and are judged. To me, everyone (not just you) are reading into this a...

    When Christ obtained "eternal redemption" He saved everyone who believes from the foundation of the world

    I have no comment on the "G" theory, I don't understand it. Origen rejected Clement, but lots of what he said is rejected also. I agree with Clement: So I think it is demonstrated that God (being good) and the Lord (being powerful) both save with a righteousness and equality that extends to...
