happy Passover, I think Resurrection Week and Passover coincide this year. The reason they don't every year is because of Romish/Orthodox Church.

Jesus was crucified as the Passover lamb

'AFTER 3 days / nights'! If this is not literal, is Jonah also only a metaphorical preachers story? You have no leg to stand on when some Romie questions the Genesis account. For Rome accommodates millions of years of evolution.

When I addressed the divorce issue, I ran up against why the KJV, Luther and some perceived established church traditions couldn't all be wrong. Much like paedos.

But what you've bought into is man made. Free will, by definition, must allow man the sole and sovereign right to a decision.

No brainer!

It is a dangerous thing to lean on mans own understanding to explain that which belongs in the hands of God alone.

From eternity past, God has always existed. In eternity past, before the foundations of the world, God made the plan and ordained the Creation, the Fall, the Incarnation and Resurrection, and the Salvation of His people - FOR HIS GLORY.
We don't understand that fully. What we do understand fully is that God is absolutely just and loving, and that no wrong can be found in Him.

But the Arminian man is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He knows the secrets of the universe and without his rationale understanding and will, nobody goes to heaven or hell.
Fischer says that what God ordained in eternity past gives him a bad image. So he writes a book to give the image a makeover, and restores the glory where it belongs - to the man. But Fischer's real claim to fame is that he dissed the 'C' word. Armin's are rushing to him because - he hates Calvinism.

If you need any further Bible teaching just ask a Presbitarian,

I have no idea why you are making this distinction. Other then to say it messes up who we are, who God is, and who we are in Christ.

The ONLY sinless person who lived on planet earth was a man called Jesus.
Ever heard of Him?
HE was the Son of God.
Oh for better teaching in the churches!!!!

For you, the cross accomplished nothing. We are not just before God. The righteousness that is imputed to us is imperfect and lacking because we are still sinners in the same sense as those who are under the curse and wrath of God.

Also the word sinner is a different GREEK word to that used and translated wicked.

Doesnt your answer support what others have said here? Did not Davids sin impact his children? Did not Sarah agree to relations with a Bondwoman? Was it not Noah that was drunken? Was not Eli a hypocrite when handling his office?
The one that puts me to silence is Samuels children, supporting GRACE and election
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

The one that scares me is this one, "Did not Davids sin impact his children?"

I don't know how this works but it's there. God gave fathers the right to be the head of the house. That put's the responsibility squarely on his head.

With Moses, I believe that he didn't want to go to war with his nagging Egyption wife over circumcisn. God nearly kills him for his disobedience until she relents and SHE performs the deeds, ironically.

With Eli, he DID address the issue with his sons. But God didn't like it that on such grave sins as stealing from the temple and using their position to have sex with women, Eli only wagged his fingers at his sons and said tsk tsk. God took care of it Himself.

Did Jesus die for all?
'world must mean world'.
You have no biblical understanding,no way to determine context. All you have is your homebrewed version of Armininism. World is then 'everyone', 'all creatiion' 'saved & unsaved.'
Lurker tried to point out that context should be considered & provided some verses to show how 'world' is used differently.
'No diference', 'same' was your response because you hate loosing. Then you deal with the verses where one is (physical) land & people, the other (spiritual) sin

J4, they ARE different

The 'world' in Ephesians maybe 'was the whole world (except a few pockets)?'
But babies didn't know about the good standing in Ephesus? The word 'world' IS qualified by context.
