Spurgeon; Remember that if you are a child of God, you will never be happy in sin. You are spoiled for the world, the flesh, and the devil. When you were regenerated there was put into you a vital principle, which can never be content to dwell in the dead world. You will have to come back, if indeed you belong to the family.

William Gurnall; None sink so far into hell as those that come nearest heaven, because they fall from the greatest height.

As the city since 1967 has been in Democratic control. Another good reminder why ones hope is only found in & through Christ Alone amen!!

In 2017, Baltimore had 343 homicides, a new record for killings per capita — more than New York City, which has 14 times Baltimore’s population. In 2018, there were 309 homicides, & so far in 2019, there were 171 homicides as of July 11 — up from 147 homicides at the same time last year. Baltimore is quite literally experiencing “American carnage.”

Bernie Sanders; Once compared Baltimore to “a Third World country”

Spurgeon; We have an unchanging gospel, which is not today green grass & tomorrow dry hay; but always the abiding truth of the immutable Jehovah."

Truth is the New Hate Speech, to those who want to surepress the Only Truth, that can set the Sinner free, Christ Alone amen!

Planned Parenthood, the brainchild of the radical evolution atheist Margaret Sanger, whose 1922 book, The Pivot of Civilization, is a vile, pro-evolution, how-to abortion diatribe that was reportedly a book Hitler had as his bedside reading and the Nazis the following decade would freely use Sanger's extremist ideas to formulate Nazi genocidal 'health' and 'hygiene' policies against the Jews ultimately leading to the "Final Solution" or the Holocaust.

Jim; LK 13:3 I tell you, nay; but unless ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Wicked Jim; Jhn 3:19-20 And this is the condemnation: that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

You surepress His truths in acts of unrighteousness, all the while, in being held in fu responsibility for your actions, with out any excuses, I didn’t know!; Rom 1:18-32, Rom 2:13-14!

May the Good Lord have saving mercies on your fallen soul, to pull you out of your great gulf of self-deception you clearly are in, apart from the saving gifts of repentance & a new spiritual heart of flesh amen!

Pro 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

O’ Lord may your people proclaim Your truths that those who are outside of You, are in dier need of experiencing of having their spiritual hearts of stone removed in & through You Alone amen!

Pro 22:1 reminds us that “A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold."

All the men in the world are either vessels of mercy or vessels of wrath, according to the will of God. (Thomas Hooker)

Thomas Watson; A man's greatest care should be for that place where he lives longest; therefore eternity should be his scope.

Please explain the source material of your comment to me for it seems that you think I am of the strip of those who are offended by the doctrine of election and the Sovereignty of God. If you gleaned that from anything I have said then that is on you because I have said or done no such thing. My last comment was plain enough in describing a 'gospel' without election and was in no way "placing the Triune God on trial." But you know this already, so please explain the cause of such a misleading comment on your behalf.

As He never tells us he sent His son to die for every man every where, for since every man isn’t & willn’t be saved that would imply Christ paid their ransom price but in vain! John Owen put it so well "Did Christ die for all of the sins of all men- Did He die for all of the sins of some men- Or did he die for some of the sins of all men?"

As He then comments "If the last be true then all men have some sins to answer for & no man can be saved. If the first be true then why are all men n’t saved & freed from the grip & punishment of sin? You answer "because of unbelief. I ask is this unbelief n’t a sin? If it be a sin then why must that hinder a man more than any other sin for which Christ died? We are therefore shut up to the second conclusion which is the proposition we lay down as truth. (Christ died for all of the sins of some men)

Pro 16:4 The LORD has made all things for Himself, yes, even the wicked for the day of doom

Our first duty is to believe, but there is nothing in the Bible which we need to shrink from believing. “For an empty-headed man will be wise, when a wild donkey’s colt is born a man” (Job 11:12

Jhn 5:40, “But you aren’t willing to come to Me that you may have life.” In this little verse our Lord is telling us our fundamental & necessary things: Every man is spiritually dead & dead men need life (“come to Me that you may have life”).

There is life in Jesus Christ only for those who come for it (one must “come”). No one by nature ever will come (“you are not wiiling to come”). This verse lays the groundwork for the blessed doctrine of unconditional election. It expresses the biblical view of the fallen will: “You aren’t willing to come to Me.” Left to himself no one will come to Christ ever.

“What is the use of arguing about whosoever will when we live in a world of whosoever will nots. The universal condition of the will nots” makes the doctrine of unconditional election necessary if any one is to be saved.

1 Cor 12:3 Therefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed, and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, except by the Holy Ghost.

Mat 11:27 “All things are delivered unto Me by My Father, & no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, & he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.
Goes right back to what fallen mankind will’nt & can’t do, apart from sovereignty God, being bestowed upon one. Through His amazing life changing grace amen!; Jhn 6:37, 6:44

If it weren’t for election, ones fallen will would take one to hell; Eph
2:1:3, Rom 3:10-12, Ecc 7:20, etc. You can only get rid of election by getting rid of the Bible. As the atonement isn’t designed to render men inexcusable, but rather it’s designed to save some of those who stand before God with any excuses.

A good read here; http://www.reformedreader.org/suforall.htm

Grace is a provision for men who are so fallen they can’t lift the axe of justice; who are so corrupt they can’t change their own natures; so adverse to God that they can’t turn to Him of their own strength; so blind they can’t see Him, so deaf they can’t hear Him, & so dead that
He Himself must open their graves." -G.S. Bishop

Let me put this as kindly as I can. You would have a point if anyone in the history of the reformed church ever understood limited atonement to mean that Christ's atonement was of limited value. Sadly for you the term 'limited' always refers to the application, not the worth, and the concept is therefore exactly that of particular redemption.
But, as I asked before, of what practical value is it to know that Christ's atonement is of infinite value, if the trinity has determined that it will only be efficacious for the elect?
You make it sound like your theology turns on this fact, but I cannot see you ever explaining exactly why. It still doesn't enable you to say to any particular sinner "Christ died for you" or even your cherished "God loves you". So what's the point of knowing of the infinite value of the atonement?

O’ glorious it’s to proclaim no King but Christ Alone amen!

Spurgeon; If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. & if they will perish, let them perish with our arms around their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled with the teeth of our exertions, & let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.
