The Mercy of the Lord Endureth Forever - Except for the Billions Burning in Hell for Eternity.

[Theo1689]

That verse does not apply to apologetics amongst believers. It applies to evangelism of the unbeliever who is resisting the Gospel. Its not about having to refute false teaching.

I see...
So you think discussion amongst believers should include being rude and insulting.
Sorry, I'm going to have to disagree.

Do you really need to know why I have hope? No, you do not...

Don't know, don't care.

Confronting false teaching is not simply a matter of confronting what is taught. Its also needing to endure the mentality that has an affinity for such false teaching. Its not pleasant for me to endure.

Oh, you poor baby...
Maybe if you tried a more positive attitude, you'd get a better response?
(Just a thought...)

If what you claim about Calvinism were true? You should be correcting and teaching us misinformed believers, if TULIP as we see it is not what Calvinists promote.

I disagree.
But there you go again, waving that big ugly chip on your shoulder around, trying to goad me into arguing with you.

Sorry, not interested.

I'm secure enough in my beliefs that I don't need your opinion to make me feel better.
I'm sorry that you are so insecure in your own beliefs.

Instead? You only can say I am entitled to my opinion. That leaves the other person hanging with nothing to think with, to even repent if need be.

Like I said, if you were sincerely interested (which clearly you are not), there are literally thousands of books you can read.
monergism.com

But you aren't interested in learning, you simply want to argue and insult.
And to that I simply say, "Sorry, not interested".

Now, what part of "no" don't you understand?

And, I thought it would be helpful to know if you are a naturally shy person. Its not an insult.

It's irrelevant red herring and ad hominem.

Would you agree if I changed my tone?

Jesus is fully God and fully man. Two natures in union.

Yes. Fully God, and fully man. If He were only God, He could not at all relate to His creation. If He were only man, HIs death stops at the cross, and He just dies, and someone actually did steal His body away. However He was both, and could both relate to His creation, and fulfill the law man fails to keep, and His death breaks through eternity. That is, the moments on the cross from My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me? through "It is finished", occurred within eternity. If His death were a shockwave, it went out in all directions, into the past, in the present, and all throughout the rest of time, simply because His death had eternal ramifications.

Yes. Fully God, and fully man. If He were only God, He could not at all relate to His creation.

If he were not also fully man? Its we who could not relate to the creation.

All things were created through Him. Through God's Soul = humanity.


All that has been created was created THROUGH him.. Through His humanity. His Soul.

Everything created by means of His soul is now relatable to us who are souls.

Inn that manner we were created in His image! For we are souls.

The Lord is both Deity and Soul. We are in reverse. For when we are Spirit filled?

We are Soul and Deity. He is Deity and Soul.

No we are not God, only Jesus is God. He is the monogenes(unique) one of a kind " Son of God".

And man is not a soul. Man is body, spirit and soul.

hope this helps !!!

When I said? "We are Soul and Deity. He is Deity and Soul."

The Holy Spirit that fills and controls a faithful believer is being transformed into the image of Christ.

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed
into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."
2 Cor 3:18

We are a soul that reveals God by means of the filling of the Holy Spirit to others by means of having a representative reflective image of God. The Holy Spirit is God having and the reflective image of God in a faithful man.

Its reversed for each one. Jesus is God. God revealing man. We are man. Revealing an "image" of Christ (if we be faithful in grace and truth.)
