Does God love everyone?

TheSire

Introduction:  Most people think that God loves every individual human that has ever existed. For such a universal dogma, you would expect it to be explicitly said all over the bible, but there’s no explicit statement that actually says that. So, they rely on deduction to derive this doctrine. We will see if they are successful in proving such. That isn’t to say that it is invalid to use good and necessary consequence, but I don’t think that they adequately apply such. We should also keep in mind the doctrine of impassibility. I’ve already shared resources on that before and … Continue reading Does God love everyone?

Does God desire the salvation of the reprobate?

TheSire

Does God desire the reprobates to become the elect? Here are resources to help answer that question. Paul Manata made some good points in a comment section : “If God doesn’t desire that any should perish, why doesn’t he save them all? He can’t obtain what he desires? Also, since I believe the Bible does teach that some people will be in hell forever, it is irrational for me to hope that all people will be in heaven forever. it’s like getting a news report from a very trustworthy source that a dirty bomb went off in the middle of … Continue reading Does God desire the salvation of the reprobate?

The Gospel: It’s historical and theological implications

TheSire

What is the gospel? What does it mean for us and why did it occur? All questions that men must ask after the 1st century. As the cross forever will split history. I think in a sense it is the Culmination of all of history and especially redemptive history till the eschaton . From over 300 prophesies throughout the Old Testament fulfilled in Jesus Christ.The improbability of the gospel has caused many to become believers. For example: All of the Bible testifies to Christ . To the Law and the Prophets testifying of him ( John 5:39-46, Luke 24:27 ) … Continue reading The Gospel: It’s historical and theological implications

Romans 2:13-15

TheSire

” ” God of the OT could command things that violate the commands of Christ? “ They wouldn’t “violate” them as they were never under the law of Christ…” So, I got that we have an absolute law or law of conscience. A sort of innate idea of the Absolute law. We have the Law of Moses which is done away with completely. But we have trans covenantal laws that are repeated because they are laws that reflect the nature of God. Yet so does the Absolute law. Which just further expands and much fuller explanation and expansion on the character … Continue reading Romans 2:13-15
