If you are not started up or born up, which implies rebirth, but Nicodemus' interpretation was wrong. And that meant seeing the kingdom of God before the afterlife.
Yes it was

Which is why Jesus corrected him

Jesus spoke of spiritual rebirth. Whoever believes will be born again (made spiritually alive, And they will never perish, and live forever.

He paid for the sins of the world. he did not pay for the sin of unbelief

Glad to hear it. What then do you think it means? Was it put there by accident? If not, then what?
That is the condition of a person who has not accepted Christ. It is not a backup verse for TULIP

Don't understand your reply but let's keep this simple - it means they are dead spiritually, does it not? Dead means dead.

I agree, and neither did I. Instead, I wanted only to discuss biblical verses and their meaning.
But now that you mention it, and you have to admit, it is kind of interesting that you, on your own, associate biblical verses to TULIP. Could it be that you've happened to find biblical truth in it without even realizing it? You never know, you just might end-up a spokesperson for Calvinism - so keep up the good work.

I didn't crawl out of cave yesterday. I am well aware of the entire shebang.

Thanks for being polite though. Not enough Calvinists seem to be polite. Kindly consider this my last response to your attempts to convert me. :)

. Its bit difficult for to understand your meaning here.

I see that Adam was spiritualy alive before the fall, and I see people need to be made spiritualy alive again, after fall



So the only difference is that that Jesus prevents you from falling again, but the same spiral life is the same life that God gave which was spiritualy alive before the fall.

They fell not believing God's words when they where spiritualy alive before the fall,

So if unbelief is a sin not forgiven then why bother to save man again.

Makes no sense

I have nothing to say, but thank you for your time and discussion of this topic. I have no doubt that you love Jesus. we see this topic differently, but you never suggested that I was unsaved because we have a difference in understanding unlike some others here.

Thank you! God bless you.

I disagree that Christ died for all, even if all will not be saved. That is the false narrative many try to imply: If Christ died for all, then all must be saved. No. The Bible doesn't Teach that. Those like me must tag people with labels to make their opinions more relevant.

I am not an Arminian or a Calvinist. Although both have Biblical points, they have done more to divide than unite.

Jesus said Go and Preach the Kingdom to all. Those who will be saved or not is up to him. I will let Him be the judge of that. But it is God who has placed the responsibility of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our hands. What are you doing to see people saved?

What is the Gospel of Jesus Christ? That Paul said the power of God for salvation? Do people get saved when the gospel is preached IN YOUR CHURCH? If not, why? The election is the Gospel message.

Your Doctrinal position is not essential for salvation. Christ is,

John Calvin is not authoritative; Jesus is. You want to label people; I want to see people saved.
Jesus did not come into the world to unite people, as you falsely claim. The opposite is true, He came to divide the world into two groups. He came to receive His Bride, the Elect Saints of God and to condemn the Devils children. Nobody is neutral in this, you can only be on one side.

Also you can't be neutral regarding the gospel interpretation, you can only embrace Calvinism or Arminianism. I have been begging for someone to offer a third option so I can escape these "cults" but so far nobody has found an escape, they just give me lies and false hope.

No, the truth is you are not correct, and your false narrative does not have to be accepted. Name-call all you want to say were devils to try and elevate your position. I am glad you see yourself as an "Elect saint." Remember, countless conflicting interpretations of the gospel you present show you are not capable or called to teach His word.
You approach people from your " Elect mindset," and judge them as you say: " this is why the non elect hate the God the Elect believe in. They hate Him because they love their sin and they know that He didn't save them. "


What a self-righteous statement. To speak as if you know who God can save and will not save. You don't know who is elect or non-elect.

You say you don't know what I believe because I don't identify as a Calvinist or Armenian? You refuse to read what I SAID IS the gospel
of our Lord Jesus Christ, which you say is fake. " Again, you are no authority, and you will not suggest the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ that I hold to is a fake Gospel. You are just a hateful person. That is all you have done for the Calvinism. Displayed hate and judgment. Talk about fake Gospels, LOL. You are at the top of the list.
I have stated that I only believe what God said, and I reject private interpretations as they are an abomination in Gods sight. God actually promised to cast all those who add or takes away from His Word, into the lake of fire.

i really can't fathom why so many think God was joking when He gave that warning. It's actually blasphemy, as it accuses God of being a liar.
We are all born enemies of God and we sink deeper and deeper into depravity as we age, and if God doesn't intervene and do the work of salvation in our lives, then we remain under His wrath and condemnation until we are cast into hell.

Your Arminian gospel, removes God from His throne and you set yourself in His place and claim to be the master of your destiny. That's simply not what my Bible teaches, it teaches the exact opposite where God is sovereign over the whole of His creation and every aspect of their lives.
This includes salvation, as a totally depraved sinner cannot turn from his sin, repent and obey the gospel.

No, God never leaves anyone in sin. It's their choice. The Bible doesn't teach what you are saying.

The rich young ruler was given a choice, the prodigal son, a parable of a sinner coming home. God never left anyone in sin.
None of that is in my Bible, you invented it because you don't like what the bible actually teaches about those things.

God leaves the vast majority in their condemned sate, He said "very few as are saved"

The rich young ruler was not an Elect Saint of God, that's why he rejected God and chose to serve Satan. God said, you are the children of the Devi and you do His works"

The prodigal son was an Elect Saint of God that's why he repented, but the lesson there was about his brother who was not an Elect Saint, so he was cast into hell because he exposed his Arminian theology by relying on Arminius's works based salvation which leads every single believer of that false gospel to hell.

This statement kinda refutes Calvinism doesn't it? :unsure:
And what are your qualifications for making such a false statement. I'm afraid private feelings don't count for anything, they may help you cope with the awful truth for now but you will have to deal with it when you stand accused before God.

The BIBLE says Christ died for all, whosoever will. You are not special. God didn't pick you out of the pool to be saved and everyone else is going to hell. Didn't happen. You are defaming the very heart and character of God, this belief is insidious and from the pit of hell itself. The Holy Spirit draws people to Christ, people hear the Word, the seed is planted. They may come to Christ that very moment, or 20 yrs later, only God knows. But some will never come. No, man doesn't save himself, but he's not saved against his will either. Where people come up with these hellish beliefs that God would pick people for salvation and others for hell is sickening. And if he already picked the elect, why create people to destroy?? That's like a toy factory making broken toys on purpose, just to throw them away. That's stupidity!! God takes the broken and makes them a new creature in Christ!! He doesn't create broken. Honestly I wonder what "Bible" y'all are readin' from to come away with such a messed up doctrine. Talk about the Jews being blind. My Lord!!
Your private interpretation of the gospel is an abomination, you're accusing my God of being evil and that is pure blasphemy. I would urge you to repent and ask the Lord to open your spiritual eyes so you can receive the true gospel.

There's no place for the lost in your church. I hope the Lord puts a lock on your doors. You have no understanding whatsoever of the Gospel you think you're preaching.
There's no place for the reprobate in our Church, we only accept genuine Elect Saints of God. You're welcome to take the reprobate into your Church, but don't expect my Church to accept them.

Your gospel view is an abomination to me, it's contrary to what my bible teaches. So I can't have any fellowship with people like you

God doesn't need Calvinism or any other ism. You have two eyes, it's in the Word plain as day.
Now your showing your ignorance as plain as day. The Word was given in a way that only the Elect understand, it's foolishness to the non elect. The non elect think they understand it, but God said "there is a way that seems right to men, but the end there of is death".

The true gospel is the stench of death to the un elect, they hate it with every fiber in their body. So I'm not surprised to find so many expressing hatred towards the true gospel.

one of the punishments of God is to send a person into exile.

Would you agree thats not death.

There's also another sin where the lord says if a brother bears false witness against a brother or a sister you are to purge the evils from them.

Tell me have you been worthy of any of these punishments since you've been here

Well, pardon us all to pieces! No spiritual pride there at all. :rolleyes:




Judge not, lest you be judged. No one died and made you God.
I'm proud of my Lord, He is the only One who deserves all the praise and glory. I'm just a thankful and undeserving Elect Saint of God, I have nothing to be proud of, I just received eternal life in paradise and all the treasure of the universe is mine so why wouldn't I be full of joy and praise for the Lord.

it a shame you don't see your lord being deserving to many other people here.

One thing I will say is calvinism states unconditional election is also for the unbeliever to be unconditional when surrendering to God's will.

How come you don't mention that.

But you know what Charlie.

I can't see you being here much longer.
