"The testimony of the Scripture is overwhelmingly clear that Jesus died for the sins of the entire world, so as to pay for the sins of every human being who's ever lived, demonstrating the grace and love of God to the entire human race…Brown argued that the New Testament repeatedly says we are justified by faith, and not by Christ's death only. "So there is human participation."

And there you have it....right at the end. This is what this whole argument is about. We need to save ourselves. That is why God died for the entire race. To show us the way.

Sorry, this is heretical teaching. I would even call it blasphemous. But then some say I'm a bit over the top.

The scriptures are clear:

Joh_8:24 I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins."

I don't know how much clearer our Lord can be. We will die in our sins unless we believe that Christ is the Lamb of God who dies for His elect. His blood covers ONLY those who believe in Him. Everyone else will die in their sins. He states it twice in this tiny verse.

Christ did not die for the entire world.

This is what this whole argument is about. We need to save ourselves.

So, you start off by complaining that the other poster says we need to save ourselves, when the actual statement was that we are saved through faith. That is our part in the salvation process. You call it heresy, and blasphemous.

Then you say this:
We will die in our sins unless we believe that Christ is the Lamb of God

<sigh>

This is why people can't talk to you. You rail and scream, and call others blaspheming sinners, then turn around and agree with them.
