Stan account for Universal Atonement ❤️🌍✝️🩸⬆️👑 Christ's atonement is not limited in scope or nature, but God has conditioned its application on faith.
Why does Pink rule the most likely definition out? Because he came to the text convinced God doesn't love the ungodly, so John 3:16 simply can't mean that. This isn't a "diligent study," it's eisegesis. "Established, unequivocally established [weak point, thump pulpit here]" 🙄

The aroma of death leading to death is not linked to inability, but to warning. Even a perishing fool can smell it.
This is a banger. 🔥
I’ll make some observations about this post (see the picture below): x.com/TurretinFan/st… First, Flowers (@Soteriology101) was not careful to distinguish between the 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 of the word “world” at it’s 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. In the NT, the 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 of “world”…
Thanks for making my point for me @TurretinFan 👍☺️ Rev 12:9 clearly isn’t referring to “a small fraction of all sorts.” It’s referring to the world of unbelievers as in opposition to those believers who are no longer of this world. I’m glad we can agree on this point! 👍 😁
Good list. And here are a couple more quotes that few know about: “And that speaks not only to those who are charged with the responsibility of teaching God's word, but to everyone in general. For on this point the Holy Spirit, who must be our guide, is not disparaging the right…
In honor of John Calvin's Birthday, here's 10 classic Calvin quotes.🧵
Don’t just tell: Persuade and beseech. “I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.” “if by any means I may provoke to jealousy my kinsmen and save some of them.” “For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband?” “We persuade men”
This concept applies equally well to theological camps.
There’s plenty of lunacy on the political right, but an effect of the ideological capture of educational, legacy media, entertainment, and journalistic institutions is that ordinary “reality-based” left-liberal types have a vast array of quite delusional empirical beliefs.
“Whosoever” excludes no one, because God has opened the door to salvation for all because God loves the world. The unbelieving perish not because they were “passed over” or rejected, but because they reject the life God offers them.
Disappointing. If you can read a comprehensive doctoral thesis paper on an NT author’s usage of a particular Greek word and find *nothing* in it that’s useful, that’s an intellect problem. If you can type this without reading it first, that’s a heart problem.
"'O wretched man that I am!' There are many who make this confession a pillow for sin, in which the call to holiness is quietly set aside. Would God that everyone of us could say these words in the very spirit in which they are written here!" -Andrew Murray
Christianity is the only religion where narcissistic ppl can go on all day about how sinful and weak they are and it’s still seen as a virtue. Beware of this kind of false humility.
