Biblical Predestination Part 3 - Did Christ Die Only for the Elect

Calvinist say that Christ only died for the Elect. Some people say Christ only Died for Jews.


Complete foolishness with a chaser of hogwash.

"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all".... 2 Cor 5:14-15

"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone" [Heb 2:9]

Hebrews proved that He was the kinsman redeemer on two levels, that is He is the near kinsman to all Jews and all of Mankind.:

  1. All Jews: - "For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren," [Heb 2:11]

  2. All flesh and Blood, and the children given to Him
    "Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil" [Heb 2:13b, 14]

If people really understood the Laws of Redemption in Lev. 25 (with strangers included) and the argument that Heb 2 was making that He was the kinsman on BOTH LEVELS - Jews and all flesh and blood, they would have never made such a foolish statement.

Christ died for all, and all men died in Him, not just an elect. 2 Cor 5:14

There is no single elect whom God is only wooing.

Israel was the first one elected to be the agency by which salvation was to come to the entire world.

Christ as the Branch became the elected one out of Israel.

This was the predestined way for salvation to come to the earth as God chose before the foundation of the earth that it had to be chosen in Christ as Ephesians said. This is the true predestination - in Christ.

Christ responded by saying yes, He would do His will and prepared for Himself a body.

All men died in Him but all men do not yet live in Him.

But time is being managed so that at the fullness of the dispensation of time, all things in heaven and earth are being gathered in Him, so that Christ becomes the sum of everything in earth and in heaven.

Man can resist for a time, but Christ who was all in the beginning, will be all in the End.

For out of Him, through Him and back to Him are all things. Rom 11:34

God wins. And on earth, peace goodwill to all men.

Harpazo vs Rapture - Part 1

Image
Harpazo is different from rapture. Rapture is based on the notion that Christ comes with dead ones, picks up believers and makes a u turn and flies back up to heaven with unbelievers left behind.  It's helpful to consider Paul's word for "meeting" in this passage. It is the Greek word apantesis, which typically described the formal welcoming of a dignitary into a city. In other Greek literature, it was a term that described a great delegation that would travel to the outskirts of the city gates and beyond to receive the conquering king as he returned to the land." The Rapture counts for absurd eschatology.... And if you believe in the rapture guess who is taken? Not the righteous as you were taught but the wicked. Notice the disciples are asking "Where they were taken"... notice Christ's answer "wherever the dead bodies are for the vultures to consume" Luk 17:34 — Luk 17:37 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the o

Is Everything According to Gods Plan? Sovereign Will Part 1

Image
Questions: Why do we pray for God's will to be done if it is always done? What am I missing? Did he not know about it after all since the beginning? So if we deliberately don't do God's will, do we say, well he knew from the beginning that this will happen anyway? Why not? It's part of His Plan! There are many times God's will is not done. God's will, is and will always be done. Both statements are true? Do you agree or not? Answers: "Sovereign Will vs Permissive Will. God will permit us to do whatever we like, but eventually His Sovereign Will will be completed. Perfectly. No matter how well we play the game of Cosmic Chess against the Master of the Universe, He will win." - Andre van der Sandt "God's will is not done because man is flawed. Man makes wrong decisions sometimes when he uses his gift of free will. In which there is a lesson he will learn that will ultimately become God's will." - Ricky Diggs "His sovereign

Narrow Gate vs Broad Way

That quote also comes from Luke 13... the ENTIRE Chapter is the context.. We can't just pull one verse to form a doctrine. This is the quote.. "Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?” And He said to them, 24 “ Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able" The question is saved from what?  is this talking about "eternal salvation"? NO.   Again context. Please make note of the following in Luke 13 The people who asked Christ this had little or no knowledge of the issues and particulars of salvation as we know it today. They were immediately reacting to Christ spreading an interesting message as he was heading towards Jerusalem. What was Christ's message? Well it started with folks pointing out that the Galileans were the most unfortunate because they had Pilate mix their blood with their sacrifices. They concluded that God judged them.  Doesn't that sound familiar with all the
