It would make sense if you scrapped where Jesus said you will know the tree by its fruit. If all humanity is saved but just don't know they are saved then they aren't showing the fruit of their salvation. When they Judeans were free to leave Babylon by Cyrus, most didn't leave, while this didn't change them being Judeans it still separated them from what God had for them to return to the promise land.
Acts 2:38 asked the people to repent, Acts 10:48 Peter ordered those who received the Holy Ghost (they didn't have prior to his visit ) commanding them to be baptized in Jesus name. If what you believe is true then Peter, Paul, and the apostles, would of never baptized, laid hands on, or ordered anyone to do anything, they would of just told everyone that they are saved so everyone be happy.
CJ that doesn't even smell right.  |
Was Jesus slain from the foundation of the world?? Yes, God had the cure even before the disease. Before Adam sinned, Jesus was already the Savior of the whole world.
You have no problem with Adam condemning the whole world, you believe that Adam and Eve's act of rebellion condemned every person born thereafter. Even before you or I sinned, ADAM condemned us. ONE man caused ALL to be condemned.
But you reject the truth, that JESUS' selfless ONE act of righteousness has as far reaching power and effect. Well, you are wrong, your repentance, all your righteous acts are filthy rags!! But the finished work of the cross has completely reversed the damage Adam did, whether you believe it or not.
I Cor. 15:21-22
For since death came through A man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through A man. FOR as in Adam ALL die, SO in Christ ALL will be made ALIVE.
I put my faith in Him, instead of all the religious dogmas and doctrines of men that 25,000+ religions can spew out. A weak watered down gospel has led to the cultural failure we see in the world today.
If you cannot acknowledge the inclusive scriptures in the Holy Bible, you are blinded by your beliefs, against the far reaching effects of the gospel. The scriptures that you post may be the appropriate response to the gospel but not the saving part.
