The word forgivable does not occur in Matt.12:24-32. The word unforgivable does not appear in Heb. 6:4-6. The Bible does not say fully demonised people are unforgivable. Poor "Legion" was not forgivable? Quoting scriptures which do not say what you are asserting, but pretending they do...

I read Theime's Bible Doctrine Dictionary as far as "adoption". He gets that wrong. Adoption as sons happens at the resurrection. I don't think he is going to be helpful.

Can you give an example of me being "a bit presumptuous with interpretation". Please give an example and then explain what the presumption I am allegedly making is?

טֶרֶם ṭerem, teh'-rem; from an unused root apparently meaning to interrupt or suspend; properly, non-occurrence; used adverbially, not yet or before:—before, ere, not yet. (Strong’s Concordance) Other places where TeReM is used that I did not list above can be found on this page -...

What is your definition of infinite?

Where is the word "unforgivable" in Matt.12:31-32 31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 And whoever is speaking a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever is speaking against the...

Mark 4:10 And when he was alone, those who were about him with the twelve asked him concerning the parables. 11 And he said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables, 12 so that they may indeed see but not perceive, and may...

That is not what you said in your post. You said, rogerg said: So, it seems you misunderstand salvation. Now there is only the Israel of God, and no longer a distinction between earthly Jew and Gentile - all are subject to the same gospel and salvation -all are spiritual Jews - true Jews.

Sorry, but if you cannot even follow your own arguments, I have little hope that you would understand mine or anyone else's.

Why does every Jew and Gentile in Christ being Israel and under one law, the Law of Christ, imply that all Jews and Gentiles who are outside of Christ must also be under one gospel law, even those who are impaired in some way so as not to be able to understand the gospel? Which scripture says...

Using only scripture, which law are people in the category under discussion under: those who "through no fault of their own, either were never in a position to hear the gospel or too infirm to comprehend/respond to it, to produce faith and repent" ? The question you asked was - rogerg said: Out...

The word used for sin in verse 9 is hamartia (which means a falling short of a set goal), not paraptOma (which means a walking to the side of rather than on a path). We are told in Rom. 5 that hamartia is not imputed to those who do not have laws. So, even though all, both Jews and Gentiles...

Simple. Tom,5:13 (For until the law sin (hamartia) was in the world: but sin (hamartia) is not imputed, i.e. reckoned to one, when there is no law. Hamartia is the word for a falling short, not the word for a transgression. Before the Mosaic Law came, men were falling short of God’s glory. But...

There is a time for complexity and a time for simplicity. There is a time for every purpose under heaven. I use both. There are also simple persons for whom complexity is a burden and ineffective. Not all who post here are the simple posting their simple ideas for other simple readers. If you...

Are you saying that because Christ died for everyone, the results for everyone are the same and there are no conditions that determine the results?

I won't have any problem if we discover at some time in the future that God's love happens to be unconditional. I am simply saying that the claim is not evidenced in scripture, so I don't have any reason to affirm it. Why is it so important to you that I bow to your opinion on the matter? And...

I have looked at the word translated as "before" in that text (בְּטֶרֶם B-TeReM ) and at the other places it is used in the old testament. It does not appear to mean "before" but rather " while yet" when used with an imperfect Hebrew verb form and "just as" when used with a perfect Hebrew verb...

How many meanings can be inferred from that arrangement of words? More than one, depending on the meanings one puts into the words "sinned" and "death", and "into" and "all men".

Good. so, we can see that among the posters here there is a wide range of beliefs about whether God's love is unconditional or not. So how does one arrive at a Biblical perspective on which i correct. I would suggest that considering what scripture actually says about what of God's love does is...
