@MiddleearthMixr An incredibly cinematic and beautifully shot scene that is probably the most horrible change in plot from either the LOTR or Hobbit Trilogy.

@x9ishere @MrTimothyRenfro The second is not from the Westminster Catechism, either Longer or Shorter.

@DineshDSouza "Can you imagine a potter..."

No I cannot imagine. I did not exist before time and space were created and have all power, knowledge, and presence in absolute holiness of being.

So, no, I cannot imagine the mind or depths of God in His bringing about all that comes to pass.

@parsnips451 @ekkiet Just to clarify, your argument is that when two words are put together in a phrase, then that phrase must mean the definition of those two words, and cannot possibly have any other definition or concept?

[ʀᴏʙᴇʀᴛ ᴠᴏʟᴋ @robertfvolk]

@rootcausesleuth @EpikCarp No I do not claim to know what His hidden, or unrevealed, will is, or claim to have secret knowledge of such a will.

I do claim that the totality of human existence is occurring as intended.

@rootcausesleuth @EpikCarp I do not claim to know his hidden will.

I claim that He has all power, knowledge, and presence necceasry to enact His will.

The arugment infecting my timeline:

If 'A' is true, then why does God do 'B'?

And I continually have to pray Lord give me patience because it is an utterly poor argument.

[ʀᴏʙᴇʀᴛ ᴠᴏʟᴋ @robertfvolk]

@beready4rapture You would have to provide a definition of the word 'atonement' that fits specifically into your context.

[ʀᴏʙᴇʀᴛ ᴠᴏʟᴋ @robertfvolk]

@Biblesscholars @rootcausesleuth Just to clarify, you have the ability to choose to live without violating a single moral law every day of your life?

[ʀᴏʙᴇʀᴛ ᴠᴏʟᴋ @robertfvolk]

@EthanDelaney95 @1984_nate Yes, salvation stems from the totality of Jesus' life, from His incarnation by the HS, to the perfect obedient life that is mandated to be lived, to his atoning sacrifice that the Triune God mandated for reconciliation, to His resurrection and ascension so we may have new life.

@rogerecoff To clarify, the sins of the world have been taken away, in that they no longer exist and will not be held against the individual on the day of judgement?

[ʀᴏʙᴇʀᴛ ᴠᴏʟᴋ @robertfvolk]

@CherylSchatz Again, two things are true.

Paul freely chose to give his life to Jesus as Savior and Lord.

Paul was always going to chose that, and there is no possibility he was going to choose to do otherwise.

@faitharchitect Lol wut?

It would take less effort on God's part to determine the totality of human existence than it would for you to draw a single breath.

[ʀᴏʙᴇʀᴛ ᴠᴏʟᴋ @robertfvolk]

@jwsherrod Likewise, I often see people use the word 'atonement' as synonymous with the phrase 'Christ died for', again without defining what is actually meant by interchanging the concepts.

[ʀᴏʙᴇʀᴛ ᴠᴏʟᴋ @robertfvolk]

@jwsherrod I understand the post you made and I do not want to debate.

What I want, and I have commented on multiple posts in this regard, is to point out and emphasize that people are defining and using the word 'atonement' in different ways and from different perspective.

@contra__culture @Rural_KS_Pastor The moral/ legal debt still mandated an atoning, substitutionary sacrifice in order to have satisfaction of the debt and be able to approach the throne of God.

[ʀᴏʙᴇʀᴛ ᴠᴏʟᴋ @robertfvolk]

@TheMuppetPastor @DineshDSouza Does logic begin with the idea of an omniscient God, whereby God possess the totality of all knowledge concerning human existence?

[ʀᴏʙᴇʀᴛ ᴠᴏʟᴋ @robertfvolk]

@TheMuppetPastor @autocorrect2_0 Which is why OSAS isn't true.

There is only Saved and Unsaved, and those conditions never change.
