.@SpeakerJohnson,
Please attach SAVE America Act to the text of the National Defense Authorization Act.
This isn’t coming from just me — I’m speaking for millions of voters.
WOW!
Former Senate staffer with expertise in Senate rules
said to Senator Cornyn, “The talking filibuster will work.”
“Senators who refuse to do this to pass the SAVE America Act are the ones demoralizing their own base.”

@writeontheedg3 Rachel, Exactly. That’s the problem. You just admitted the covenant “must be accepted in order to partake in its riches.” So the riches (forgiveness, freedom from sin and death, new life) are not actually secured by Christ’s death until you accept them.
That proves my original point: the effectiveness of His death depends on the sinner. He didn’t actually save anyone at the cross, He only made salvation available, and now it’s on us to activate it by accepting the covenant.
That’s not complicated, you’re right. It’s also not what the Bible presents. Scripture says Christ’s death actually accomplished redemption for His people (Isaiah 53, John 10, Ephesians 5:25, Romans 5). Not “made it possible if they accept.”If the covenant riches only come to those who accept, then stop talking like He defeated sin and death for all humanity. He didn’t. He defeated it for those who will be in the covenant, the ones the Father gave Him

Rachel,You still haven’t answered the actual question. You called my premise wrong, then gave a long poetic response about walking in humanity’s skin, stealing keys from death, becoming a better Moses, building a nation of loyal people, and putting the Lamb’s blood on the door. That all sounds spiritual, but it doesn’t touch the dilemma.
If Christ died for everyone, then either: Everyone is saved (universalism), or His death didn’t actually save anyone on its own and its effectiveness depends completely on whether the sinner believes and accepts it.
You can’t have it both ways. You can’t say He defeated sin and death for humanity and then turn around and say only the ones who respond in faith actually get freed from them. That means sin and death are still reigning over most of humanity.
Even your Passover example works against you. The blood didn’t make deliverance “available” to every house in Egypt with an open invitation. The destroying angel passed over the specific houses where the blood had been applied. It accomplished deliverance for them, not for everyone else. You keep describing a powerful, victorious cross, but then you make human faith the deciding factor that activates it. That’s not a finished work. That turns the cross into a potential salvation that still relies on us to complete it. So let me ask directly: Did Christ die for all people in the same way? If yes, why aren’t all people saved? If the reason is “because they didn’t believe,” then stop claiming He fully defeated sin and death for all of humanity. He didn’t.
Yeah….they are stupid. Having an ELITE passer and playmaker with high basketball IQ elevates everyone around them. That’s what Lamelo will do. He will get easy shots for every single guy on the floor and put in 20 ppg himself. This is a home run for the timberwolves. Naz gave you 15 points and created 0 points for anyone else.
@JohnCornyn How can we get everyone to unfollow John Cornyn? For some reason he still thinks people are interested in what he has to say after getting plummeted in his own state for re-election.
Well you have to choose. Option A: If he died for everyone, then either the effectiveness of his death depends totally on the sinner or everyone is saved. If the effectiveness is dependent upon Him and He died for all, than all are saved. If He died for everyone and only some are saved then the faith of the sinner is more instrumental in salvation than the death of the Savior, because unless they believe His death is meaningless. Option B: He died for a specific group and it applies perfectly and completely effectually for that specific group and everyone He died for is saved perfectly because His death is sufficient.
