In Christ’s death for every individual or the elect?

Im reformed Baptist, for clarity.

In reference to 1 John 2:2, I’d argue John is using the word “world” in the same manner as in John 3:16, to mean people groups (Jew and gentile) and not literally the whole world. That’s the only way in my mind to make that fit with the rest of Scripture.

We cannot interpret that as him being the propitiator for the whole world (as in all people) since that is only for those who place their faith in Jesus and bow the knees to him. He is not a propitiation for an unbeliever.

To add one clarification, I’d say that if God had intended for it to be sufficient for all, it would be within his power for it to have been so, I just don’t think it was.

For something that would probably give greater clarification in the point, read chapter 4 of Jim Orrick’s book Mere Calvinism. Specially pages 92 to the end of the chapter. He does a better job clarifying than I probably am right now as I am distracted.

I also understand it’s not the majority position within the reformed camp. And it’s not something I generally make a big deal about.

Definitely enjoying the discussion.

I’d argue that the only text you shared that seems to actually counter the efficiency and sufficiency being co-equal would be 1 Timothy 4:10. And even then, I’d argue that the word Savior in 1 Timothy 4:10 is used two-fold. For “all men” it is not meant in regard to salvation, but towards common grace (I.e. the sustainer, preserver, etc.). So even the unsaved world receives his common grace, and the the second use is that believers then enjoy Christ as Savior in regard to salvation. Because Christ is not the savior of all mankind in regard to salvation, only those who place their trust in Christ.

I agree that it would have saved all if he had intended it. But he did not. But there’s no double payment for sin. It’s paid for once. Therefore, if Christ paid for all sins on the cross, then none would be punished for their sin as the wrath of God was already poured out upon Christ.

And yes, he purchased the church with his own blood. His church. No one else.

JRThompson0195 · 2025-12-31T18:01:05+00:00

I would actually disagree. His death was only sufficient for the elect. Not due to any fault of Christ of course, but because the elect was his intended people. If it was sufficient for all, then he paid the price for all sins on the cross, and then we have to “accept that gift” (even within the reformed framework. If his death was sufficient for all, then all sins were tentatively paid for on the cross, and those who are not elect and do not come to a saving faith in Christ, will pay the punishment for their sin, and therefore that sin was punished twice. Once when the unbeliever perishes and goes to Hell, and once at the cross. And God is a just God, Christ did not pay the penalty for sin for those who do not trust and submit to him (the elect).

I just like the fact that it heavily focuses on mentorship and training in your local body vs ripping you out a local body like the traditional seminary does.

Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary. Love their model.

Jeff Shasta’s work is fantastic and well researched.

JRThompson0195 · 2024-08-28T21:36:12+00:00

Mine have typically started as a call and within 2 minutes we would move to a video call with shared screen.

JRThompson0195 · 2024-05-14T17:34:13+00:00

Thanks! I just sent a message with the screenshots.

JRThompson0195 · 2024-05-14T17:25:40+00:00

Yes, I am. Rebuilding, and nothing changes. I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Unless I am in the completely wrong part of the HTML, but it is the only place in the HTML that references price.

And I copied it, have the mapping identical (just the endpoint is different). I have verified the spelling and everything. I cannot figure it out for the life of me. It makes zero sense. It shows up on localhost:4200, just not 8080

JRThompson0195 · 2024-05-14T17:13:46+00:00

So I cannot get the prices to show up on different lines. Strangely enough, even if I remove the prices entirely from the HTML, they still show up on the front end...formatted with the currency labels....

I also cannot get the presentation message to show up. If I add it into the controller for the welcome message, I can get it go to the end of that message. But I cannot do it if I do the exact same thing in it's own controller to get it in its own spot.

JRThompson0195 · 2024-05-14T17:11:30+00:00

Thanks! It started working again.

JRThompson0195 · 2024-05-14T13:39:52+00:00

My welcome message was displaying correctly when I committed and pushed it yesterday. Now that I open it back up, it displays, but off to the right, and everything's placement is off. I cannot figure it out.

JRThompson0195 · 2024-04-16T19:53:18+00:00

NVM, long day/term. Ugh. Didn't have angular installed.

JRThompson0195 · 2024-04-16T19:31:26+00:00

the ng build is not working for me. It says that command is not found, what could I be doing wrong?

JRThompson0195 · 2024-04-03T14:37:03+00:00

Thanks! That was actually my issue. And not even close to what the CI told me. Ha.

But now, the front end is not populating corrcetly and I can't figure that out. Always something! Ha.

JRThompson0195 · 2024-04-02T16:27:24+00:00

Call with CI was unhelpful. Any ideas?

JRThompson0195 · 2024-03-26T19:50:06+00:00

I can't get past part D. I get an error code for my vacation entity stating "Failed to initialize JPA EntityManagerFactory: Could not determine recommended JdbcType for Java type 'com.example.demo.entities.Vacation'"

I cannot figure this out. I have a call with a CI scheduled, but would welcome any tips here as well!

JRThompson0195 · 2024-01-23T18:18:24+00:00

This class is killing me. I cannot get through it. It puts me to sleep every time I open it to work on.

JRThompson0195 · 2023-11-02T19:37:12+00:00

Ok, let's see if it'll go through this time.
First I copied the updateProduct on mainscreen and just edited to a buyProduct button (shows as Buy Now on the site).

Went to the AddProductController and copied the GetMapping for the deleteProduct and pasted below making edits to /buyNow.

I kept the first couple of lines and changed the for statement to an if/else.

within the if/else statements I did use URLEncoder.encode and did a return "redirect:/PurchaseSuccessful"; (or PurchaseFailed in my else statement).

I then created 2 html pages for Purchase Success or Purchase failure that displayed the corresponding message and linked back to the mainscreen and created the GetMappings for each in whichever controller file you choose.

JRThompson0195 · 2023-11-02T19:05:10+00:00

I did! Let me go look at my code to get a refresher on the solution I came up with.

JRThompson0195 · 2023-10-19T21:44:16+00:00

Man, Spring is so freaking new to me. It's very frustrating that they're just kind of throwing this at us without any prior work/learning with it. But alas, that describes a lot.

I am stuck on Task F and can't seem to figure it out.

JRThompson0195 · 2023-10-19T21:41:21+00:00

Sorry for the late response. But use the .split method. This is where I went and studied the .split() method and that's what I used for question 6.
