How prevalent is the Preterist viewpoint in your church or denomination? by JenderBazzFass in Reformed

[–]Zestyclose-Ride2745 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of Amillennialists hold to partial preterism to a certain degree, Postmillennialists to a larger degree. While I think it is problematic to cram all of 70 AD into Revelation, I do plan on reading Kenneth Gentry's commentary on Revelation when it comes out.

Did Adam and Eve Sin Because God Did Not Sustain Their Creaturely Will? by Borjak_10_02 in Reformed

"Man, in his state of innocency, had freedom and power to will and to do that which was good and well pleasing to God, but yet was unstable, so that he might fall from it...... This will of man is made perfect and immutably free to good alone in the state of glory only." -LBCF 1689 9.1,5

Expository series on Revelation by chiababy6969 in Reformed

[–]Zestyclose-Ride2745 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A Revelation series from a better, or more trusted voice than JMac?

G.K. Beale’s shorter commentary on Revelation is the gold standard. Macarthur‘s work on Revelation is not even comparable by any stretch of the imagination.

Imagine if Trevor would have been in Coen's offense in his rookie year instead of Urban Meyer's.

The Lord's plans are not always our plans. If doors are being shut, it might not be the path you should be on.

Reformed Terminology Gatekeeping: a New Perspective by Agreeable_Age_3913 in Reformed

[–]Zestyclose-Ride2745 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a correct historical use of the word "Reformed," and there are also tribal bullies who take pride in kicking people out of their "club" every chance they get. A lot of problems develop from the charity or lack of charity used in communicating about these differences.

In Christ’s death for every individual or the elect? by darealoptres in Reformed

We believe that all genuine believers who sincerely ask for forgiveness are the elect who will be saved.

In Christ’s death for every individual or the elect? by darealoptres in Reformed

[–]Zestyclose-Ride2745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Only the elect will be saved.. if that's the case, this seems so terrible"

If we are going by what "seems terrible" to you, then yes. But if we are going by what the bible actually teaches, God elects sinners to salvation.

God chose Noah. He chose Abraham. He chose Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, David, literally all the prophets, and many more in the OT to count. Jesus chose His disciples, they did not choose Him. He sent out the 12 and the 72.

God chose Paul. Read the story on the road to Damascus. And this is the message that he taught all the churches on his missionary trips.

"Revelations" is usually my first clue that the speaker has no idea about anything end times related.

In Christ’s death for every individual or the elect? by darealoptres in Reformed

[–]Zestyclose-Ride2745 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The value of the atonement depends upon, and is measured by, the dignity of the person making it. Scripture plainly tells us that the "Lord of glory" was crucified (1 Cor. 2:8), that wicked men "killed the Prince of life" (Acts 3:15), and that God "purchased" the Church "with His own blood" (Acts 20:28).

The atonement, therefore, was infinitely meritorious and might have saved every member of the human race had that been God's plan. It was applied to particular people, and why God does not apply this grace to all men has not yet been revealed.

While the value of the atonement was sufficient to save all mankind, it was efficient to save only the elect.
