    Calvinism is rather an interesting theological perspective.
    I do know that Christ's atoning death was predestined from
    eternity, this we can be sure of (Micah 5:2). I have not yet
    found any reference in the Bible to an individual being
    predetermined to salvation. Only in relation to the
    predetermined event of Christ's death. There is a reference
    in Romans chapter 11 to predestination but in context I think Paul is talking about the Jews. Alas the individual may not in fact be preordained to salvation. But when the passages relating
    to predertimination are read in context, then yes salvation
    is attained through the predetermined death of Christ.
    But you can hold to whatever fine theological lean
    you may have been taught. But even if you were a
    professing Cavinist it may not follow that you
    were predestined to salvation. So again the only
    safety is found in Christ.

    "What will seperate us from the Love of God...", interesting
    that sin is not mentioned. Rightly so. The apostle Paul warns repeatedly that sin is deceptive and therefore the only
    approach that one may take is an obsession with Christ.
    He even goes so far as to say "Pray without ceasing".
    Christ is the subject of this website. Christ is the core
    of the bible. Christology is the theological lean that I
    have, and am proud of that.

    Well, after all the posts on this thread and the previous closed thread, maybe everything has been said. The "did Christ die for everybody" question seems to be a sticking point. I guess I don't see that it needs to be any trouble.

    I read John 6:44 - "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; ..." And, of course, Romans 9:21 - "Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?"

    So, here goes. Christ did die for the sins of the world. His blood was sufficient for every sin to be washed away. However, those who reject Him, without His blood washing them, their sins remain. Their status as God-haters / Truth-haters remains.

    To me, this seems to be the one-and-only "unforgivable sin." That is, denying the Truth that is Christ. Without Christ as Savior, all sins a person has still remain.

    Kindest regards,
    Gary
