God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. Were any sinners not to be considered among those God was reconciling to Himself at the time?

If God was satisfied communing with Himself for trillions of trillions of years before He created the heaven and the earth, then what caused Him to finally take an interest in fellowshipping with humans?

I suppose it is debatable when exactly Peter got saved. Nevertheless, Calvinists are forced to believe Peter was saved long before he denied the Lord in the courtyard, because earlier in the ministry Peter saw things that only believers could have seen (Matthew 16:17), according to 5 pointers...

Of course. Jesus is the Light which enlightens every man born into the world (John 1:9). At such a time as God determines He turns the light on for sinners darkened by sin and promises that those who favorably respond to the Light will be given the "power to become the sons of God, even to...

James 4:11. "Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge." Who is the Book of James written to, and why? I assume...

Sinners are not sealed by the Holy Ghost until after they trust and believe Jesus, according to Ephesians 1:13.

So, God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself.

The Bible tells us that those who are born of woman are born of the seed passed down from their fathers (as in Hebrews 7:9-10.) But Jesus was not born of the seed of man. He was born of the seed of the woman, a virgin, something not possible in humans. (Genesis 3:15.) I believe Jesus referred...

Were those whose names are blotted out of the Book of Life once saved? (Revelation 22.)

Your theology fails to comprehend or explain how those who fell from grace in Romans 1 after having been clearly shown and made to understand God's Word could have been condemned for turning away from what they knew to be the truth.

I added nothing because I quoted nothing. I summarized my interpretation of the text. I did not pretend to quote the text. Nevertheless, I find it hard to believe the "their" and "them" referred to in that verse can only apply to the "us" in the same verse.

I commend you for quoting Oswald Chambers, a truly inspiring and greatly helpful Christian commentator.

I find in this account a very heart-warming detail of God's character. Jesus told Peter he would never deny Him even though the Lord told him 3 separate times that he would. But Peter's sin did not diminish God's love for Peter, which is clearly demonstrated in the way Jesus unraveled the...

Biological facts determine gender. Morons think rebels against God do.

Interestingly, Peter had told the Lord 3 times that he would never deny Him, even if everyone else in the world did. But Peter did deny the Lord and now the Lord restores Peter by asking him 3 times if he really did love the Lord even if nobody else in the world did. The lesson Peter likely...

No, the verse does not say God was reconciling the whole world unto Himself, but surely you must believe that is what the verse is saying?

All Scripture is written and inspired of God to be used for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction, that believers may be made perfect in the knowledge of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

According to 2 Corinthians 5, God was in Christ reconciling the lost world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them. How do we know that verse includes the lost? Because God instructs us to go into the world, preaching the Gospel to every creature, commanding them in God's stead...

God likely had many reasons for delivering the Jews from the Egyptians, none of which were wrong.

James 1 clarifies some distinctions between the true religion of Bible-believing Christians and the false religion of unsaved pretenders.
