Calvin on unlimited atonement

[brightfame52]

From Albert Barnes, one of your own:

Matt Poole:

Matthew Poole's Commentary
For unto you it is given; he adds a further argument to move them unto that he had exhorted, from God’s freely bestowing, of his mere grace, what he had required of them.

In the behalf of Christ; upon the account of Christ’s merit and mediation; not that they could have either evangelical faith, or patience, by virtue of their own strength, Philippians 4:13.

Not only to believe on him; that they did not only believe Christ, but believe on him, was not from any power of their own, John 6:37,44, but of God’s free gift, Ephesians 2:8, as they had an instance amongst them in Lydia, Acts 16:14; unto her and others was this victorious grace of faith freely given by the hearing of the word, which was not unto many others that heard, Matthew 13:11 2 Thessalonians 3:2 Titus 1:1; and as the grace itself was given, so was the exercise of it.

Matt Poole:

If Matt Poole is appealing to Ephesians 2:8 to support the idea that faith is a gift of God, then that lack of knowledge of Greek tells me all I need to know about him. And none of the other passages he referenced supports the idea that faith is a gift.

Neither you nor Poole seem to even know what it means to believe in something, let alone what it means to believe in God.

I will not be consulting him any time soon. Thanks for the alert.

Like I said, you gave me proof that you dont believe scripture. Don't ever tell me to show you scripture to validate a point, its a farce, pretense.
