The death of Jesus was a sacrifice

[Joy]

Jesus Is the Perfect Passover Lamb

Another parallel between the sacrifice of the Passover lamb and the sacrifice which Jesus made is the sufficiency of the act. The Passover event was a unique, one-time, redemptive-historical event. While the Passover event was to be remembered and celebrated annually, the actual historical event and the redemption it secured were unique.

The sacrifice which Jesus made is a similar one-time event. While we remember the death and sacrifice of Jesus every time we celebrate the Lord’s Supper, his actual death and sacrifice, and the redemption they secured, were unique, one-time events. The writer to the Hebrews reminds us of the unique, once-for-all sufficiency of the work of Jesus our Great High Priest: “But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God” (Heb. 10:12).

And that sacrifice was only for a specific chosen people !

Nothing there changes the fact,

A person who fears God is saved, regenerated already. If the word of God is spoken to someone who is regenerated, they will be saved. God sends the Gospel to them that fear Him so they can hear, believe and be saved

Acts 15 7

And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

These Gentiles Peter was sent to were regenerated and feared God, he was speaking specifically about Cornelius and others with him who feared God Acts 10:1-2

There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,

2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alwa

Sorry once again were they regenerate they would have already been saved

Titus 3:5 (KJV 1900) — 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

but they were not

Acts 11:14 (LEB) — 14 who will speak words to you by which you will be saved, you and all your household.’


Instead of ignoring scripture, deal with it

Correct, Cornelius and the rest with him who feared God were already saved, regenerate,because they feared God,no fears God by nature Rom 3:18

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Gill writes and I agree on Rom 3:18

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
There is no fear of God before their eyes. The place referred to is Psalm 36:1, by the "fear of God", is not meant a fear of God's wrath, of hell and damnation; nor a fearful distrust of his presence, power, providence, and grace; much less an hypocritical fear; but a reverential affection for God, and which is peculiar to the children of God, which springs from a sense of divine goodness, is attended with holiness of heart and life, is consistent with faith, even full assurance of it, and with spiritual joy in its highest degree; it stands opposed to pride and haughtiness, and is a blessing of the covenant of grace: now this is not to be found in unregenerate men, for this springs from grace, and not nature, and is only implanted in the heart in conversion; it appears from the whole life and conversation of unconverted men, that the fear of God is not in their hearts, nor before their eyes.

Also Peter indicated that Cornelius was a saved righteous man here Acts 10:34-35

34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

To be accepted of God and worketh righteousness is to be regenerated/saved.

How can a unsaved person fear God,work righteousness ?

Sorry no

Acts 11:14 (LEB) — 14 who will speak words to you by which you will be saved, you and all your household.’

Their salvation was a future reality which would transpire when they believed

Nope for all the world as Jesus taught in he gospels

Another theory, one that was predominant for many centuries in the early church, is the ransom theory. Under this view, Adam and Eve became the property of Satan when they fell under the bondage of sin. Christ’s blood was thus offered to Satan in order to ransom sinners from his dominion.

This was the interpretation given to Jesus’ statement in Matthew 20:28, “The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” The ransom theory was advocated by such ancient stalwarts as Irenaeus, Origen, Gregory of Nyssa, and Gregory the Great.

Augustine emphasized as well that Satan was induced to accept this ransom, which overthrew his dominion over fallen mankind, in the same way that a mouse is led into a mousetrap: the “bait” of inflicting God’s Son with death was simply too enticing for Satan to resist, so in his most wicked achievement the Devil brought forth his own utter defeat, as death, sin, and God’s curse were put away on the cross.

18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Because Cornelius feared God, he had been accepted by God, thats being saved Acts 10:35

35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Gill writes:

But in every nation,.... In any Gentile nation in the Roman empire, and in any part, even in Scythia, or in the most uncultivated parts of the universe, as well as in Judea:
he that feareth him; God, not with a slavish fear, or with the fear of punishment to be inflicted by him, with a fear of hell and damnation, with which Cain, Pharaoh, Judas, and even the devils themselves have feared him; nor with an hypocritical fear; but with a godly filial fear; which is a new covenant blessing, springs from the love of God, is a grace implanted in the soul and regeneration, and includes all true religion, both external and internal; and faith among the rest, without which it is impossible to please God, or do works of righteousness acceptable in his sight, as it follows:

Limited atonement is man made. Don't drink the Kool-Aid.

The truth will set you free:

For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
John 3:16.

In this verse, the point of contention is not as much on the “whoever” (because proponents of Limited Atonement would argue that only the elect believe) but the term, “the world.” Did God love and send His son for “the world” or only for the elect?

The plain sense of the text is that God loved all of humanity and gave his Son to make salvation available to all. Those enabled by His grace to believe and receive it will be saved. Those who reject His mercy will be condemned.

Jesus is the Gospel; Calvinism is not.

I deny Calvinism but I uphold the gospel because Calvinism is not the gospel.
