I can say much more-for I feel that my position will be vindicated in the end- but I’ll use discretion, unless someone places a quarter in the jukebox…

My problem with you is that you interject your “hobby horse” into 99% (as I’m sure there’s at least one or two posts that you haven’t) of all posts that Lionel makes (here and on his other blogs). Others and I have asked you not to do it because it distracts from the subject matter. You refuse to do it. That immaturity is irritating and nauseating. So no, I don’t have any respect for a person that would continually do that after being asked repeatedly to stop. So, if as you say, I have treated you with disrepect on several occasions, it is because I don’t respect you. Thanks.

My response:
Have you been reading the last 15 or so comments between Lionel and Seekerman and your added input?

So how am I off what is currently being discussed?

And just because you were speaking to Lionel, doesn’t mean that someone can’t address you. Afterall, you don’t have to respond. You seem to have a serious problem with me. I have no ought against you even though you have treated me with disrespect on several occassions. But since you have requested that I not speak to you I will no longer address you.

As always, I wish for once you could stick to the discussion. I also wish that you could read. Why? Because I clearly stated that I was speaking only to Lionel. Thank you for keeping your comments directed to those addressing you, namely, NOT ME!

Is it God’s wil/desire for all of humanity to be saved?

If yes, then how can God fail to have His will on His clay?

If no, then it would seem that God is a respector of persons and the bible would appear to contradict itself.

I think you should also include a restudy of the words aion/aionios.

As you know, I don’t believe that the Gospel is an offer of any kind. I believe it is a command with a promise. An announcement versus an invitation. The Gospel is described as “the power of God unto salvation” not “the offer of God for anyone desiring to be saved and willing to repent and turn to Christ”. In this debate/discussion, you are correct to point out the need to define terms and their contextual usage. It is there that the “blinders of tradition” are revealed in any of us. Words like “world”, “atonement”, “propitiation”, “intercession/intercede”, etc. all must be fleshed out.

Why do you keep saying “there-I said it”?
