Hi there Jimmy,
I have visited the site that you mentioned, and looked at the links you gave, and considered what Mr Feldick says on this subject and I must say that I agree with Him.
I thank you for introducing this because it is good to have to evaluate what one really understands about a subject.
Though I did step back a little at the your opening words,
(Quote) 'Do you believe all of mankind is forgiven? Not universal salvation but universal forgiveness?'
But when consideration is given to the words 'But God commendeth His love towards us, in that while we were sinners Christ died for us.' It is evident that the penalty for sin was paid for us regardless of our 'state'.
"I need to really think this through, but thank you again Jimmy for introducing this." - In saying this I am giving myself a way out from having to think this out publicly, for that would expose my ignorance and lack of understanding of this very basic subject. However I realise that it needs to be considered - perhaps you Jimmy could state where you stand on this and then perhaps a discussion could take us both forward in our understanding of just what this means from every angle. Thank you
In Christ Jesus our risen and glorified, Saviour, Lord and Head.
Chris
