Re: All Scripture is God Breathed and Profitable
God's eternal purpose is to dispense Himself into man that He and man may be united together. Man was created to receive God as life and live in an interwoven and united incorporation with God - God in man and man in God.
​
A thought which tends to leave me gobsmacked whenever I quieten down long enough to begin to begin to appreciate the monumentality of it all..
​
"Good news". What an understatement.

Would you pay someone else's debts and let them off the hook.

Er...that's what forgiveness entails. Paying the debt someone owes you yourself.

No. True forgivness is to forgive all people. Not just those who will follow.
​
True forgiveness means paying the cost of anothers debt to you - yourself. Every last cent of it. Universal true forgiveness is doing the same thing for all people.
​
If a person is insistant that they want to pay the debt themselves then I see no reason why God should force them to be forgiven.
​
To forgive those that died before Jesus was born would have been the way as well.
​
? I didn't know folk couldn't be saved before Christ was born.
​
Indeed, Abraham was credited with righteousness in the OT and is used by Paul as the ilustrative model of NT salvation mechanics
