This seems wildly speculative (and incorrect). The Bible nowhere suggests that succeeding ages nullify the grace of previous ages. (Steve pg 8, Dec 30)
Our commentary is speculative? The UR answer defines ‘speculative’. The Bible nowhere suggests that succeeding ages nullify 'the death and warnings' of previous ages, unless you repent and believe, you will die.
I don’t think that the threat of unforgiveness (and therefore hell) is “punchless.” You often suggest this, but it makes no sense to me. (Steve pg 8, Dec 30)
CI says: Some
will never ever, ever, ever, ever get a second chance, this life is it.
UR says: you will be punished and
everyone will get a second chance.
Scripture suggests some
cannot ever, ever, ever, ever be forgiven; neither in this life, or the next, how many times must it be repeated?
You make it as if supporting this view is uneducated, and ignorant, well aren't you?
You keep substituting hell for what CI understands the punishment to be: eternal death. There is strong reason to believe there is no second opportunity if you refuse, reject, 'deny the Son He will deny you', etc, etc. UR says you will have a chance to repent, somewhere (?) post mortem. CI and most every theologian and commentary I have seen says that many were warned, and many have
sealed their fate by rejecting the Gospel. How can this not make sense? We, like the Prophets, must warn people because we have been warned ourselves that God suggests that there may be no other chance to renew your repentance - if you refuse Him, only death. How can I say it so you understand??
UR says you will be punished sure, but UR teaches there will be
a chance for everyone to repent.
CI says you will be punished, and
for some, there will be no chance to repent.
You absolutely cannot reject Him according to what (the Bible) I am saying, and have another opportunity (let alone multiple opportunities) and most CI proponents generally teach the same.
