Hi Pastor Emilio!
It's good to hear some sold, Biblical criticism of this attack upon Reformed theology. Thanks for the work that you guys do in proclaiming the Gospel and examining social issues in the light of Scripture! Keep it up and may the Lord give you strength and grace to keep up the fight (1 Corinthians 15:11)!
Regarding the 'whosoever' reading in John 3:16, the Reformed translators of the Geneva Bible (1599) also used the word 'whosoever' to translate the Greek, and they were pretty staunch in their theology. I think the English term is alright so long as you know what the translators intended it to convey; not libertarian free will, but the reality that everyone who DOES believe in Christ WILL have everlasting life because the Father sent Him into the world to be raised up on our behalf.
May God bless your ministry and be with you guys at your Compelled Conference this week!
