1 | Predestination | Eccl 6:10 | Mamre | 197550 | ||
Quote: "Let's find scripture we can agree on and edify each other!" Dear sister I should love you FAR better than that! I should recommend to you ALL the Scripture, as Paul said; "The WHOLE counsel of God" which is why we have his clear teachings on sovereignty and predestination. God bless you. |

2 | Predestination | Eccl 6:10 | Mamre | 197549 | ||
Quote: 'The wide-spread but sadly mistaken superstition that salvation depends upon the decision of unregenerate and therefore spiritually-dead and spiritually-blind people, has no basis in the Scriptures.' Yes, what can a DEAD man do?!! (Eph. 2:1-10) But 150 years of Finney's rank pelagianism has left its almost indelible (apart from grace)mark on the Christian mind! Quote:'Instead, Christ and His Apostles repeatedly teach and emphasise in the Scriptures that the sovereignty of God – Who works all things according to the counsel of His own will (refer Ephesians 1:11b) - always omnipotently prevails throughout the entire salvation process, from before Creation to ultimate glory.' Yes, and that that's what the Word teaches, there is no doubt. |

3 | Predestination | Eccl 6:10 | Mamre | 197530 | ||
(Quote) 'What I want you to hear from this is that God loves you, has sacrificed His own son to die a horrific death to pay for your sins and mine, if I was the only one on this earth that sinned He would have come to save just me. Because He loves me that much. And He loves you that much, He loves you enough to die, to bleed, to put that burn in your heart to know him. All you need to do is believe that He loves you, and died for you, and pray to him for forgiveness and confess that you are a sinner and need for him to come into your heart and be your lord and savior.' This statement is one that posits that while Jesus died for every soul that ever lived, it has not achieved that aim, and has largely failed. The question it begs (apart from its incitement to humanism by making the atonement's 'potential' only realised by the action of an unregenerate soul) is whether the atonement IS universal, or, as the Reformers taught (as well as Jesus Paul and Peter!) the Atonement IS Limited as to persons, namely the Called. (Acts 2:39) |
