1 | Who has the opportunity to be saved? | Job 38:1 | jg8ball | 1095 | ||
I think we are closer in our beliefs than we realize. I guess our difference here is that I believe God's choosing us could be viewed as God making an initial offer to us and giving us the option to accept it or not. In other words, God chose all of us in his plan for salvation but want's us to make the decision to follow him on our own. Unfortunately, not all will. This thought allows for both the "Whosovers" and the "God's Choosing" to coexist nicely and makes it easier to interpret these "conflicting" passages. The other area we disagree on is that I believe it's possible to renounce one's salvation - although I have no idea why one would. I've replied back to you on this topic in another posting and in case you haven't read it yet, I appologize in advance for any little digs :) I tend to get a little over passionate on this stuff. |

2 | Who has the opportunity to be saved? | Job 38:1 | kalos | 1135 | ||
Thanks for your reply. It is I who owe you an apology: I'm afraid I have been somewhat passionate and have made unkind remarks to you. See, that's why I couldn't be on the radio to field Bible questions. That and the fact that I don't know all the answers -- not by a long shot. I get too emotional, too passionate, whatever you want to call it. . . . Probably what I should do with my replies is to write them and then sleep on them. Re-read them the next day and decide whether they are appropriate before I send them. . . . I really like this new attitude of mutual respect and kindness, even though we don't agree on every last little thing. . . . I too think we may be closer in our beliefs than we realize. Perhaps some of the differences are because I'm not thorough enough in my questions or comments. Or perhaps I don't choose the right words to convey what I mean. I sincerely mean this. Thanks again for your reply. |
