1 | Predestination | Eccl 6:10 | New Creature | 197465 | ||
Doc said: "According to the apostle Paul, God 'works all things according to the counsel of His will' (Ephesians 1:11). Paul said all things; not some things or even most things but all things." This is one of the few times I have ever seen someone of the Reformed faith say that "all" really does mean "all" and not some. Doc; I hope you are consistant and believe "all" in each of the following verses means "all" and not some. John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself. 1 Ti 2:4 who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Tim 2:6 who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times; 1 Tim 4:10 For to this end we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of them that believe. Tit 2:11 For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men P.S. before you ask, no I am not a universalist theologically speaking. Let me close with this quote from an Early Reformer named Zanchi. "God doesn't decree which individuals will be saved, but rather decrees what sort of individuals will be saved, namely believers in Christ Jesus." Yours in Christ NC |

Congratulations New Creature. You won this round hands down. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. |

Greetings Val! Unfortunately, this topic is one that for some unknown reason to me is not easily discussed by most without pride getting in the way. Unfortunately, the passage you offer neither proves or disproves either view on the subject. But your statement leading off the post does reflect what I'm saying about pride. At least it comes accross that way! :-( I only draw your attention to this to encourage you not to allow yourself to fall victim like so many have in the past. I've watched you post to the forum for some time now and it seems obvious to me you love the word and most of all the Lord God and you enjoy sharing and discussing His word with others. Always keep in mind dear sister it is His word and no man or woman ever has a position to lord over it! When others do, leave them to it and pray they come to understand how precious it is! For God Himself said "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." (Isaiah 55:11) May His word convict our hearts and humble us before Him a people desperate for His salvation, understanding and wisdom and may our hearts remain humbled before Him and may our words, actions and thoughts be honoring to Him! From the heart, Steve |

I am not in this discussion. I was encouraging New Creature for his excellent commentary. I see you have done the same in the past to those who you wanted to. The scripture I used is to me one of the most loved in the bible and used as an encouragment to New Creature. | ||||||
