1 | Submissive or Suppressed Wills | Luke 22:42 | mark d seyler | 167206 | ||
Hi WOS, You have done a exemplary work of research and analysis, and given us a clear, and Scripture-filled presentation. This can be a very confusing and complex topic, since the details are not spelled out, and we must reconcile many seemingly conflicting passages. I have one question for you regarding something you said. You wrote "God enables our will, forgoing suppression, and acts on it in such a way that causes us to willfully yield. We are responsive in as far as we willingly turn to faith in Christ in which previously, this desire did not exist within us and therefore we were unable." By this do you mean that the first consent to salvation we give is after the act of regeneration is completed? Love in Christ, Mark |

Brother Mark, If by consent you imply agreeable to or to show willingness, then yes I can feel comfortable with those terms but not necessarily pertaining to salvation, however, if the implication is one of granting permission, most assuredly no, pertaining to salvation or regeneration. I was more simply implying that we are responsive to regeneration, driven by an act of God that makes us now able to respond positively where as prior to, we were unwilling or arguably more appropriately, unable, to respond. The way in which God fully acts upon us however, I have moved away from and not tried to detail any further and would not want to now, as I don't believe Scripture has revealed in full the intricacies of that action. Consenting to salvation was not meant to be implied in general terms, rather responsiveness to regeneration and the influence thereof. WOS |
