1 | Did the disciples have a choice? | John 15:16 | Hank | 37748 | ||
Thanks for the "BC" (Before Calvinism) quotes, Tim. I have a enormous respect for Dr. Geisler and will likely purchase his book from which you quote. Tim, the Bible says that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. That's exactly how I came to have saving faith in Christ Jesus when I was 14 years old. I heard the Good News -- the Gospel -- preached, became convinced that it was true, became convicted that I was a sinner who needed a Savior and it was I who responded to the call. No one in heaven or on earth FORCED me to respond. Clearly, very clearly, I COULD HAVE CHOSEN TO REJECT CHRIST'S OFFER OF SALVATION. (I would expect this statement to be challenged on this forum!) --Hank | ||||||

Hank, I think we are both aware how much it already has been challenged! --Joe! |

Joe, you're very right, we are both of us aware, and keenly aware too I believe, of how much challenge has been laid down to both sides of the issue. Furthermore, I submit it is vain to entertain the idea that we can settle on this forum this issue, or any other issue that has been so hotly debated for centuries without resolution. For so many months I've hoped for, prayed for, and really expected to see a higher level of discourse on this forum. But for a few notable exceptions, it has not been forthcoming. Will we learn any lessons from past mistakes? Who knows? I don't. --Hank | ||||||
