1 | Is sin inherited from father and mother? | Rom 5:12 | disciplerami | 75863 | ||
Hi Joe, That God is not partial, biased, or prejudiced has to do with His nature. He will judge all men according to the same standard. He does not judge some men more harshly than others. He is fair and just. That is the idea. This fairness will translate into some being saved and most being lost. It also means that God does not give a free pass to some and others get overlooked. The offer to drink of the living water is to whosoever will. And God means it. He's not playing a game, it's not semantics, it's not a hat trick. Every individual can potentially go to heaven through faith in the atoning blood of Christ. God offers it and man must take hold of it. God's grace reaches down and man's faith takes it. As many as received...He gave the right to become children of God. Have a good dan! |

I agree with you here: "He will judge all men according to the same standard." "The offer to drink of the living water is to whosoever will." "As many as received...He gave the right to become children of God." My point about the "respecter of persons" was that the verses which use that term do not speak of God giving everyone the opportunity to be saved. While arguments are obviously made that He does give everyone the opportunity, the "respecter of persons" line is used out of its context in such arguments. Kind of like people trying to explain away God's perfect and holy wrath as not REALLY being wrath because "God is love." --Joe! |
