1 | explain the doctrine of predistination | Rom 9:13 | Morant61 | 165019 | ||
Greetings Doc! Allow me to touch upon your points and questions. 1) Drawing effectual? There is not a single verse that states that those who are drawn will in fact believe. So, if by 'effectual' you mean that everyone drawn will believe, I would say that it is not 'effectual'. But, I would not call His drawing 'ineffectual' either. :-) 2) Yes, I believe that He draws every single human being, since this is what John 12:32 says. 3) You wrote: "God's drawing is a work He does alone by His own free will. Man's belief is a work He does alone by his own free will. God's drawing work in cooperation with man's belief work accomplishes salvation." I would not state it in quite this way. God alone accomplishes salvation, not man's belief. The best analogy that I can use is the analogy of a gift. A gift must be received, but the reception of the gift does not effect the gift itself in any way. The gift of God is salvation. He did everything. He offers it to us freely. We can accept it or reject it. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Is predistination part of the Calvinism/Arminianism debate? If so stop discussing it here. | ||||||

Greetings Searcher! I will stop my friend! However, I am at a loss as to what we can discuss. :-( The atonement is a question of debate! God's sovereignty is a question of debate! God's will is a question of debate! The gospel call is a question of debate! The nature of faith is a question of debate! The nature of salvation is a question of debate! To avoid all aspects of this debate, we would have to refuse to discuss any Scripture or principle relating to salvation. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
