It is not debate, Searcher, it is instruction. There is a distinct difference. Interestingly, many, over the years, have suggested that the doctrine of predestination should not be preached. I've always thought that that was hugely presumptuous. We live by EVERY word of God. Dr. Francis Turretin, responding to that very suggestion of hiding God's light under a bushel when he wrote, "Christ and the apostles frequently taught it [predestination] (as appears from the Gospel, Matthew 11:20, 25; 13:11; 25:34; Luke 10:20; 12:32; John 8:47; 15:16 and in other places; and from the epistles of Paul (the whole of Romans 9 and Rom. 8:29, 30; Ephesians 1:4, 5; 2 Timothy 1:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:9; 2 Thessalonians 2:13). Nor otherwise do Peter, James and John express themselves who speak repeatedly of this mystery whenever occasion offered. Now if it was proper for them to teach it, why is it not proper for us to learn it? Why should God teach what would have been better (arrifton) unspoken (ameinon)? Why did He wish to proclaim those things which it would be better not to know? Do we wish to be more prudent than God or to prescribe rules to Him?" |

God's day to you, Doc, If there is a disagreement, I consider it a debate, whilst one "instructs" the other(s), including the likes of Huldrych Zwingli on the doctrine of predestination. Searcher |

Dear Searcher: I looked on Theological.org and saw Mr. Zwingli. This is what it said about him Ulrich Zwingli (1484-1531) Major work • “Ten Theses of Berne” (1528) Importance • Third most important early Protestant reformer • Leader in Zurich • Held to a memorial view of Lord’s Supper • Was strongly predestinarian • Strong commitment to Scriptural authority • Opposed relics and penance • Strong view of providence • Held to inclusivism believing that there were “pious heathen” who were saved. • Inspired and then opposed Anabaptists • Was a Catholic priest • Preached exegetical sermons beginning with Matthew • Died in battle while serving Zurich troops • Had organs removed from church services Very interesting.
