1 | Lionstrong, this is not universalism. | Eph 3:6 | Morant61 | 19022 | ||
Greetings Joe! Thanks for the clarification! I guess my view would be closer to a modified 'Sublapsarianism.' Again, for those who are not familiar with this term, it says that God's decrees were made in the following order: 1) The decree to create human beings. 2) The decree to permit the fall. 3) The decree to provide salvation sufficent for all. 4) The decree to save some and reprobate others. Of course, I would modify 4) to say something like: 4) The decree to elect those who respond it faith. I am not conviced of the value of these terms, since they can only be implied from Scripture. However, they are helpful in terms of understanding a person's worldview. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Lionstrong, this is not universalism. | Eph 3:6 | Reformer Joe | 19024 | ||
Tim: Sounds about as classically Arminian as you can get! Phil Johnson of Grace to You (John MacArthur's ministry) casts Arminianism in almost exactly the same terms that you do, but he defines my view as "sublapsarianism," making it synonymous with infralapsarianism. I would encourage everyone on the forum to read an article by him to see where they stand on this whole issue. Even though he seems to share my position, he is very fair in categorizing the different views. To get this link, you will have to replace the [TILDE] in the address with the little sqiggly thing that often goes over the "n" in Spanish. Silly studybibleforum.com won't let us type it in our text: http://www.gty.org/[TILDE]phil/articles/sup_infr.htm Thanks again for making me think! --Joe! |

Greetings Joe! Intresting site! I was surprised once to find that Hank Hanagraaf held to a view similar to mine. I haven't checked out his web site about it, but I did hear it on his radio program once. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
