Dear Mark, You wrote, "How could they, that is, the hardened be later grafted in, if they were not of the elect?" Where does it say that everyone hardened is permanently hardened? Certainly that must be true for many, otherwise Paul wouldn't have talked about it. In any case, God saves at the perfect time so that it brings Him the most glory. If it serves His eternal purpose to harden a heart, only later to draw/drag that heart to salvation, that is His Sovereign choice. (His will is even more free than ours!) Puzzles seem inexplicable, sometimes, when you narrow your focus. When you back away, sometimes the bigger picture increases the clarity. Perhaps repetition of my answers will help with the repetition of questions: If someone is grafted in, they are the elect. If someone is the elect, they will eventually be grafted in. What's this thing with numbers have to do with the question? Is God bound by time? Or are you suggesting the doctrine of Open Theists? In Him, Doc PS Yes... every choice is our own. Yes, every man is responsible. Yes, each will die for their own sin. However, the sin of Adam is imputed to all humanity just as though they had done it themselves. However, the righteousness of Christ is imputed to those who are saved by grace just as though they had done it themselves. The latter "howevers" is called "double imputation." I'm really big on sound Biblical doctrine. :-) |

Dear Brother Lionheart, What we inherit from Adam is a corrupt or polluted nature. The sin we commit is a consequence of that nature (see Matthew 15:19; Romans 8:7; Colossians 1:21; James 1:14). However, Scripture teaches that Adam was the "federal head" of the human race. As the old divines put it, "As Adam and Eve stood in the room and stead of all mankind, the guilt of their sin was reckoned by God's appointment to the account of all their posterity." This is called imputation. (See Job 14:4; Psalms 51:5; Romans 5:12-19; 6:20; 1 Corinthians 15:21, 22, 45, 49; Ephesians 2:3; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; Hebrews 2:14-15) In Him, Doc |
