1 | Election | 1 Pet 1:2 | mark d seyler | 163902 | ||
Hi Doc, My only point in this thread was to agree with Tim, that the definition of election as given by John MacArthur and quoted by Kalos cannot be completely and exactly accurate in light of this scripture of Romans 11:7. You have stated that Tim's, and my reasons for thinking so started with a "false premise", were a "logical fallacy", and as such presented a "false dilemna". Your words. Its not the Book of Romans I have a difficulty with, its the definition of election written by MacArthur, quoted by Kalos, questioned by Tim, and defended by you. Throughout this lengthy thread you have not presented any foundation for your claim that this is a faulty premise, and as such a logical fallacy, but have instead offered advice on how to interpret the Bible, questioned if perhaps my foundational doctrines were skewed, implied that perhaps I am a bit out of focus, suggested that I would disagree no matter what you said, and in other ways as well have made statements (?) -half-statements, implications, and such - on a personal level, rather than simply discussing the scripture at hand, which is what I am interested in. But I am not interested in continuing this thread as is. Love in Christ, Mark |

Dear Brother Mark, Sometimes it is sufficient to give a person a piece of bread. Sometimes they need to receive it in a masticated form. However, when the wheat needs harvesting, stone ground, baked, and pre-digested, time becomes an important factor. Time is one of the most valuable commodities that we are given for use in the Kingdom. We must carefully evaluate how it is used. When we discern that an investment will yield an adequate return, we put the time in and look for the yield. When we discern otherwise, we shift our attention to more productive areas. We must make every effort to wisely use the time God has given us as a good steward. I apologize for contributing to the poor investment of time that this discussion has represented to you. I thought that repeated assertions simply called for repeated answers. I am sorry that my efforts have caused you only rancor. I do, also, look forward to moving on to things that will yield a higher return. :-) In Him, Doc |

Doc, I too am sorry we were not able to reach a conclusion. I pray we are all faithful to what our Lord has given us. God bless you, brother! Have a great weekend! Love in Christ, Mark |
