1 | Preordained free will? | 1 Pet 2:9 | Twally | 1454 | ||
R. C. Sproul quote: "There are aspects of God's own nature that remain shrouded in mystery. How He governs His creation by a soverign will that works through human agents without destroying their volition or responsibility is one." John Calvin quote: "Now the reason why the LORD treats some mercifully and exercises the rigour of His judgement towards others we must leave to be known by him alone, for He, with very good intentions, has wished that it should be hidden from us all. The course insensitivity of our mind would not be able to bear such a great light; nor would our smallness be able to understand such great wisdom." I have had a easier time when confronted with what seems to be contradiction by accepting the mystery. Deuteronomy 29:29 says it well ! |

Good answer, Twally! I suspect that Calvin was less of a Calvinist than some suspect, and Arminus was less of an Arminist than many Arminists. Paul certainly did not seem too impressed by 'Pauline' doctrine :-) In Christ Jesus. |

Good observations, Charis. While we're at it: Was Martin Luther a Lutheran? Did he want to be one? He was quoted as saying that it was never his intention that a newly founded church be named after him. | ||||||

Friend, was Peter a Pope? This is a lot harder to answer, and a lot more controversial and emotional. In Christ Jesus. | ||||||
5 | Define "Pope." | 1 Pet 2:9 | kalos | 1493 | ||
Thank you for the challenge of a question that is harder to answer, more controversial and emotional. Before I can answer your question, I will ask you one. Define "Pope." (I'll act like some of the members of this forum and pretend I never heard of a dictionary and let you do the work yourself, not having the ambition to look it up for myself.) | ||||||
6 | Define "Pope." | 1 Pet 2:9 | PNLamb | 1495 | ||
