1 | How can we influence who is saved? | 1 Pet 2:9 | Dud M3 | 1270 | ||
I'm having difficulty understanding both this verse and the purpose of evangelism from a Calvinistic interpretation (do I understand that correctly?) If God in his wisdom has already chosen those whom will be saved, then, what is the point of sharing the Gospel with others? I understand that Jesus commands us to do so, and that is reason enough for me. But intellectually, I must admit to asking, "Why bother? Some will be saved, some won't, I can't change what God has preordained." What a depressing thought! Or, ought I find inspiration in that thought? | ||||||

I am not a hyper-Calvinist, so I suppose I shouldn't attempt to answer your question. Nor will I. | ||||||
3 | How can we influence who is saved? | 1 Pet 2:9 | retxar | 3566 | ||
The scpipture and your understanding are not the the problem. Examine your belief in Calvinism. Forsake it if it does not line up with the Word. | ||||||
4 | How can we influence who is saved? | 1 Pet 2:9 | kalos | 3568 | ||
"Examine my belief in Calvinism?" What is wrong with you? In my previous postings, did I not say, "I am not a hyper-Calvinist?" Are we living in the Bizarro world? Why would you tell me to examine my belief in Calvinism, when I just got through telling you I deny belief in Calvinism? ??????? What in the world are you talking about? |

Sorry jvh0212, remember the original question from dud_m3? "How can we influence who is saved?" The content of the messege was "the question I'm having difficulty understanding both this verse and the purpose of evangelism from a Calvinistic interpretation", that was what I was responding to, not you. I'm new here man, give me a break! I thought that was something anyone could respond to. Sorry. | ||||||

Your apology is accepted, though none was needed. It is I who needs to apologize to you. I was completely out of line. When I saw that you had addressed your reply to my posting, I immediately jumped to the conlcusion that you were talking to me. Upon further reflection, I realized that you were probably addressing the primary question and not me. I sincerely apologize. I have wronged you. I was not being Christ-like when I wrote my reply. Give you a break? Of course! Welcome to the website. Please stay with us. Everyone is not as impulsive as I sometimes am. Peace? | ||||||
