1 | Is there middle ground? | Romans | Morant61 | 21774 | ||
Greetings Charis! You may refuse to accept a label either way, but you said: "I also know that in the realm of MY influence on others, each individual can claim that the blood of Christ covered THEIR sins, because the Bible tells THEM so." Calvinists would disagree with this statement! ;-) Each individual can't say that in their view. I'll bet that if we set down and went through the doctrines point by point, you would come down on one side or the other! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Is there middle ground? | Romans | charis | 21776 | ||
Dear Tim, Blessings in Jesus' name! You lose! (tsk, tsk, betting is unbecoming! :-)) I have spent time with each doctrine, and disagree with both on major points, and agree with both on major points. While this may seem impossible to man, I trust fully that it is possible in the grace of the Lord Jesus, with the leading of the Holy Spirit. Each bases a good deal of their belief on assumption and conjecture that the Bible is bound by human logic or feeling. I do not accept this restraint. God's way is beyond human intellect and human emotion, both of which can lead us to a path of little faith and a lot of religion. Whatever a Calvinist might say, when faith is visited upon a person, he knows that Christ's blood is applied to him. This assurance is given to all believers, and clearly stated in the Word of God. Brother, I do not make these statements lightly, or without study, thought or prayer! In fact, the sum of my effort has caused me to reject both of these extremist, absolutist doctrines. I still say that God is above and beyond either of these poles, whether you want to call that the 'middle' or not. (personally, I prefer 'Jesus-centric') Peace to you, my friend, in Christ Jesus, charis |
