1 | Why won't Calvinists answer directly??? | Job 38:1 | RElderCascade | 2080 | ||
Yes, praise Him for His mighty works! Amazing that we also partake of His work and are numbered among the Blesse!. When we really think about this lovely, grace-giving, perfect being It is no wonder that Paul would break into such pumped up praise of Him! Your analysis which points out the personal pronouns does a great job of valuing the text for what it really says. Even the opposite position recognizes a large part of the truth that we are unable to come to God because of the fall. Did you ever look at how the finest Arminians or Wesleyans talk about man needing to be wooed, or coaxed? They get this from the Bible's word -- call. They are part of the way there, now if they could only look at what the authors meant with their use of the word. |

2 | Why won't Calvinists answer directly??? | Job 38:1 | inHzsvc | 2087 | ||
It is interesting to me that many Arminians believe in a call to the ministry, but, reject an effectual call to salvation. Is not calling one to the ministry and not calling another a form of election and reprobation(though not in the salvation sense)? God bless you and yours. |

3 | Why won't Calvinists answer directly??? | Job 38:1 | RElderCascade | 2138 | ||
Yes, it appears to me that there is much surrounding the issues of normal Christianity that requires election in its various forms! I have always studied (and recommend to others to do so as well) the Eternal Decrees of God. Read Charles Hodges or John Calvin on this. I have many of the popular modern theologians as well, but they (like Ryrie, Chafer, etc.) leave the issue quite alone! | ||||||

I'll add two to your list, if you don't know of them. A.W. Pink and John Gill both have some good to say concerning the Decrees of God. If you don't own a copy of John Gill's "A Body of Doctrinal and Practical Divinity", you should. God bless. |
