1 | What about those who never hear gospel? | Prov 24:12 | Scribe | 86084 | ||
I see no contradiction. I have never once seen a contradiction in the sinfulness of man and the fact that he can attempt to be moral and choose to do well. That fact does not make him innocent or make up for the wrongs he has done or will do. I never even heard of another idea (man can't choose) until I had been a committed christian for over 5 years. Not until I met a Calvanist did I know anyone thought that way. And he was a drinker, so I never gave it much thought. My point is you have to be trained by other men to think in terms of men not being able to choose to do well. They have still all failed. | ||||||

Greetings Scribe! I would agree with our Calvinistic brothers if it were not for verses like John 12:32: "But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." Our Calvinistic brothers make an excellent point concerning the priority of God in salvation. He takes the initative. He seeks us first. If it were not for His actions, none would be saved. However, I think that they underplay the fact that God desires all to be saved and is actively drawing them to Him. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
