1 | Why two tablets ??? | Is 33:22 | swerv | 152596 | ||
Doc: I agree - I will pose some question from my prior note. I will follow-up on your note shortly but do not have time now but wanted to thank you for great respose. But I think we both agree that I am not saving that God's grace does not exist or work prior to a willful choice to accept that grace. My major point on grace is that we must choose to accept the grace and act upon it by repenting. But God's grace is not going to saved an unwilling heart. Also I am not "anti-Christian" in what I said about Jesus. Jesus's act of his death is what atones or "saves" us. But unless we accept this we cannot be saved. This was my point. God could of it he wanted too - make an ark big enough to fit all mankind but He did not ask Noah to do this -- WHY !! God knew the hearts of the wicked and unrepentive people !! Noah spread the work of the flood but he could not save them unless they wanted to get in. I hope we are clear now on my points of grace and Jesus "saves". I will provide the scriptures you wanted shortly and add new threads. Merv |

Dear Merv, You wrote, "But I think we both agree that I am not saving that God's grace does not exist or work prior to a willful choice to accept that grace." No, we do not agree. Please see my postings on the ordo salutis. This, like much else that you have posted, does not reflect orthodoxy. Canon 4 of the Council of Orange (529 AD) states: If anyone maintains that God awaits our will to be cleansed from sin, but does not confess that even our will to be cleansed comes to us through the infusion and working of the Holy Spirit, he resists the Holy Spirit himself who says through Solomon, "The will is prepared by the Lord" (Prov. 8:35, LXX), and the salutary word of the Apostle, "For God is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure" (Phil. 2:13). If you would like to read the entire commentary, you will find it at www.reformed.org/documents/canons_of_orange.html In Him, Doc |
