1 | THE CROSS | John 3:16 | BradK | 89723 | ||
Hank, Your words are well spoken and hit at the heart of this matter. Having just concluded 4 weeks in our adult Sunday school class dealing with the foundations of the Calvinist/Arminianist positions, I see merit to both. Having said that, I do consider myself a Calvinist ( to the delight of some and chagrin of others). With that said, 500 years of Church History should be enough to tell us we have not and will not solve this dilemma. I've learned from both sides. I think Spurgeon- though an avowed Calvinist-said it well, "DO NOT IMAGINE for an instant that I pretend to be able thoroughly to elucidate the great mysteries of predestination. There are some men who claim to know all about the matter. They twist it round their fingers as easily as if it were an everyday thing; but depend upon it, he who thinks he knows all about this mystery, knows but very little. It is but the shallowness of his mind that permits him to see the bottom of his knowledge; he who dives deep, finds that there is in the lowest depth to which he can attain a deeper depth still. The fact is, that the great questions about man's responsibility, free-will, and predestination, have been fought over, and over, and over again, and have been answered in ten thousand different ways; and the result has been, that we know just as much about the matter as when we first began." Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
