1 | Is hearing necessary for salvation? | Rom 10:17 | sniper | 76518 | ||
Certainly worth a penny more. Thank you. Indeed it is a jump to use Ps. 111:10 and Pro. 9:10 as proof that "only the Spirit of God can give understsanding". True, fear of the Lord is spiritual discernment, and I cannot conclude that only the Spirit can give understanding of spiritual things. As you have stated, Paul teaches that creation is an evidence of God which should lead men towards him. That seems as though God expects spiritual discernment of everyone. |

2 | Is hearing necessary for salvation? | Rom 10:17 | disciplerami | 76576 | ||
Greetings Sniper, I'm glad to see we agree. I would add-for the sake of those who might misunderstand my position--thatI believe the Spirit is giving the understanding of spiritual things through His inspired Word. The nature of the Word itself, is such that it has power to convict. This is why the Holy Spirit directed that all men hear the good news, that it might convict and bring men to repetance. Concerning your first question, hearing is necessary for salvation because what does a person believe if he has not yet heard? I've heard people say that salvation precedes even the hearing of the Gospel, but I don't think that is a supportable position. Have a good day. |
