1 | Salvation by compulsion-Romans 5 | Rom 5:1 | formereverything | 121841 | ||
Romans 5 seems to be promoting a salvation by compulsion. Am I not getting this correctly? Note the term "Dominion" in this verse: 17 If, because of the one man's trespass, death exercised dominion through that one, much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness exercise dominion in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. I think of the word 'dominion' as being devoid of choice. Note the term 'just as' in these verses: 18 Therefore just as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man's act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all. 19 For just as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

(John 1:12-13) And, particularly: just as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.' (Matthew 20:28) Had salvation been an automatic "blanket" that would cover all for all times, why would only those who believe are granted inclusivity into the Kingdom of God and why would Jesus state that He is the ransom for many and not for all? God Bless! Angel |
