Actually, you don't understand the Calvinism/Arminian thing. I Cor. 2:14 says, "..the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness unto him, neither CAN he know them for they are spiritually discerned." And again, Jhn. 6:44 says, "no man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him..." You don't understand the fall. Man is not sick, he is dead (Eph. 2:1). If your view is correct, there is still some good in man. However, the Bible says, "there is none that doeth good" (Psa. 14:1, Psa. 14:3, Psa. 53:1, Psa. 53:3, Rom. 3:12). There is nothing within man that wants God unless God convicts him of his sin and shows him he needs a Savior. I pray you will consider this and not just defend preconceived ideas. |

Well, I was washed in the Blood which makes me alive and cleansed. And if I seek God, persistently, I will be restored. I did, do everyday of my life, and even every hour of every day on many, many days, so I think I shine with my Savior's righteousness when God looks at me. One or the other of you are arguing that God is the one who planted the persistence in me and that its preordained that I would awaken to that one day/ somehow, causing me to seek. So basically we're talking here a 'which comes first, the chicken or the egg' argument and I don't know how we'd ever know who was right or wrong on that issue until our Lord comes back to claim His own. I do wonder how you work in the parable of the sower and the seeds in Matthew though. That was a legitimate inquiry by the way. I am considering this. And I also wonder how those on the side of only some being amongst the elect deal with Jeremiah 31:33-34 I also don't get how you think I am defending preconceived ideas since I only just came to the conclusion it was pretty awful with the post you read. In Christ, Melanie |
