1 | How can anyone be saved? | 1 Cor 2:14 | John Reformed | 61298 | ||
Dear Emmaus, I totally lost track of your post. Forgive me. What I was driving at is that perhaps we should stik to human ability as it relates to spiritual things and the "natural" man. Focusing out attention on 1 cor 2:14. I am all for going to any other verse in the Bible as long as it sheds light on our question. Fair enough? Thank you Emmaus, John |

2 | How can anyone be saved? | 1 Cor 2:14 | Emmaus | 61328 | ||
John, I think this subject has been worked over enough. I am going to let it and you rest. I just think that the position you hold in many ways attempts to put back up the veil of the temple that was torn open at Jesus' death. God's sovereignty is not in doubt just because He has drawn near and made us partakers of His divine nature. On the free will issue, I believe that even if man is "dead in his trespasses," God's prevenient grace can eleveate man's crippled will to the place where he is able to make a free choice and either "resist the Holy Spirit" as Stephen accused the Sanhedrin in Acts, or surrender to the Holy Spirit and His grace. It still comes under God's grace if that is the way God wants to exrcise His perogatives. I think that is a reasonable way to reconcile the "free will" verses cited by so many with the other verses you choose to emphasize. I know where you are coimg from, I just think you you are trying to put God into too small a box, although I am sure you do not see it that way. Peace, Emmaus |
