1 | How can anyone be saved? | 1 Cor 2:14 | John Reformed | 61184 | ||
Dear Makarios, I forthwith free you from the bondage of reading my posts. From this day forward you are released to enjoy each and every post that you may choose. Why would you write to me as you have? Do I exercise some control over anyone? Of course not! In a free forum and under the guidelines therof, discussion and debate as well as fellowship are to be encouraged not discouraged. How can one discuss the Bible but at the same time not employ his theology? It's like saying "you can play ball with us but please don't bring your bat or glove." You may not realize it, but what you are actually asking for is, for me and others, to refrain from speaking those things that were taught by the fathers of the protestant religion! Doctrines that have until recent times, been foundational to the faith! I really do not think that you would wish me to do that. Would you? John Reformed |

2 | How can anyone be saved? | 1 Cor 2:14 | Lionstrong | 61301 | ||
Jude 1:3 Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints. Jude 1:4 For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Hello John, While I certainly don't accuse our Arminian brethren of being enemies of the Cross of Christ, I think most of our struggles with what the Bible does or does not teach comes from "in the house," not from the outside, as the above passage seems to suggest. The sovereignty of God in salvation will be a continuing (and important!) topic of discussion and debate and Bible study on the forum, just as there will always be trivial questions about weather the sons of God are angels. So keep defending the doctrines of grace. I'm not saying that you haven't or won't make any mistakes along the way, but I believe you are within the Forum guide lines. Those who hate sovereign grace or who are simply tired of the subject need not post any comments. This is the proper place to discuss "thus saith the Lord." Peace, |
