1 | What was the purpose of the law? | Gal 3:23 | hopalong | 187507 | ||
Hi Mark, "The Nature of Fallen Humanity This chapter explores whether the Wesleyan concept of prevenient grace can be supported from the Scriptures. Before examining this question, I want to emphasize that there is a significant area of common ground between Wesleyans and Calvinists. The disagreements that we have in some areas can cause us to overlook the extent to which we agree on major doctrines. In one arena of theology, namely, anthropology, the harmony between Wesleyans and Calvinists is of the utmost importance and our harmony in this area should be celebrated. Both camps acknowledge that fallen human beings are born with a corrupt nature that is in bondage to sin, and that human beings can do no good apart from the grace of God."

2 | What was the purpose of the law? | Gal 3:23 | mark d seyler | 187514 | ||
Hi John, One other thing I'd like to add is that I am reluctant to identify myself with "people groups" such as "Wesleyans" or "Calvinists". I wish to discuss Biblical Doctrine without the baggage often carried in "theological systems". I find it much easier that way to stay focused on specific points of Scripture. I'm not so much interested in examining how much agreement or disagreement there may be between Wesleyans and Calvinists. In my opinion (which is certainly of questionable value), both of these men had some things right and some things wrong, as I think is generally true of the lot of us. So my primary interest is simply to examine a Scripture, and see what it teaches. In doing that I believe I can know the truth of a matter. And as I am taught by others, I primarily wish to examine what they are teaching by Scripture itself, to see if it is in agreement. I have every confidence that you wish to do the same, I simply say this for clarity. Love in Christ, Mark |
