1 | does God chose who he will save | Eph 1:1 | hobbs | 185881 | ||
Thanks for your thouhts NC, I agree with your conclusion from John 6:44 ..."Therefore this drawing should be classified as monergistic."... My question to you is: why do you see the the case of the jailer in a different light. It seems apparent to me that he had experienced the drawing of the Father as well. Brother Hobbs |

2 | does God chose who he will save | Eph 1:1 | New Creature | 185887 | ||
Brother Hobbs Yes the jailer experienced the monergistic drawing. The drawing is solely God's work. That is why I believe the drawing must be classified as monergistic in nature. The beliving part is what man must do in response to the drawing. When the jailer asked Paul and Silas: "What must I do to be saved" Paul and Silas didn't respond and say to the jailer; "There is absolutely nothing you can do to be saved" Instead they told the jailer exactly what HE MUST DO. They told the jailer that HE HAS TO believe. By responding in belief the jailer is acting synergistically. Believing is an act man must do. God enables a man to believe, but man must individually and personally do his own believing, although God gives the man the ability to do so. As an illustration, I can lead a horse to the water trough, but once I lead him there, there horse must drink for himself. The drinking part is something the horse must do for himself. I can't do that for him. |
