1 | Basis of election and predestination? | Eph 1:5 | Morant61 | 197175 | ||
Greetings New Creature! I would highly recommend not pursuing this particular topic. From long experience, I know that both sides of this issue are pretty set on their positions and no amount of discussion will change either side. :-) I would recommend two good books on this topic though: "Life in the Son" and "Elect in the Son" by Robert Shank. He does an excellent, and through, study on election from the perspective of one who used to be Calvinistic, but was convinced otherwise. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thanks for the advice Tim. First of all I realize the truth of what you say. Secondly, I don't plan on hotly pursing this topic. I am only going to interject with short bits which are mainly food for thought. Lastly I have read Shank's work several times. Yours in His precious name |

4 | Basis of election and predestination? | Eph 1:5 | New Creature | 197249 | ||
I thought they were excellent and uninfluenced by the necessities of man's theology. I was very interested in how Shank presented a Christocentric election. I also loved how Shank handled the topic of the reprobate, especilayy when he stated; "If no man, either elect or reprobate, can resist the will of God, against whom or what is the Spirit striving when He "strives with man"? Another great comment from Shank I enjoyed was: "While the election of particular men is contingent on the condition of faith, the election of the body is unconditional in the sense that election is an eternal purpose of God - the kingdom purpose of God which antedates creation." |
