1 | Is the Potter free to do as He pleases? | Eph 2:3 | John Reformed | 99234 | ||
The Elect(objects of mercy) and non-elect (objects of wrath pre-pared for destruction). The reason that you do not see the obvious is because you do not believe (correct me if I am wrong) that there are "objects of wrath prepared for destruction". Like most modern evangelicals, you probably believe "man is the captain of his soul and the master of his fate." I would'nt fault you for feeling this way. Most of us, including myself, were brought up believing that we are entitled to choose whether or not Christ will rule in our lives. In other words: We get to vote yea or nay; we elect ourselves. The trouble with this viewpoint is that God is not the President of a democracy. He is the King who rules over His domain, dispencing mercy or justice according to His good pleasure. I do not deny that this is a bitter pill to swallow. My own initial reaction was "thats not fair!". The strange thing is that once I humbled myself before the God's Word (which convinced me that Scripture supported God's sovereign rule over all things), it began to be sweeter and sweeter as the pill was digested in my belly. This truth is taught throughout Scripture. If you really are serious about it's foundation, I suggest you go to: www.reformed.org/books/pink/pink_sov_01.html John |

John Correct me if I am wrong, but this didn't seem to answer my question which was; "where in Scripture do you find support for a sub group within a group?" Blessings to you NC |
