1 | Dear John: Is it possible? | Eph 2:3 | EdB | 99290 | ||
John If you believe it is preordained for me to believe the way I do and preordained for you to believe the way you do, then we have to believe God is the God of confusion. Because one of us is confused. Now if one of us or both of us have a choice then God is constant and one of us remains confused. You make the call are we preordained to confusion or not? EdB |

2 | Dear John: Is it possible? | Eph 2:3 | John Reformed | 99303 | ||
We differ about these things in this present age because we are still sinners. I'm certain that my knowledge of the Bible is flawed in many ways. Nevertheless, until I am further enlightened by the Holy Spirit, I must stand on the truth which I have been given. We are not foreordained to confusion. But spiritual growth takes place over time. Participation on the forum has been a great help to me and I praise God for you and Hank; Tim and Joe and all the brothers ans sisters with whom I have been priviledged to converse with. It may not appear to be the case to all, but, it has been a humbling experience as well as anything else. I know that the doctrines of grace, which seem to come contiually from yours truly, are a burden for some members. But my love for what I believe to be God's truth compels me. To desist would be like abandoning the gospel itself! I would become a pleaser of men. Of course no one is compelled to pay any attention at all to my posts. It seems strange that those who are the staunchest defenders of "freedom to choose", would deny me my right to discuss that which interests me. Anyway, I still love you all and pray for God's blessing on us all (each and everyone :-) John Ps I've been recieving some inquiries regarding "does all always mean all". Any takers? :-O |

3 | Dear John: Is it possible? | Eph 2:3 | EdB | 99307 | ||
John I understand if you really believe what I believe is preordained what is to discuss. I have no choice other than to believe what I believe and you like wise. So what interests you discussing it? The only thing I can imagine that goes with your line of thinking is you want to gloat. Seems like you have a cookie cutter world. We all do as were preordained, no original thoughts no acts of rebellion, no running a race, just running down the rut set before us. Maybe that is why you like discussing it everything else in your life is so preordained. EdB |

4 | Dear John: Is it possible? | Eph 2:3 | John Reformed | 99318 | ||
Dear Ed, We were created to glorify God. That, in my own poor fashion, is what I am attemting to do. So ignore my sinful tendencies and check the scriptures for errors I might have made. I will only bow to the Word. By the way, the rut you refer to is called in the Bible "The straight and narrow Way". John |

5 | Dear John: Is it possible? | Eph 2:3 | EdB | 99319 | ||
John It is only a rut if you can't get out. If you can chose to get out then it is no longer a rut. As for the bowing to the Bible, proof texting tires me and proves nothing. As I have said many times before I can prove anything using a verse here and one there. Read the whole Bible it is one story after another of man/women choosing to obey or disoby God. Each made a choice and each stood accountable for that choice. EdB |
