1 | Who Does God Draw? | 1 Tim 3:1 | bjanko | 13497 | ||
TIM If as Calvinism teaches, only those who are drawn can accept the gift of salvation, then John 12:32 destroys the foundations of Calvinistic thought since everyone is drawn. From my perspective, this makes perfect sense. Christ died for all. He desires that all be saved. He offers salvation to all. He draws all. But, the benefits of salvation only apply to those who accept the gift. BJANKO If God desires all to be saved -- and some are not saved -- then God is impotent to save those whom He chooses. Your philosophy is a glorification of man's will, not God's sovreignty. It is a pagan philosophy, unscriptural to the core. You need to interpret all verses in light of the Bible ALONE, and not man's philosphies, and also in light of ALL OF THE BIBLE. Your interpretation's are misinterpretations because they do not consider the context of the ENTIRE BIBLE. Arminianism and Scripture are incompatible. |

Greeting Bjanko! My brother, I have many friends on this forum who are Calvinists. I respect their opinions because they will honestly deal with Scripture and share why they believe what they believe. However, you have failed to even attempt to deal with the Scripture that I asked you about. Here is the problem. John 12:32 says, using the same word that John 6:44 uses, that Christ will "draw" all men. This isn't my opinion or my philosophy. It is a clear statement of Scripture. So, I ask again: How does this verse fit with your philosophy? It would be nice if you would even attempt an answer. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim, I have no desire to attempt an answer. You are an Arminian and the philosophy of Arminius is a man-made one, not a Scriptural one. I believe in the Bible; I do not give a hoot about Calvin or Arminius. |
