1 | Receive? | 1 John 2:2 | Morant61 | 6650 | ||
Greeting Orthodoxy! 1) There are two problems with your first paragraph. First of all, Rom. 5:15-17 specifically state that the two are not exactly parallel. Secondly, you never even attempted to deal with the word 'receive.' V. 17 specifically says that it applies only to those who receive it. 2) I think I dealt with this question in another post (I'm not sure it was in response to you though.) I see the atonement as uncondition, whil election is conditioned upon our acceptance. 3) Or, there is a third option. God offers salvation, not willing that any should perish. I've got to go to work now! God Bless, Tim Moran |

What does this verse mean to you, Tim, and can you see application in your argument that man does always have a freewill? 1 Cor. 14:32 (NASB) and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; Notice they are not subject to God. Elseware it is seen where men can fall away. Fall away from what? After becoming what? Ken |

Greetings Ken! I'm not sure of the meaning of your questions my friend! I believe in 'free will'! :-) I also believe that a person can willfully reject salvation! If I have misunderstood your point, please clarify! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

I'm with you on your position, this one anyway...:0)) You a Nazarene and me a Pentecostal, I'm sure we could come up with a difference of opinion here and there. But no, your responses have been excellent, more than I would have thought of. The verse I offered I remember from my experiences in the Holy Spirit and the ability we have in quenching Him thus "Thwarting" His purpose for the moment or messing up some specific opportunity by not responding to His urgings. I know that to be real not only in my own life but the lives of others who have been there. If the Spirit is subject to the prophet [1Cor.14.37] that means the prophet has the mind of God and but has option NOT to speak it. Of course there are reasons why one wouldn't. See Balaam and the donkey. I don't wish to resurrect the thread but suffice to say it's a "freewill" thing through and through. Can't be any other way and call it God's love. Regards, Ken |
