"Please don't make me regret responding to your inquiry. As I said we have both heard it all." EdB Hi Ed, Obviously we have not heard it all :-) Case in Point: "what I abhor is your teaching that God would allow a created being to roast in hell because it was never elected." I have always said that, those who go to Hell, go there because of their sins. And that God would have been perfectly justified to administer His justice upon every single child of Adam. The reformed doctrine says that God chose (for His own reasons) some to recieve mercy and the rest to recieve justice. As The Creator and as the Judge of the Universe, He has every right to do as He has done. If you still say "That my friend does not align with the rest of scripture.", my proof that you are wrong is as follows: Rom 9:16 So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. Rom 9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH." Rom 9:18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. Rom 9:19 You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?" Rom 9:20 On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me like this," will it? Rom 9:21 Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use? Rom 9:22 What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? Rom 9:23 And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, Rom 9:24 even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles. Rom 9:25 As He says also in Hosea, "I WILL CALL THOSE WHO WERE NOT MY PEOPLE, 'MY PEOPLE,' AND HER WHO WAS NOT BELOVED, 'BELOVED.'" Rom 9:26 "AND IT SHALL BE THAT IN THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID TO THEM, 'YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE,' THERE THEY SHALL BE CALLED SONS OF THE LIVING GOD." Rom 9:27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, "THOUGH THE NUMBER OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL BE LIKE THE SAND OF THE SEA, IT IS THE REMNANT THAT WILL BE SAVED; Rom 9:28 FOR THE LORD WILL EXECUTE HIS WORD ON THE EARTH, THOROUGHLY AND QUICKLY." God Bless Ed, John |

John Your the master of proof text, but your message does not agree with the rest of scripture. John 3:16 Jesus died for who ever should believe not just the chosen few. Proof text taken out of context is pretext my friend. Sit down and read the WHOLE Bible not your favorite 88 and see what God said. His desire was that none would perish. Look how He dealt with the patriarchs. He gave them a choice, look how he dealt with people all through the Old Testament. In each case God reached out to man either to be accepted or rejected. Let’s try it this way, who cares which of us is right. If your saved and I’m saved what difference does it make how we got this way? EdB |

The truth To understand the answer to this question, predestination and many other questions we must first understand eternity. This great truth can only be revealed by the Holy Spirit through God's word, but remember eternity means having no beginning and no end. God and Jesus are both eternal and are therefore not bound by time. They answer a prayer today you are going to pray until next week. See the following and think about your own life when you read Rom. 6:23, 1 John 5:11, 1 Cor. 1:30, Col. 3:1, Eph. 2:6, Gal. 2:20 and finally Eph. 1:4., we are called to meditate on the word, reading is not enough. Thanks for the great fellowship. |
