1 | Will unbelievers be raised from Sheol? | Rev 21:8 | Curtnsally | 31807 | ||
Hank Thanks for your note, and kind comment. I think we (you/me/Ed) are on the same page, and I don't disagree with your last comment about the inseparability of the Trinity. One could reverse your theory, though, by saying that belief in any part of the Trinity constitutes a belief in all (particularly if there is no knowledge of the Trinity). I wonder if the real question is whether or not God reveals the nature of the Trinity to every person... of just the existence of God??? Of course, we're treading on the end of the speculation continuum when we get this far out! Clearly anyone who denies Christ or the Holy Spirit denies God. But for the ignorant heathen who has no knowledge of the Trinity, or for the person who lived in OT times before the revelation of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, is not faith in the One God sufficient? Scripture, I believe, says yes. I'm not a universalist nor unitarian, believe me, but I do believe Scripture leaves room for God to save whom He chooses. We just can't comprehend His maginitude. Being a good Presbyterian, we could really juice up the discussion by weighing the Scriptures on "free will" versus "election" ... Cheers! Curt |

2 | Will unbelievers be raised from Sheol? | Rev 21:8 | Hank | 31811 | ||
Curtnsally, I fully recognize that you are new to the forum and thus may be (blissfully, may I say?) unaware that the issue of election vs. free will has been, as you put it, "juiced up" already to such a magnitude that the juice therof nearly drowned us all at one point, and we flounder still in the somewhat subsiding flow. Had you been around during the peak of the storm, you might have thought, as some of us did, that it was a re-enactment of Noah's flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah blended into one epic drama :-) --Hank | ||||||
