1 | What does Bible teach on election? | Bible general Archive 1 | GeneralWAS | 549 | ||
Please be very careful here not to just jump into this doctrine. The study of election requires a careful and detailed study of many topics including the sovereignty of God, the fall of man, The work of salvation (man's capabilites, God's will and God's work) before one should even begin to think about election, predestination and free will. I taught a Sunday School class on this. It took a full year to complete. I would be happy to post it here a little at a time, if you would rally like to investigate, or we can work out a way for me to send you the entire set of notes from the class. | ||||||

Thanks for your answer. I agree with you completely. No one should read their favorite 3 verses on election and then jump to a conclusion about the subject of election. It does require careful investigation. . . . Also I thank you for your kind offer to share your notes with me. If you can think of a way to get in touch with each other by email -- without posting our addresses for the whole world to read -- I would appreciate it. This problem has me stumped and I can't think of a solution. Once again, thanks for a well-stated, well-thought-out answer to my question. |

There is a way to do this. The notes to this class are kept on our Church's Website at www.leptondale.org Once there, click on the "Notes" button and then the "Class Notes" button. If you want to e-mail me, click on the "Web Administrator" link. That will let you e-mail me. |

Thanks for the link. I (currently) don't believe in the predestination theory, at least as it's been explained to me, but your notes look well laid out and seem, at first glance, to give an in-depth look at this theory - 97 pages worth. I look forward to reviewing this document to see if my interpretations are faulty or if this is just something that we'll find out in the end. Also, if anyone else wishes to communicate via e-mail and does not wish to post their address, they could setup a "temporary account" at hotmail.com - or similar web-based email systems. That way if this account gets slammed with unwanted e-mails, you just cancel it. |

I didn't always understand it either. It used to make me think of God as harsh. The problem was I was thinking of God as way too small and my sinfulness as way too little. All I recommmend you do is go through it a little at a time. Keep your heart open to the Spirit of God, and let the Scripture speak for itself. You may just find, as I did, that God cannot be kept in a box. He is bigger than I ever dreamed, and his mercy and grace mean far more to me than I ever imagined. Don't rush and enjoy the discovery. Feel free to ask any questions either here or via e-mail. | ||||||

I also followed your link and found your notes very helpful. My husband and I are reformed believers and sometimes it is hard to find lessons to explain the tenets of the reformed view. I hope you don't mind if we use some of your materials in our Sunday School class. By the way, I notices you quoted my former pastor, R.C. Sproul. |

Please feel free to use whatever you like. Much of the material in there is based on R.C. Sproul's book, "Chosen By God". It is an excellent resource. He is one of my favorite authors and theologians. It must have been a blessing to have been pastored by him. | ||||||

It was a great blessing. He is a brilliant man and is truly annointed by God. I learned more in the 18 months that I was member of his church than I have in the 7 that I've been a Christian. It was like receiving a seminary education for free! | ||||||
