After reading your comments, I feel led to ask you the following questions so as to know how to better respond to some of your comments. So heres the questions. Is a man predestinated by God to salvation because he believes in Christ or is he enabled to believe in Christ because he is predestinated? Do you believe the foreknowledge of God must be considered when discussing His Soveriegnity? |

I am not sure I am saying this right, but here goes ... Just as we in 3 dimentions can see the beginning and ending of a line (2D) and every point (1D) along it, so God can see the beginning and the end, and every choice we make at one glance as it were. That is not to say that every move we make is fixed, but that God can see the full quantum possibilies of every action. Imagine a being of over a thousand dimentions, and then multiply that by another million and we won't begin to know the immensity of God. All we Know is what He has told us. John 20:31 But these are written (recorded) in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of God, and that through believing and cleaving to and trusting and relying upon Him you may have life through (in) His name [through Who He is]. [Ps. 2:7, 12.] |

Dear Meusing, I agree that God's immense intellect and knowledge are beyond our finite minds, however He has an eternal plan and He is working it out with perfection. Through the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit He has revealed a great deal of this plan to His saints. He even has placed within us the desire to grow in our knowledge of Him. He is wonderful beyond words or thoughts. It is for that reason I argue for His soverign reign over His creation. When we more fully understand the wickedness of our sins and the holiness of God , it is then that we appreciate the wonder of His grace. If God had simply cast all of fallen mankind into Hell, He would have been justified in doing so. Some folks think it unfair that He extends His mercy to some and hardens others. I say thank God He has been merciful to any! John Reformed |
