1 | Who, does the Bible say, are the "elect" | NT general Archive 1 | EdB | 100070 | ||
John Lockman has asked us not discuss this subject and out of my respect for Lockman and my desire to see this forum move on I'm not going to answer your question. There is far more to Christianity than what you or I think elect means. John one more thing how come every time I make a point you can't refute you either choose to ignore it by changing the subject or remaining silent. Yet within days you bring the subject up once more in another thread. To me that doesn't seem like someone that wants to discuss something but rather someone looking for a platform to expound his philosophy. EdB |

Dear Ed, What we have here is a failure to communicate! The term elect is not a theological term; elect is the term used by the writers of Scripture. I offered my definition and asked for yours for a reason. That reason being that is imposible to discuss the meaning of a word if we begin with different definitions. I respect your decision not to participate, but disagree with your reason. "every time I make a point you can't refute you either choose to ignore it by changing the subject or remaining silent" If that is indeed the case I apologize. It annoys me also when members appear to do it to me. What point did I overlook? I promise to try to address it. Some times I just get a bit mixed up :-) Nevertheless I do understand your frustration. I'll try to do better. God Bless, John |

John The meaning of the word "elect" is central in the debate of Calvinism. External to that debate it's meaning has little significance being almost universally accepted as referring to the righteous who are in Christ. Therefore to get to the crux of the matter would require us to debate Calvin’s view and that is exactly what Lockman has asked us not to do. Therefore I’m dropping the subject. EdB |
