Tim Thanks for the info! Fyi, I opened a thread with the header "Thoughts on Romans 9". Ben (benjamite) and I wanted to discuss the concepts of election and free will. He is seminary trained, and I wanted to get feedback at that level. I know this is a hot topic, but Ben and I have agreed to try and keep the fray civil among all respondents. (I wish there were a way in this forum to have limited group discussions, but dont see how). Anyway, I've read a number of your posts and have appreciated your comments. I thought you might want to join us on this discussion. Any interest? Blessings Curt |

Hi Ben I opened a thread for our discussion. The question is posted with the header "Thoughts on Romans 9". I was trying to avoid a header with "free will or predestined"... lol. I'm sure my question will ultimately throw down the gauntlet for a lively debate, but I couldn't see any way to have a sidebar discussion on this forum. We'll just have to try to keep ourselves and others civil in the process. Oh well... here we go! Blessings Curt |

84 | Thoughts on Romans 9 | Not Specified | Curtnsally | 33496 | ||
Looking for thoughts on this Scripture: Romans 9 1 I speak the truth in Christ--I am not lying, my conscience confirms it in the Holy Spirit-- 2 I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, those of my own race, 4 the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises. 5 Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised![1] Amen. 6 It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. 7 Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham's children. On the contrary, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned." 8 In other words, it is not the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring. 9 For this was how the promise was stated: "At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son." 10 Not only that, but Rebekah's children had one and the same father, our father Isaac. 11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad--in order that God's purpose in election might stand: 12 not by works but by him who calls--she was told, "The older will serve the younger." 13 Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated." 14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15 For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." 16 It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

Tim, thanks! I can't get too far into this now, but we can catch up a bit later... and thanks for the heads up on the Rom 9 thread. In the mean time, I agree that Rom 9:10 is national, not individual... BUT... doesn't it show us something of the character of God? I know you agree that it does, but the difficult question is: WHAT does it show us about the character of God? And, how does this jive with the rest of Scripture? Ahhh. There is a thought provoker for sure! Let's think about it, and catch up soon. Meanwhile, I'll try to read some of the previous posts. Blessings Curt |

. Thanks for the welcome! A brief response, as I am at work. You conclude with the question: should science and Scripture agree? I accept your observation that they often don't because of world view. I disagree that science is not about discovering truth... this in itself is a worldview question regarding the very nature of scientific study. Ie, Why do we do it? I think science "should" be about discovering truth in the physical realm (this is my world view, others may disagree). Science does not, however, address the spiritual realm, and in this regard you are right... it does not rise to the level of Scripture (or even close). BUT that doesn't mean that they should disagree. Your last comment about proving or disproving theology using science is right on. This is a mis-match of types for sure. BUT, I still hold that Scriptural truth and science should agree when they overlap, as God is the author of all. Regarding the PCUSA, I believe that our denomination (particularly in Baltimore where I live) is a mission field. But I can also tell you that, out of the 12,000 churches in the denomination, you would find theological agreement with 11,000 or more. There are a handful of liberals who make difficulties for all. Take a look at our web site (centralpc.org) and you will see we have a great little (conservative evangelical reformed) church. By the way, we are up to 1,100 hits a day on our church web site with the number one page being "How to become a Christian"! Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Blessings Curt |

Let me try again, starting with a dictionary definition: Science: 1a. The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena. b. Such activities restricted to a class of natural phenomena. c. Such activities applied to an object of inquiry or study. The answer to your first question is no, the presence of light is not science. The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of light is science. And that information agrees with Scripture. Scripture further provides that God created the light. This is not in the scientific record. Science records that (most of) the light comes from the sun, the result of nuclear fusion. This is not recorded in Scripture. Is there an intersection of data? Yes. Is there mutually exclusive information? Yes. Is either wrong? No. Do they conflict? Not to me, though others may disagree. Is this concept, in its basic form agreeable with your understanding of Scripture and science? Your second question requires a lot of text. Let me do an end-around, if I might. I attended a lecture by Roger Rusk, highly regarded prof emeritus of physics at the Univ of Tennessee (brother of former Sec State Dean Rusk, if you remember the 60's). He was a solid reformed Christian a well known scientist who had dedicated his retirement years to reconciling science and Scripture. His lecture (3 hours worth) regarded the geophysical evidence in the scientific record that supported the flood story as recorded in Scripture. It was incredible, but I could begin to do it justice here. However, based on that and other study since, I have no problem accepting the flood story as you quoted it from Scripture, and I believe that scientific evidence (insofar as we have it) supports that description. I realize that scientists do not often support Scripture with their conclusions, but this is often as much due to their world view which significantly impacts their conclusion. An example... Here is how the National Center for Science Education describes their mission: "We are a nationally-recognized clearinghouse for information and advice to keep evolution in the science classroom and "scientific creationism" out." (ref http://www.natcenscied.org/). This sounds a lot more political than scientific. Let me ask you a question... do I read between the lines that you don't think Scripture and science should agree? Why or why not? |

Brother Zach I dont know if you have been following some of the other discussions on free will, but let me muddy things up a bit. Consider these verses: Romans 9 9 For this was how the promise was stated: "At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son." 10 Not only that, but Rebekah's children had one and the same father, our father Isaac. Watch this... 11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad--in order that God's purpose in election might stand: 12 not by works but by him who calls--she was told, "The older will serve the younger." 13 Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated." 14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15 For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." 16 It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. Seems to say that Esau did not self-select. or this... Romans 8 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. Seems to say that we could not make the right choice without intercession by the Spirit. or this... Romans 11 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. 27 And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins." 28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, 29 for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable. Seems to say God will save ALL of Israel in spite of their bad free-will choice, based on His election and promise to Abraham et al. If the concept of "unequal grace" seems unfair, read Matthew 20:1-15. Scripture to think on... your thoughts? Blessings Curt |

Thanks Robert for your patience and time. I am not sure I can agree with the dispensation view, but you have done it justice. For now, in my feeble brain, it remains juxtaposed with the predestination view which is obviously a struggle as well. There is likely truth in both views, and this is what I have been seeking to understand. Not there yet! What I do know is that God has provided a means of salvation for you and me. The Glory belongs to Him, whether or not we understand the how and why. Amen? Amen! Blessings Curt |

Blessings! With all due respect, I think your answer is a bit too simplistic. Consider this verse: Romans 9 9 For this was how the promise was stated: "At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son." 10 Not only that, but Rebekah's children had one and the same father, our father Isaac.

I agree with most of what you have said. Let me respond to a couple... (and please understand that I don't necessarily hold all of these as personal beliefs, but I am postulating for the sake of debate): You: "The commission of our saviour in Mark 16:15 "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." is still valid today. Even a Calvinist cannot pick out those who are chosen and those who are not." Me: I agree that God has invited us to be part of His purposes. This alone does not deny that the people we encounter may be part of the "elect". You are right, we can't pick out the elect, thus we are called to go to the ends of the earth spreading the Gospel. But this doesn't mean that God doesn't have them picked out. You: "I understand the theory of 5 point Calvinism. I have difficulty reconciling this theory with free choice." Me: While free choice seems right to us, I can find many more Scriptures regarding "the elect, predestined, chosen" etc than I can on "free will". You: "However, he will not go back on his word now." Me: I agree, God doesn't go back on His word. In fact, listen to the Scripture: Romans 11 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. 27 And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins." 28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, 29 for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable. This seems to say that, in spite of the hardness of Israel, God will save them because He promised... they were numbered among the elect based on God's promise alone... seemingly in spite of their bad free-will choice. And then there is this... Romans 9 9 For this was how the promise was stated: "At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son." 10 Not only that, but Rebekah's children had one and the same father, our father Isaac. (A very interesting verse!): 11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad--in order that God's purpose in election might stand: 12 not by works but by him who calls--she was told, "The older will serve the younger." 13 Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated." 14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15 For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." 16 It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. This seems to say that salvation is based solely on God's sovereignty, not our actions. Or this... Romans 8 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. This seems to say that even what is in our heart comes from the Spirit and, without the intercession of the Spirit, we would be lost. I understand and struggle as you do with the "robot problem". But I also want to submit myself to God's sovereignty. In the final analysis, it is His way, not the way I wish it was (whether elect or free will). Finally, I don't think that the Great Commission and election are necessarily mutually exclusive. God can use us to accomplish His purposes, even if His purposes are pre-known to Him. Otherwise, I think I'll let those verses stand on their own for a while. Blessings! Curt |

My first reaction to your question is: Oh my! There are so many!" Yet, with reflection, you ask a good question. I think we must start with a few definitions. First, I believe Scripture is primarily the history of God's relationship with man. Contained within this history is other information (like the creation account). Second, I believe that science is the study of the physical world... man's observation of things around him and subsequent conclusions about the nature of physical things. Now, let me give an example of science and Scripture matching. First, a simple one: God said, "Let there be light, and there was light". When we look around, there is light! Science and Scripture are in harmony. Science does not address the "God" issue, only the observation of light. Scripture addresses both. Nevertheless, they are in unity. A more complex example might be the flood story. There is considerable extra-Biblical evidence of a significant flood, both in the historic record as well as the world of geophysical observation and study. Often the difficulty in understanding the unity of science and Scripture lies not in the observation of data, but in the conclusions drawn from that data. The world view of the observer nearly always has a strong influence on the conclusions drawn. For example, if you look at the website of the National Center for Science Education, (http://www.natcenscied.org), their purpose is stated as follows: "We are a nationally-recognized clearinghouse for information and advice to keep evolution in the science classroom and "scientific creationism" out." Does this sound like science, or politics based on a particular world view? I think we as Christians must be keepers of the "whole truth", Scripture plus science... that science and theology should be able to coexist as one Truth from God. He did, after all, create the physical world. Did I answer your question? His, Curt |

An excellent response! With such a lengthy and thoughtful exposition, I bet you thought I would thank you and move on. Well, I do feel a little hesitant asking another series of questions, but no one ever accused me of shyness. Tell me to get lost if you want, but here goes! Outside of God's grace, is there anyone worthy of salvation? (I assume you agree the answer is "no") So God, in His infinite justice could opt to save no one and still be just. (agree or disagree?) It is only out of God's love and mercy that He saves anyone. (agree/disagree?) He could choose to save some and not others? (yes/no?) This would be just? Does the parable in Matthew 20:1-15 address this? What are the implications of this Scripture in terms of the "doctrine of election"? Are all elect or just some... are all chosen or just some? Are all predestined... etc? Does God choose, then we choose? Or does God just choose? Thoughts? That I might not be deemed lazy, I will attempt to postulate answers to these questions myself but wanted to hear your view first. I will hint that I believe God predestined us, He calls us, and that even our response to Him is the result of His grace... that we could not respond affirmatively if He had not opened our eyes and prepared our hearts. PS, would it surprise you to know I am Presbyterian? ... lol. My purpose is not, however, to win converts to Calvinism, (Lord knows, I am not the guy to do that!) but to debate with other respected Christians to gain an increased understanding of Scripture. Thanks for your insight! Curt |

Hank Thanks for the support. The site, by the way is: www.icr.ORG For others out there, let me clarify my view of creation and evolution. Darwin in Origin of Species said: "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down." I believe this is the best argument against the Darwinian "creation through evolution" that permeates our pop culture and correlative "pop science". People, including scientists, tend to establish their core beliefs and then use science to support them. The reality is that science is showing many organs which could not evolve into being. The eye is one most commonly considered... how could the eye begin to develop if an organism could not perceive light? And, if there was by some quirk a "spontaneous" development of an optic nerve, how would this lead to the evolutionary development of a lense? Can an organism detect the need for focus in the absense of focus? Would the lense not have to appear fully developed in order to be useful under natural selection? There are many more examples of "irreducibly complex systems" in biology. By Darwin's own measure, continuing scientific research is "breaking down" his theory of "creation by evolution". These troubling questions for the "creation through evolution" scientists are on the table, and the silence of research on this topic has been deafening. Further evidence in the fossil record shows evolution at the micro level "within species or groups" but is lacking evidence of evolution at the macro level ("pond scum to man"). Given the long history of fossils collected, there is no explanation of this short of creation at the species level. Finally, for Christians, we need to be vigilent about science, not hiding from it. God, who created all that is, is the author of all truth. Science and theology must match. When they don't, we should lead the charge to find out why, and not leave it to atheists who redefine science to support their a-theology. We have nothing to fear from science, and no reason to disavow obvious scientific truth. Our goal is to debunk faulty conclusions drawn from valid observations. Our witness to the world is to be the "Daniel" of our time... to explain truths of physical world in light of the truths of the spiritual world. Truth is truth, and God is the author of all truth. Amen! Thanks again Hank Curt |

99 | Did Satan know God's plan for salvation | Bible general Archive 1 | Curtnsally | 33369 | ||
A brief response, point by point (* is me): --------------- Can Satan see inside God? * Not sure, but Satan certainly knows who God is. If Satan knew of all this, why provoke God if he knew he was doomed to the Lake of fire? * Possibly, for the same reason that we sin, even though we know there is a judgment. If he didn't realize this before he got kicked out of Heaven, then when did he figure it out? * Seems to me that Satan was kicked out for knowing and not believing... or knowing and not worshiping God. Was it when God told him that the woman's seed would bruise his head? * 1John3:8 "He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the BEGINNING. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work." What then is sin? Knowing and not believing? Or not knowing at all? Why have Jesus crucified if Satan knew that Jesus would rise from the grave triumphantly and ascend into Heaven? * This is a convincing question, but one could also ask why Satan has done all that he has since the resurrection if he now knows the consequences. You think Satan understood what Jesus meant by destroying the temple and rebuilding it in 3 days? * Not sure, but I would lean toward yes. Again, if he knew, then why crucify him? * See above. According to 1 Cor 2:8... none of the rulers of this age knew. I think this weighs much more in favor of Satan not knowing. * I don't follow your reasoning. Why does the knowledge of rulers bear on Satan's knowledge? One could say that rulers today don't understand either. Does this mean Satan still doesn't know? Why not a different death to disrupt the plan of salvation and maybe just stone him to death? * I can't explain Satan's choices, but clearly he has made wrong choices many times. Satan thought he HAD Jesus when he died. * This is interesting, and as a Christian, I would like to believe this, as there is a certain poetic justice in it. The difficulty I have is in letting Satan off the hook by saying that he really didn't know what he was doing. I think Satan knew, but I'm not sure how much he knew. Certainly, he knew enough to be held accountable. I reiterate my earlier point... Is it possible that Satan had intellectual knowledge, but that his fallenness was in his failure to worship God? ------------------ Well.... all right already... enough about Satan! Let's worship God who will cast Satan into the lake of fire! Praise God for His grace and mercy toward us! Blessings Curt |

Certainly man has evolved. One has only to look at the height of people now versus colonial times to see this. A quick tour of New England will show most colonial homes had six foot high ceilings... a little short for your average American these days. I could certainly believe that God created everything fully formed, in fact, that is what I believe. But there is ample evidence in the world to show that things have not stayed static. Things have changed. Does this conflict with Scripture? Not that I can find. No one is stating that we should bend Scripture. But there are times when our understanding of Scripture is wrong. This is not a flaw in Scripture, but a flaw in ourselves... our understanding. Or maybe you think the world really is flat, and the earth is the center of the universe? This was commonly held and Scripturally defended for centuries. My point is this, we should not assume that our theological understanding is perfect, nor our scientific understanding. But God created the universe, and the truth of Scripture and science of the universe must match. As Christians, I believe we should be about the business of showing how they do match. This is one way we can be a witness for Christ who is the author of all that is. On your side Curt |
