Subject: Why have kids when... |
Bible Note: Andes, Let's review for a moment: Andes: "asked a Calvinist one time... "Do you have Kids?" He said "3". I said "Why would you have kids if God might choose one of them to go to hell?" Do you think a true calvinist would ever have kids, because what if God chose one of them for eternal damnation? Emmaus: "You may as well ask an Armenianist why they would have children if one of them might by free will choose etrnal damnation." Andes: "I believe that if you obey the word, and train up a child in the way he should go he will not depart from it. See what Paul told Timothy in 2 Tim 3:14-15." You seem to have gone beyond Calvin himself in your train of thought Andes, by extending the concept of Assurance of Salvation or "once saved, always saved" to a multi-generational assurance of "once saved, always saved and children once trained up always saved", thereby denying the very idea of free will for properly trained up children that you find lacking in the Calvinist. It does seem rather unlikely you can have your cake and eat it too in this line of reasoning. Emmaus |
