Subject: Is there middle ground? |
Bible Note: I'm sorry Ed, you apparently don't know what the problem is. You wrote, "You say that C and A believers can't both be wrong. Why not?" Reformed believers teach that the plan of God includes EVERYTHING that happens. My Arminian brethren say no, it's only some things. Ed, where is the middle ground between all and some? And if they are both wrong, then NOTHING happens according to God's plan. ....... You write, "Couldn't either be to far to the left and the other to far to right and the truth lies in the middle?" No, Ed. There's nothing to the right of "all," and the only thing to the left of "some" is "none." And there is no middle between "all" and "some." If there is, tell me. What is in the middle of God has planned all and God has planned only some? Don't throw away reason in order to reconcile our two camps! Truth is more important than brotherly harmony. When Jesus comes, you'll see who was true to God's Word, but in the meantime, maintain and continue to find biblical support for your convictions. ......... We both agree that the Word of God is truth. By the grace of God we can be thankful that we have that! But in the sovereign plan of God he has ordained that intellectual weaknesses caused by sin to remain. This is why there are differences of opinion among true believers in Christ. But I think that it is to the glory of God that by the power of the Spirit of Jesus that we continue to love each other even as we explore each others' differences and by his grace begin to become one mind on more and more things before Christ comes. ..
