Subject: Hebrews 6:6 explained |
Bible Note: Greetings John! Thanks for your patient responses, but we are back to the same thing it always comes to in the C and A debate. 'All' never means 'all'. 'World' never means 'world'. But, inferences based upon Calvinism lead us to "...I think it can be reasonably deduced that His choosing of Jacob and His not dealing with any other nation proves (by default) His rejection of all other nations." Yet, there isn't a single Scripture which says this! It is an assumption. Concerning John 12:32, there simply isn't anything in the verse to justify making 'all' mean 'all kinds of people - Jewish or Gentile', other than the dictates of Calvinism. We have both lain out our cases for all to see. I guess that will have to suffice! I am thankful for your witness and friendship, and I eagerly await the day when we will actually agree in post! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
