Bible Note: Dear Ed, Yes, the 5 percent is significant. However, Reformed folks do not deny the freedom of the will. Did you see the phrase "nor is violence offered to the [free] will of the creature" in my citation of the 1689 LBCF? We do not believe in fatalism or determinism. We believe that God Himself repairs the believer's will such that he is enabled to choose God. That distinction makes a whole world of difference. Regardless of our 5 percent... I am sincerely glad that you are here in the forum. I am always grateful when you answer the 95 percent so succinctly. Being very frank, here, over the last year or so I have learned to embrace you as brother, thank the Lord for your ministry, and become gladdened by your participation in the forum. I am now of the opinion that our distinctives provide a more balanced response to forum questions... and that without qualification. God bless you, Ed! In Him, Doc |
