AMPLIFIED 2015 | Proverbs 24:12 If you [claim ignorance and] say, "See, we did not know this," Does He not consider it who weighs and examines the hearts and their motives? And does He not know it who guards your life and keeps your soul? And will He not repay [you and] every man according to his works? |

Bible Note: Greetings Scribe! I would agree with our Calvinistic brothers if it were not for verses like John 12:32: "But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." Our Calvinistic brothers make an excellent point concerning the priority of God in salvation. He takes the initative. He seeks us first. If it were not for His actions, none would be saved. However, I think that they underplay the fact that God desires all to be saved and is actively drawing them to Him. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
