Bible Note: Doc said: "According to the apostle Paul, God 'works all things according to the counsel of His will' (Ephesians 1:11). Paul said all things; not some things or even most things but all things." This is one of the few times I have ever seen someone of the Reformed faith say that "all" really does mean "all" and not some. Doc; I hope you are consistant and believe "all" in each of the following verses means "all" and not some. John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself. 1 Ti 2:4 who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Tim 2:6 who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times; 1 Tim 4:10 For to this end we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of them that believe. Tit 2:11 For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men P.S. before you ask, no I am not a universalist theologically speaking. Let me close with this quote from an Early Reformer named Zanchi. "God doesn't decree which individuals will be saved, but rather decrees what sort of individuals will be saved, namely believers in Christ Jesus." Yours in Christ NC |
