Bible Question:
Doc, I forgot to address your response "implies merit." This is the traditional responses (in utmost respect) but since Romans 3 tells us "there is none righteous, no not one," and "none are willing, not even one; Any good calvinist would already know that no matter why God chose whom He did there was not merit period. For years I have tried to resolve the love of God with "eternal hell." It would be much easier to rectify all we know about God's love if there was a scenerio going on (which I know is mere speculation)before the foundations of the world that influenced God choices one way or the other. Have you not ever pondered the Great Love of God (which I know is only for the elect) and the fact that so many souls are doomed (by their own choice) to an everlasting hell? Psalm 25 |
Bible Answer: Dear P25, Yes, I've pondered it. However, since God does not explain it, then it is not necessary for me to think about it. Don't the many doctrines that He does take time to explain warrant our productive attention? There is so much there... and even those I'll never plumb their depths. In Him, Doc |
