Bible Note: Dear Nick, You say, "I am not interested in orthodox interpretations." (sic) That is already clear from your heterodox interpretations. However, you had originally asked, "How can one say that Scripture does not support all being reconciled to God?" (sic) (I'm always assuming -- clearly erroneously -- that people mean what they say and say what they mean.) Hence, you have been kindly proffered answers. Since you are not interested in what the godly Christian scholars, pastors, teachers -- gifted to the church by Christ (Ephesians 4:8-16) -- of the last twenty centuries, I must ask a question: Why in the world bother to ask anything? If you demean all those wise and learned men, do you really esteem so highly what folks like us, on a public Internet forum? Seems highly doubtful. Son, asking a question affecting to be someone seeking knowledge, while in truth having some other agenda, is problematic on two counts: First, it is less than honest. Pressing an argument in ways contrary to the character of our Lord will edify none of us. It serves, at best, to weaken your entire position. Second, it is contrary to the explicit wishes of our gracious host. You see, when you sign up to participate in the forum, you commit yourself to the Terms of Use set forth by Lockman. In Him, Doc |
