Bible Note: Contrary View................................... Greetings Bill! I read the entire site! Painfully! :-) It is difficult to sum up this man's position, but bascially: Jesus is truth, everything else is opinion. The problem with this is that Scripture makes truth statements. For instance: 1) Jesus is God. 2) Jesus rose from the dead. 3) Jesus was born of a virgin. 4) Jesus died for our sins. If we applied this web sites line of reasoning, it would be nonsense to debate whether or not Jesus actually rose from the dead. One side might say He only appeared to be dead. The other side might say that Jesus actually was dead. But, Jesus is truth and what we are saying is only opinion. Unless you can explain it to me better, I can't go along with this position. While it is true that we are only human, and that sometimes are bias effects our views, the fact remain that Scripture is revealed truth. One plus one cannot equal both two and three. As Joe pointed out (very well, I might add), the differences between Calvinism and Arminianism are great. 1) One view understands that God elects to save certain individuals and leave the rest in their sin. 2) The other view understands that God wants to save all, but the gift must be accepted. The basic difference is not one of semantics, but of intent. Let me know what you think! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
