Subject: Did Uzzah has given chance to repent |
Bible Note: You said, "Everyone is not guarenteed the oppourtunity to repent". How, in your mind, does that square with Acts 17:30? There we are told that "God ... commandeth all men every where to repent". If that verse does not say that everyone has a chance (more than that, a responsibility, to repent) then we may be following a doctrine which says that some people are predestined for hell. If that is the case, then forther reasoning here is pointless and God is partial. It should be said, though, that there are some who believe God is not partial. "For there is no respect of persons with God" (Romans 2:11). "Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons" (Acts 10:34). You are correct in saying that there is no scripture saying "Uzzah had/no chance to repent". But if one recalls that a chance is given to all men everywhere, we can reasonably conclude that that chance had been given to Uzzah. But chances run out. God will not always strive with man. That is why it says, "Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation". And again, "To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts". I wonder if Uzzah passed up his opportunities and prepared instead to argue. |
