Bible Question:
NC, You wrote, "before a man can seek God, God must first have sought the man". Doesn't God seek ALL men? (1 Timothy 2:4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.) (The person that I've been talking with believes in single predestination) |
Bible Answer: Huron I believe it is the desire of God that none should perish. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance 2 Pet. 3:9 And I also believe that light is given to each and every person that ever has been born. John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth EVERY MAN that cometh into the world. Next you said that; "The person that I've been talking with believes in single predestination" I'm not sure I understand what you mean by that. However I am aware that there are many who believe in double predestination. Which means they believe that God predestines some people to eternal life, and predestines everyone else to eternal damnation. I personally believe it is God's desire that all be saved, but because many reject the free offer of salvation, they will be eternally damned based on their rejection of God's free gift of eternal life which is in Christ Jesus our Savior.
