Bible Note: Greetings John! I still don't how that explains Calvin's postion on Rom. 11? We all agree that we are born depraved. But, Rom. 11 specifically says that those who were hardened, and not of the elect in v. 7, can be grafted in again. How? To be fair, the Bible doesn't explain very much at all about 'election'. The word only occurs a handful of times, and then usually in contexts describing Christians (who are of course 'elect')! :-) So, I don't think that the position I posted was 'made up' simply to make God fair! I firmly believe that God can do what He wants! He is God after all. But, I also believe that Scripture teaches a 'real' universal offer of salvation. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
