Subject: Which proposition is scriptural? |
Bible Note: Greetings John! Well, if you want to stick to the original point, I'm still waiting for that verse that says, 'Christ did not die for all men'! ;-) If I might add a personal note, doesn't it strike you as a bit odd that all the verses which I provided which say that Christ died for all cannot be Biblically true, but the statement that 'regeneration precedes faith' is Biblically true even though not one verse actually says that? In all honesty, this is the one thing I have found disappointing about this whole debate. I have made statements like 'Christ died for all men' and have actually provided Scriptures which say exactly what I said, but I'm wrong! ;-) But, the assumptions of Calvinism are Biblical truth, even though not one Scripture actually states these assumptions! :-( How does one come to a conclusion in such a debate?
