Subject: Which proposition is scriptural? |
Bible Note: I appreciate your desire to speak the truth in love and likewise wish to do so in all my conversations about our faith. I respond to your comments: "Contradiction" has a very specific meaning, i.e. to negate or oppose. If you are right, the opposite of my statements should be true. That is: 1. God does NOT give us freedom to choose NOR the ability to walk. 2. We NEVER come to a door that leads to Him. 3. We CAN open that door and He does NOT open it for us. and 4. Our choice to be with Him CANNOT be meaningful and that choice is NOT genuinely ours to make. I don't see how the verses you cite support these statements and I don't see any other places where the bible teaches them. Please explain. Parable. |
