Subject: Which proposition is scriptural? |
Bible Note: John, "I don't FIT scripture into my beliefs. I seek to tailor my beliefs to FIT Scripture as God sees FIT to reveal it's meaning to me." I also tailor my beliefs to fit scripture. That is why I have no problem with the scriptures that deal with the "inability of man" to excape. But God has thrown a Life Line in Jesus Christ. If we choose to accept Him, He will pull us to safety. I see from your post to Tim that you do not wish to discuss election just yet. However, I already accept everything in scripture having to do with the depravity of man. So you seem to wonder how I can also believe in choice. Doesn't scripture teach both? Pastor Glenn |
