Subject: Which proposition is scriptural? |
Bible Note: Greetings John! How about Rom. 11, where we are told that all Israel will be saved? It isn't really my goal to get into a long debate on this point. I have simply contented that you are taking a verse which is not specific, and could refer to Israel, to the elect, or to all creation, and have tried to make it say that Christ only died for some. But, it doesn't say that at all. You are interpreting it as saying that. Yet, when I show you verses which specifically say that Christ died for all, 'all' doesn't mean 'all'. How do you progress in a debate like that? :-) So, I will continue to stand with the clear statements of Scripture that Christ died for all. I simply haven't seen anything that convinces me that I am wrong to do that. But, I still love you my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
