Bible Note: John Reformed: Why appeal to me to show whether you have met the requirements to be a hyper-Calvinist as laid down by Phil Johnson whom you quoted in your post? Why me, who by your own assessment of me, am ignorant of what constitutes hyper-Calvinism? Why do you seek out an ignorant man such as I to correct you? And why should I, whether ignorant or learned, mull through all your posts and cite the number of posts wherein you affirm that the gospel call is not to all but to the elect, that John 3:16 does not mean that God loved the world but only the elect of the world, that Christ died not for all men but for the chosen few, that the last appeal of the Bible in the last chapter of Revelation does not mean whosoever will may come but pertains to the elect, etc., etc., etc. -- why should I go to this trouble? It would do no more than spark another debate about what "all" means and what "whosoever will" means, and about what Scripture "seems to say" as opposed to what it clearly says. Thanks for the offer, John, but no, thanks. I'll just blunder on in my ignorance, a simpleton who believes, as I always have, that God loved the world so much that He have his unique and one-of-a-kind Son that WHOEVER believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and that John's final call to come to Christ in Revelation is meant for WHOSOEVER will. --Hank |
