Bible Note: Greetings Jibbs! Are all men elect? I don't know! Where in Scripture does it specify how many are elect? ;-) How about John 10:14-15? Does this teach that Christ only died for a limited number of people? Suppose I were to say, 'I love everyone on this forum'. Does that mean that I don't love anyone else except for those on this forum? Of course it doesn't! Neither does it mean, when Jesus says that He loves 'you', or that He died for His sheep, that He didn't die for anyone else. It would, if it said I only die for so and so! This is an example of what I mentioned in my last two posts. Scripture never actuallys says what your claiming, but you can cite verses which you interpret to mean what you are saying. However, not everyone buys the intepretation. But, Scripture does specify that Christ died for all men. No interpretation required of that statement! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
