Bible Question:
Hank, I hate picking on just one statement that you made, but this one just looks strange. Where does this statement come from? "The doctrine of grace does teach that certain ones will be saved regardless of their own attitudes and responses. " If it is true then does that include "attitudes and responses" towards Christ? God Bless, Pastor Glenn |
Bible Answer: Pastor Glenn, a hearty hello, and an equally hearty thanks for pointing out a horrible error of omission of a key word, and the word was "not." ..... The statement in my former post which reads, "The doctrine of grace does teach that certain ones will be saved regardless of their own attitudes and responses" should read, "The doctrine of grace does NOT teach that certain ones will be saved regardless of their own attitudes and responses.".... Pastor Glenn, try as I may to proof-read posts before submitting them, now and then a big blooper gets by, and this was a whopper dopper super blooper! I do appreciate your catching it and pointing it out, thus affording me the opportunity to correct it. Thanks again, brother. You have rendered me -- and the forum -- a great service. --Hank |
