Subject: Is God in absolut contrl over all things |
Bible Note: Dear Sir Pent, You said: "I fail to see the relevance. I’ll grant that from your perspective those verses say that God excersizes complete control over the salvation of each individual. However, that doesn’t say anything about whether God would still be in control if He chose not to excersize that control at all times." Analogys are fine and can also be helpfull in providing word pictures that illustrate Biblical truth. But we must begin by finding those verses that support the use of any particlar analogy. As I understand it, your proposition is founded on mere speculation. At least until a suitable verse or passage is found to support it's use in the first place. I do not say this to be difficult or to avoid answering. It is rather because it can go nowhere and prove nothing. You have granted that, at least fom my perspective, the Bible may indicate God's absolute control over all things. What I am interested in is what do those verse say from your perspective. John |
