Subject: Is God in absolut contrl over all things |
Bible Note: Dear Sir pent, you stated:"Both Calvinists and Arminians would agree that God has set up the universe so that every person HAS to choose either to love God or reject Him. Not choosing is not an option in either viewpoint. ........................................." Not so. Many people die in infancy or early childhood. Others suffer grave mental or physical handicaps that also cannot choose one way or the other. And what of the millions and millions that have perished before and after the Incarnation who have never even heard the name Jesus Christ? The only way to the Father is through the Son. What of these people. Yes they like allothers have the light of nature to display the evidence of the existence of God. And they also hace the law of God writen on their hearts. The Law does not save! The mere acknowledgement of the existence of a Supreme Being does not save! It is the good news of Jesus Christ that has that power to save. The Gospel and the Gospel alone. Islam is monotheist but to no advantage regarding salvation. Gotta Go, John |
