Subject: How do I make sense of the context? |
Bible Note: Joe If the Calvin's tulip is right and we are in total depravity, explain to me Mormons, JW, Islam all of these false religions have memebers that realize a need for forgiveness yet are looking in the wrong place. If the are totally depraved how did the come to seek forgiveness? You missed my point of the with the sun and light. I was trying to show how our reasoning is based on only the facts as we know them. When new facts are revealed many times what we believe must be changed. We do not know know or understand the salvation process, we know it to be true, we can rest in the fact that we are saved, but how that process actually took place in out lives is unclear. You say you know that God offered irresistable grace and we naturally accepted. I say I don't think it works like that I think God reveals a need for salvation, offers salvation and we can chose to act or not to act. Again explain mormons in the light of the tulip EdB |
