Bible Note: Dear Ed, Q1.)Is grace irrestistable or so desirable no normal person would refuse it. Ans.)Grace is irresistable to whom it is given. God does not give it based on the "normalcy" of an individual but on the basis of election. Rom 8:30 "Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified". Q2.)If people are blind than how did Mormons know enough to seek Jesus? And I'm not forgeting their Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible. Ans.) Unsaved people are not merely blind but are "dead men walking".Eph 2:1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins," Reprobates will worship anything but the true God. They are virtual "idol factories". A question for you: If mormans are not blind then how is it they cannot see that they worship a false christ? John |
