Bible Note: Joe, being a self-proclaimed "mere Christian" and constitutionally shy about immersing more than a toe, and then only tentatively, into the deep waters of High Theology, I find myself easily in agreement with some of your views of the Reformed faith and equally as easily out of agreement with some of the others, and as often as not without in either case quite knowing why. I consider it not to be a key issue of salvation whether one sides with the Reformed or the Armenian views on election. Either communion can, and does, summon up an impressive body of Scripture to use in the defense of its stand on the issue. I've heard it argued that the Bible does, in fact, teach both views. Perhaps it does, but I am pitifully unqualified to make that call. I think, Joe, and please do not feel offended, that the subject, having had a most generous share of the lime-light, might have its cause served better if, at least for a season, it were allowed repose within the memory banks of the forum. Perhaps it may be my attention deficit disorder that prohibts my being able to focus so long and with continued rapt interest and zeal on this topic. You bring to this forum an enviably high level of solid biblical scholarship and I assuredly make neither an effort to discredit you nor to thwart in any way your continued fine contributions to it. I'm simply asking you to consider, for a season at least, a slight shift of focus to other topics. Yours in Christ Jesus, Hank. |
