Subject: Romans 10:9: is it too simple? |
Bible Note: Dearest John, You can't have it both ways. Either man has a say in his salvation or it is completely God. The modern idea of a Sovereign God who handpicks some for salvation, others left behind, is completely false. You talk about context and then jump to the book of Acts. Huh? What you believe about the doctrine of election is false and perverts the very idea of an impartial, unbiased God. God extends the hand to every sinner, and it is incumbent upon each to reach up by faith and receive the gift. No other way makes a bit of sense. |
