Subject: Romans 10:9: is it too simple? |
Bible Note: Of course, God offers the plan of salvation and salvation is thus of God. But man does have a "say" about it, that is, he can accept or reject God's plan of salvation. He can obey the gospel or spurn it. I don't accept any such doctrine as irresistible grace. Thus I don't view your post as being unreasonable or unscriptural at all; in fact, I tend to agree with it. [And, incidentally, as an aside to Calvinists, please don't bother to attack my post and show me wherein I'm so off base. I've heard your arguments time and time again and choose not to debate the issue. You may rebut if you wish, but I will not respond.] --Hank |
