Bible Note: Greetings John! Of course, I must respectfully disagree. The context of the passage has nothing to do with the Good Shepherd narrative in John 10, since it is a totally seperate occasion as evidenced by John 12:20. Mt. 1:21 probably refers to Israel, so it by no means limits salvation to only some people. Finally, John 10 does not say anything which would rule out those who are not currently His sheep from becoming His sheep. But, I know we will never see eye to eye on this one! :-) I just wanted to make clear that Arminians also believe that fallen man, apart from God's grace, could not respond in faith. We just differ upon whom God extends this grace. I say all, you say some. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
