Bible Note: I agree with you here: "He will judge all men according to the same standard." "The offer to drink of the living water is to whosoever will." "As many as received...He gave the right to become children of God." My point about the "respecter of persons" was that the verses which use that term do not speak of God giving everyone the opportunity to be saved. While arguments are obviously made that He does give everyone the opportunity, the "respecter of persons" line is used out of its context in such arguments. Kind of like people trying to explain away God's perfect and holy wrath as not REALLY being wrath because "God is love." --Joe! |
