Bible Note: Dear disciplerami, "Hence the fatalism of Calvinism." If this interpretation were true, there would be no such thing as a human demonstation of agape love, faith, hope. We would be mere puppets of God, manipulated to appear loving, faithful, hopeful. And the Gospel would not be powerful, it would be powerless words." Friend, I merely pointed out that the meaning of "has made" is "appointed". I would have hoped that ,rather than casting aspertions on my theology, you address the meaning text itself. It really does not matter what we think the verse should say. What the actual meaning of the passage is should be our mutual concern. As to the charge of calvinism being "fatalism", I disagree. But that is neither here nor there, and is irrelavent to topic in view. I suggest we set aside our theological traditions and approach the Scriptire with fresh eyes (as if reading them for the first time). I realize that this is not possible unless the Spirit of God grant us this perspective. Therefore, I suggest we pray for one another. I don't want our communications to be used by the enemy to foster division between us. Given the context, Rom 5:19 "For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous." seems to be an explanation of the preceeding verse: "So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men." Do you agree? John Reformed |
