Bible Note: It is a doctrinal slant derived from Scripture, which becomes perfectly clear when one divorces oneself from the completely humanistic notion that we have any spark of life in our corrupt souls before the Holy Spirit totally re-makes us! Read my response to his question, and feel free to comment on my post. However, please refrain from questioning the motives of those who hold to divine elction, since it is actually this doctrine that holds the highest, most powerful view of God and firmly places humanity into the category of the Sovereign's creation. On the off-chance that you just may be wrong, I would recommend that you not blaspheme by calling God's divine choice a mere "doctrinal slant." --Joe! |
