Bible Note: Sorry Joe, forgive me for offending you. Please allow me to explain. First of all, the “scripture weaving” I was referring to, was the attempts of those trying to prove the doctrine of limited atonement. That was what the discussion was about, right? You apparently were “questioning my motives” when you falsely assumed I was speaking of the doctrine of election. I was not. The doctrine of election is clear. The question is what election means; the before knowledge of God, or the before choosing of God. Those with the before choosing viewpoint must, somehow, make the doctrine of limited atonement stick also. I have read all the post, so I will not rehash what has already been said. For me, the scripture evidence to “make it stick”, is not there. Second of all, my choice of the word “slant” was not a good one. This is my fault. Forgive me again. You probably assumed the adjective definition, not the noun definition I meant. Slant as an adjective means “to distort so as to present a particular point of view.” Slant as a noun means “a tendency or inclination toward a particular point of view.” Could your view of limited atonement be defined as “a tendency or inclination toward a particular point of view”? My “slant” of un-limited atonement could certainly be defined as such. Last of all, I forgive you for your accusation of calling me a blasphemer. I feel you thought I was saying something other than what I indicated. Please don’t think I’m saying this in sarcasm. Jesus knows I am not. This is something that is required from me, not you. (Mark 11:25-26). See you in heaven brother! Jesus is Lord! |
