Bible Note: That is not what the text says here, Nolan. Show me where Jeremiah HAD to cooperate with the Holy Spirit. Did King Saul cooperate with the Holy Spirit in 1 Samuel? In any case, the Old Testament prophets were by and large different from the NT believers, because, except for a few cases, they were not indwelt by the Holy Spirit, but rather He came upon them to accomplish His purposes. In the case of Jonah, when he was chosen, did he cooperate? Then why was he still a preacher to the Ninevites? God surely respected his "free will," right? ;) You believe in a very weak God, Nolan, if He can say something like he does to Jeremiah in 1:5 and then be thwarted by his creation. There is no "maybe" to God's plan. In your view, if everyone who is a believer suddenly decided to stop evangelizing, the church would DIE OUT! Don't you see the logical conclusions of having such an elevated view of mankind, one that Scripture does not support? --Joe! |
