Subject: i want a in depth answer on romans 8:28 |
Bible Note: You wrote: "The Bible does say that God wishes than none shall perish, but for all to have everlasting life (John 3:16)." That isn't what John 3:16 says. You wrote: "So we were created in hopes that everyone would go to Heaven, unfortunately, not everyone actually does" What about Pharoah in Romans 9? Why was he raised up, according to Paul? Do you really think God is "crossing his fingers" that everyone will believe? You wrote: "In that respect, yes, we are all called to live eternally with God." Have you read the following verse (Romans 8:29)? Does it say that we are ALL called? A very specific group is effectually called: those who are foreknown and predestined to be justified and glorified. Verse 28 says that those who are called according to His purpose are the ones who love God. Those who hate God are obviously not called according to these two verses, because they are not justified, nor will they be glorified. --Joe! |
