Bible Note: Dear ZtheBrerean, A special welcome to the forum! Based on your posts thus far, I am undisguisedly and unqualifiedly delighted by your entrance into our midst! It is always good to find a new participant who demonstrates the kind of sound hermeneutic. I'm also happy to welcome another monergist in the forum. :-) Autosoterism in general, and synergism in particular, are heavily represented in the forum. Few can offer a fully Scriptural foundation for their doctrine. Most hold to their teachings simply because it is all to which they've been exposed. Others can't reconcile their presuppositions with the Scriptures and, lacking a sola Scriptura foundation, allow their values to supercede the Word. There are probably other reasons for their persistence and pervasiveness. Would you be so kind as to contact me directly by email? (You can see my email in my profile.) I hope to humbly share with you a few things I've learned about harmonious SBF forum life, in an effort benefit us all. Again, I'm happy to have you a fellow member of the Study Bible Forum! In Him, Doc |
