Bible Note: Truly excellent post, Tim! It is amazing how closely we Arminians interpret these passages in Romans! You are absolutely right in stating that "Calvinists say that God's purpose according to election is to unconditionally elect certain individuals to salvation. However, this passage never says that." Nowhere can such a meaning in this passage be found if we just interpret this text within the context of the passage. I believe that to come to such a conclusion as "unconditional election" from Romans 9:10-15 is a misinterpretation of Romans 9:10-15. Keep up the excellent studies, my friend! Nolan |
