Bible Note: Dear Tim, I can't seem to get anything out of what you are saying except universalism. (That 2 Peter 3:9 cog sure is important to your argument. Let's hope that you and Wesley have it right, lest the house of cards all come tumbling down! That's what's tough about building doctrines on linchpin verses.) So, if we discard universalism... as I believe you do -- lets take it as a given since I've never been able to wrap my mind around your argument on this point -- then we are left with the question: Why, then, are some men never saved? In Him, Doc |
