Subject: explain the doctrine of predistination |
Bible Note: Dear DocTheo, I was discussing the doctrine of the two wills of God. I intentionally did not state my agreement or disagreement with it, since my objective was to inform. Brother Tim was asserting what others believe. I was correcting those misstatements. You wrote, "Let's not rewrite the statements of others on the forum using our own language to misrepresent what they have already clearly said and by doing accuse them of false teaching. This is unbecoming behavior." (sic) Please point out where I have misrepresented someone. Repeating an idea to another person using our own words is a pretty crucial method to insure effective communication. How else might others know to correct our understanding? In Him, Doc |
