Bible Note: Hi Doc, Thanks for your reply and also for your kind welcome to this Forum. I regret my delay in replying - being a newcomer, I'm still finding my way around. Glad to know that we’re on the same wave-length in respect of Predestination. It hasn’t always been that way for me; usually the opposite. [smile]. Thanks too for the Don Fortner excerpt which I've filed away for future reference and also appreciation. I've found John Owen, the 17th. Century English Puritan to be a great help in understanding the truths and practicalities of Christ’s Atonement; are you acquainted with his writings; e.g. “The Death of Death in the Death of Christ”? Looking forward to sharing with you in the Scriptures, Regards and thanks, Michael |
