Subject: Basis of election and predestination? |
Bible Note: Greetings New Creature! I would highly recommend not pursuing this particular topic. From long experience, I know that both sides of this issue are pretty set on their positions and no amount of discussion will change either side. :-) I would recommend two good books on this topic though: "Life in the Son" and "Elect in the Son" by Robert Shank. He does an excellent, and through, study on election from the perspective of one who used to be Calvinistic, but was convinced otherwise. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
