Subject: Is God really just? |
Bible Note: Lionstrong Again I do not know how God will handle people that never heard the gospel. Hoiwever Romans does tell us nature even confesses there is a God and implies God has this handled. Let's get back to the point. If I'm hearing you right your saying justice is served because the price of sin has been paid either by Christ at the cross or by the sinner at the judgement seat. I will agree with that. Explain once more how only offering salvation through Christ to some is just for all. If you happen to be one that didn't have Christ offered to you I think as you stood before the judgement seat you might ask "why wasn't He offered to me?" How salvation works is a wonder. Each time I witness a new salvation I'm thrilled as to how it did happen. I usually try to interview the new convert and without fail their story shows a wonderful miracle of God has just taken place. After having done this for a number of years, of this I’m sure. The explanations offered by either Calvin or Armianus fall far short of what took place. Each time two thoughts come to the surface, “I don’t know why” but “I had to make the choice”. I see salvation a combination of election and free choice . That said, for God to be just I see the need to offer salvation to all not just the elect. EdB |
