Bible Note: Dear BBQ, Steven, the first Christian martyr, was stoned to death despite the fact that the Scripture describes him as a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit...Acts 6:5. If I understand your theology correctly, Stephen could have been set free and escaped execution if only he had exercised his God given faith. It is also a fact that of all the apostles John alone was not murdered! I cannot bring myself to believe that only one of the twelve had the kind of faith that produced such a miraculous escape from untimely death. Were all but John insufficiently "trained"? I'm sorry my friend, but apart from singling out a handfull of verses (without a word to their context) you fail to convince me of their application to your premise. I believed as you do at a time in my life, and I know where you are coming from. Indeed, had it not been for God's grace, I might still be entrapped in error. It is my prayer that God will grant you grace as well. In the grip of God's grace, John |
