Subject: Predestination question? |
Bible Note: I am tempted to add more scriptures to each one you mention, some which round out the scripture truth yours bring up, and some that go beyond to present a complete picture such as the concept of Blotting out names written in the Book, which presents a whole different idea than what you are attempting to present. I am not saying that this forumn is not the place to post them, I cannot think of a better "forumn" than this one to explore both sides of the issue, since each side has to carefully read the other's and this would contribute to a much more productive form of exchange in an effort to sincerely arrive at a conclusion based on a correct interpretation of the whole counsel of God. However, partly because I think the subject has already been given more attention than it is due in academic circles, and partly because I think the vast majority of saints have already made up their minds on this subject before they ever enter into such debates, I will refrain from any further posts on predestination at this time. Maybe later when I am writing my Bible Study Series on this subject I will post some Scriptures and arguments for why I believe the way I do. Meanwhile.. May God Bless you in your study of His Word |
