Subject: Did Jesus die _only_ for the elect |
Bible Note: Repost from 07-29-01 The following re-post still applies to whoever elects to re-animate a subject of recent long and bitter debate. (originally written to proorizo): I welcome you to the Forum. What follows is no criticism of you, sir. I am merely pointing out the dissension and unending debate the question of election has already caused in the past. On this Forum in the recent past, Calvinism vs. Arminianism has been the subject of a long, bitter debate that left people with hard feelings. I think it very unwise, counterproductive and risky to start up again on what is now a very tired and tiresome debate. There is no need for everybody to go back over all the arguments for each side. We have really had enough of this quarrel. So for the sake of maintaining peace and avoiding hard feelings, I feel it would be better if everyone just dropped the subject. Well over 100 questions and answers have been posted regarding Calvinism vs. Arminianism. --JVH0212 "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity." |
