Subject: Where's the line? |
Bible Note: "Freewill" always with the word "offering(s)". Lionstrong: In the NIV the words elect, election, choose, chosen and chose appear 250 times. While not always referring to election for salvation, the majority of the occurences of the words choose or chosen is speaking of God's choosing, not man's. On the other hand the word "freewill" is used 22 times in the entire Bible and always in connection with the word "offering(s)". We must acknowledge a balance between divine sovereignty and human responsibility. For anyone to suggest that man's responsibility and so-called "freewill" somehow outweigh the sovereignty of Almighty God, is to take a foolish and indefensible position. |
