Bible Note: Hi Barabbas, I guess in my previous post to you I neglected to convey my point. I wasn’t suggesting that what you said was wrong with regards to God calling us to himself. I don’t “feel” that God calls us to himself, I “know” for a fact that God calls us to himself. Romans 8:29-30 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. [30] Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. I am saying that it isn’t right just because “I feel it”; it’s “fact” because “God proclaims it”, in his Word. Oh well, I think we are on the same page. By the way, how did you arrive at the name Barabbas as your forum name? Mark 15:7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. John 18:40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber. ----- While suppressing an uprising in Jerusalem, the Roman authorities had arrested Barabbas (from Bar Abba, “son of the father”), a notorious freedom fighter, robber (John 18:40), and murderer, along with other insurrectionists. He may have been a Zealot, a nationalist who stirred up opposition against Rome. Now he was awaiting execution. ------ Bible Knowledge Commentary ------ No connection I surmise, just kidding, CDBJ |
