Subject: Is Salvation lump sum? |
Bible Note: Hi, Doc. So sorry, you're in bed. Hope you get well soon. Thanks anyway for the answer from Rev. John Samson. He can really move mountains, by context. The Bible says that God "desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 2:4 NASB) Rev. Samson said: "God desires all kinds of people - even kings (or Emperors like Caesar) and the elite in society - people of every kind, to be saved." Please note: "people of every kind", NOT people from every kind. 1 Tim 4:10 (NASB) - "For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe." This verse says God is the Saviour of all men, which we could contextually render as "God is the Saviour of all [kinds of] men", as Rev. Samson instructs. One of these kinds as shown in verse 10 is "those that believe." The other kind is obvious: "those that don't believe." Now, contextually analyzing the verse, since God is the Saviour of all kinds of men, therefore, He is the Saviour of "those who believe" and also the "Saviour" of "those who don't believe." Question: If God did not save "those who don't believe", how can God be their Saviour? |
