Subject: Election |
Bible Note: Hi Doc, What I understand Romans 11:7 to be speaking, and (Tim can correct me if I am wrong) that Tim was saying, is that while some of Israel is said to be the elect, and the others of Israel to be hardened, how could they, that is, the hardened be later grafted in, if they were not of the elect? I do not think that this is a false dilemna. If the elect is a group of people whose number does not change, having been preset from the beginning of the age, how can any who are not of the elect become the elect, by being grafted in? Again, I believe that the Bible teaches both man's choice and God's election. We can't ignore one or the other. Love in Christ, Mark PS Choosing not to decide is a choice. :-) However, no matter how much you may influence or coerce another, their choice remains their own. We are all responsible for our bad actions towards another, and they theirs towards us, but at the end of the day, "each will die for their own sin." I'm really big on personal responsibility. :-) |
