Subject: Election |
Bible Note: Hi Doc, My only point in this thread was to agree with Tim, that the definition of election as given by John MacArthur and quoted by Kalos cannot be completely and exactly accurate in light of this scripture of Romans 11:7. You have stated that Tim's, and my reasons for thinking so started with a "false premise", were a "logical fallacy", and as such presented a "false dilemna". Your words. Its not the Book of Romans I have a difficulty with, its the definition of election written by MacArthur, quoted by Kalos, questioned by Tim, and defended by you. Throughout this lengthy thread you have not presented any foundation for your claim that this is a faulty premise, and as such a logical fallacy, but have instead offered advice on how to interpret the Bible, questioned if perhaps my foundational doctrines were skewed, implied that perhaps I am a bit out of focus, suggested that I would disagree no matter what you said, and in other ways as well have made statements (?) -half-statements, implications, and such - on a personal level, rather than simply discussing the scripture at hand, which is what I am interested in. But I am not interested in continuing this thread as is. Love in Christ, Mark |
