Subject: Why can we not just be Christians? |
Bible Note: Greetings Kalos! There is a much simple solution to this problem than creating multiple 'kinds' of wills. :-) There are some things that God wills that are conditional. God willed for Nivevah to repent. If they did not, they would be judged. If they did, they would be forgiven. God willed for Jerusalem to 'be gathered under His wings', but they would not. God wills for all to be saved, but not all repent. The approach advocated by so many is to create a schizoprenic (sp?) God who wants all to be saved, but not enough to actually save them! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
