Bible Note: "As I have repeatedly said you will never convince me of predistination and I can only believe that through my prayers God will one day bring you out of this teaching. EdB" Hi Ed, Feel free to ignore this post. I know I can be a real pest at times :-). But I was looking through some recent posts and felt compelled to ask you a question regarding your prayers on my behalf. Why do you pray that God would "bring me out", from what you see as false teaching, if in the end He is powerless in the face of my own "free will"? It seems to me, that if I am in error and God desired to correct my error He could simply open my eyes to the truth! Just like He did when I first heard the gospel. I already had heard the gospel before, but did not believe it. Years later I heard it again and my ears were opened. Should I thank God for opening my ears or should I congatulate myself for having become wise in the meantime? You tell me. God Bless Ed, John Reformed |
