Bible Note: "Your the master of proof text, but your message does not agree with the rest of scripture. John 3:16 Jesus died for who ever should believe not just the chosen few." So "the rest of Scripture" means John 3:16? By the way, the word "whosoever" is not in the Greek. The Greek reads "all the believing ones." Believers believe because they are the elect of God, not the other way around, which is what far more than 88 verses relate. "Proof text taken out of context is pretext my friend." And what is the context of John 3:16? What else does Jesus say in his conversation with Nicodemus? "Sit down and read the WHOLE Bible not your favorite 88 and see what God said." Ed, it is the implication that you have superior knowledge of Scripture that always leads to the ugliness that arises in these discussions. You have accused a brother in Christ of "proof-texting" and responded with a single verse, your understanding of which should be the lens through which we see the entirety of Scripture. My friend, that is the classic definition of proof-texting. "Look how He dealt with the patriarchs." Look how he dealt with the Canaanite nations. "He gave them a choice, look how he dealt with people all through the Old Testament. In each case God reached out to man either to be accepted or rejected." Yes, the Philistines and Jebusites and Hivvites and the citizens of Jericho and the Moabites were all given that chance to "accept or reject," right? :) --Joe! |
