Bible Note: Greetings John! You wrote: "I dont't see where losing glorifys God." But, Is. 55:9 says, "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." ;-) Rom. 9 explains God's right to work out His purpose of election, but 10-11 defines His purpose of election. In particular, Rom. 11:25-32 shows that the Potter has been sovereignly working so that He might show mercy to all men, not just some. That is the point at which we differ my friend. I asked someone earlier, where is the verse which says that Christ died only for some? I can show you plenty that say He died for all, or the world. I know that you will then say that 'all' only means' some, and 'world' only means certain kinds of people. But, where is the verse which specifically states that Christ died only for some? Just curious! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
