Bible Note: Greetings Joe! 1) How would my understanding of Rom. 11 negate Rom. 9, when Romans 11 specifically states that those who were hardened can be grafted in again? 2) None of the verses you cite even use the word 'elect'! In fact, 2 Cor. 5:14-15 says that opposite, it says that He died for all! :-) This has been my point my friend. A theological construction forces us to change the meaning of words so that simple declarative statements become complex theological constructs which must be interpreted differently than the normal language of the text would normally be read. Your a Spanish teacher Joe, if you read a sentence which translated as "Love all men", would you assume that it meant "love some men"? Yet, in spite of the clear declarative statements, and the absence of any verse which specifically states that Christ did not in fact die for everyone, we are supposed to change the meaning of 'all'. I just can't accept that my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
