Bible Note: Greetings Joe! Well, we are going in circles now my friend! :-) My practice is not accept what Scripture actually says! So, if it says that all the city went out to John the Baptist, I believe that all the city went out to John. If 'all' is modified by or limited by other helping words, then I modify or limit the term 'all', otherwise, it means 'all'. :-) You wrote: " I find it interesting that Arminians have a problem with God not giving all sinners (i.e. those who deserve judgment) redemption, but have no qualms about Jesus the sinless Son suffering more of God's wrath to no end whatsoever." He only died once! He didn't have to die once for each person! So, I don't understand this objection at all! His suffering wasn't needless at all. He was reconciling the world to Himself to make salvation available to all. How is that a waste? Now, I could turn the argument around and say that it is interesting that Calvinists have no problem with a God who deliberately doesn't save some, but have qualms about a God who makes an offer of salvation which isn't accept by all! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
