Bible Note: Greetings John! So, now your saying that the historical narrative of the two verses you cited before are simply poetic expressions? Literalism simply means to take Scripture in the way in which it was intended. So, I read narrative as narrative, poetry as poetry. Concerning the single verse, it shouldn't be so hard to find such a crucial doctrine supported by Scripture! ;-) Concerning your request for a single verse, I have never made the claim that mainkind is in control of it's own eternal destiny. I have only said that Christ died for all, which I have offered many verses to support. I have claimed that salvation is a gift which must be received, which I have offered many verses to support. So, what is the problem? Salvation is totally of God. He draws us. He died for us. He saves us. We agree on these points my friend. We simply disagree on the extent of His love. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
