Bible Note: Dear Tim, You are in "denial", when you say " 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." You also stated "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." How does your statement "Salvation is totally of God." square with your espousal of free-willism? Again, arminianism teaches that God draws man and presents the offer of salvation. BUT, BUT, BUT....the final decision is up to the WILL OF MAN! God may move heaven and earth to persuade the lost to accept the gospel offer, but is powerless in face of man's rejection of that offer. Getting back to "all", as always being used in the absolute sense of the word, I have submitted a few verses which may persuade you, God willing, to modify your extreme position on this word. Matt 4:23 Jesus was going throughout all Galilee,... Matt 4:24 The news about Him spread throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He healed them. Mark 9:23 And Jesus said to him, "'If You can?' All things are possible to him who believes." Your Brother, John |
