Subject: Doesn't this seem like a contradiction? |
Bible Note: Hank, One cannot simply ignore the fact that God told Moses That HE would harden Pharoah's heart. This was God's decree. Any subsequent hardening on Pharoah's part does not change or mitigate that which God (who always accomplishes His good pleasure) had pre-ordained. The remaining 9 verses, which attribute to Pharoah the hardening of his own heart, show that man is naturally bent against good and that God is not a puppetmaster. John Reformed PS: ("you and your predestined Calvinist brethern") I am gratified to see you recognize that it was God who is responsible for mine, and my brethren's theological perspectives :-) |
