Bible Question:
Dear Tim, It ssems as if both of us are doing an injustice to one anothers doctrines. I apologize, if indeed, I have mis-represented the arminian position on free-will. I simply assumed that, if a unregenerate person was capable of understanding and recieving the gospel, that the desire to do so must, of a necessity, spring from his heart. If we are truly in agreement regarding the depraved condition of the natural man (dead in sin and a mind that is in enmity against God), where do you say the desire for Christ comes from? John |
Bible Answer: Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. HEARING THE GOSPEL, the faith comes from the Spirit and desire is felt in the heart, belief is conceived and confession is made. Then one is born again. Rom 10: 8-10. Love, Tim Hines |
