Subject: Are those drawn 2 Christ raised to life? |
Bible Note: Greetings retxar! Hey, bud, there's no need to get defensive. First off, I am only asking questions for the purpose of gaining information about WHY your statement was made. I need to ask questions because that initial statement was VERY broad and open to interpretation. We all must be as concise as possible and be open to explaining WHY we believe as we do rather that dismissing someone else simply because we disagree with them. You say the text means what it "simply says". So what is that, exactly? I mean, I believe the verse in it's own context "simply says" something completely different that you do. So who's right? Shall we debate the context of John 6:35-45 exegetically? Regarding your postscript: The passage has nothing to do with so-called "invitations". It says "drawn". And all who are drawn are raised up to eternal life. If you aren't raised up to eternal life, you weren't drawn. This passage is speaking directly of man't INABILITY and the purpose of God's SAVING GRACE. God doesn't invite to save. God saves. Can you show me how you can come to another conclusion from Scripture? In Christ, Jibbs |
