Bible Question (short): Does John Reformed REALLY believe .....? |
Question (full): Egads! "However, John seems to deny that man can make any free choices whatsoever, including Adam and Eve." (Tim Moran; ID# 88154) NOT SO! If I gave you that impression, it was a failure in my communication skills or your mis-understanding of what I believe. If I said once, I've said it a dozen times...man sins out of the evil desires of his own heart. The fact that the working out of these sinful deeds is in acordance with God's eternal plan, neither absolves man's guilt in sinning nor does it make God the author of sin. (Acts 4) I do not appreciate having my beliefs mis-represented. But perhaps, you had asked me first, if this is what I believed, but I missed it (unlikely, but possible). If on the other hand you merly assumed this was my position, I think an apology may be in order. John |
