Subject: What about those who never heard of JC ? |
Bible Note: 1. Yes, you are right. What was the Old Testament faith in? 2. What verse(s) are you citing here? 3. Absolutely correct, because it is our failure to DO right that condemns us. 4. Sure they coincide, or else you have to start tearing whole chapters out of your Bible. Predestination is biblical. So is free will, in a certain sense. The question is how they fit together. 5. Wrong. The faith expressed was in the promise of God's redemption. No, they did not have as much revelation as we do regarding the specifics of that redemption, but the object of their faith was the same. 6. I don't understand the point you are trying to make here. 7. Then you have a poor concept of God's sovereignty. Show me verses which say that everyone's name is in the book of life. Show me passages which state we refuse God's choosing. The Holy Spirit is a "He," not an "it." Predestination is addressed in Matthew 13, John 6, Romans 8-9, and Ephesians 1, among other places. Denying it is denying Scripture. --Joe! |
