Subject: Thoughts on Romans 9 |
Bible Note: Bingo! I could not agree more. We follow the Great Commission because we are commanded to. God chooses whom He will... He knows which seed will be harvested and which will wither, we do not. Thus we carry the message to all, and let God do the rest. My salvation story is similar to your Dad's but much seedier. I KNOW that God chose me, not the other way around. He grabbed me by the collar, spun me around and pointed me in the right direction. He saved me from an abysmal self-destructive life. He is the sovereign merciful Lord to whom I owe all. I had nothing to do with my salvation, and freely admit it. One of the strongest supports, in my view, for the doctrine of election is the personal testimonies of people who are saved! By the way, to solve your "disappearing text" problem (my home computer does the same) do this: When you preview the text, use your mouse to highlight the text you wrote. With the text highlighted, press CTRL-C to copy it to memory. Then back up from your preview. Click your mouse pointer once on the text window. Then press CTRL-V to paste the text back into the window. This will get you back to where you were. Blessings Curt |
