Subject: LEFT BEHIND? |
Bible Note: John I knew better than to include 2 Cor 5:14-15, your right Paul here is talking to those that are saved. :-) In my boy example you said if he comes to Jesus he will be accepted, but he can't because he was not part of the elect therefore can not come according to you. Again according to you he has to live in fear of Hell but there is no salvation available to him. I think we both agree nobody can come to God unless God gives them the spiritual enlightenment to know they need God and salvation. Where we disagree, is that I believe a person can reject that truth. I also believe God gives each and everyone that glimpse into to spiritual reality at least once in each person’s life. If everyone is not given a chance then John 3;16 is not true Jesus didn't died for the world he only died for the elect. That is false Jesus died for the world (everyone) not just a chosen group. In your last comment you used the verse that said the potter can do what he wants with the pot. Your right that speaks directly to the sovereignty of God, it is not talking about salvation, it is talking about such things as talents and handicaps. God give talents and allows handicaps as he see fit. This passage has nothing to do with salvation. EdB |
