Subject: LEFT BEHIND? |
Bible Note: Ed, "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." That is a very nice sentiment. However you must back it up with scripture or it is merely human sentimentality. "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." Rom 9:21 Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use? Rom 9:22 What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? Rom 9:23 And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, Rom 9:24 even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles. Sounds like salvation to me. How do you see handicaps and talents in this passage? John |
