Subject: God is in control of every single atom? |
Bible Note: Hi Pastor Glenn, You made some excellent points. 1."Your argument on John 6:44 does appear to have some merit until to slams into Hebrews 6:4-6" 2. "we need to understand by studying and praying about the methods used for proper interpretation. Yes, context is important, but so is the referencing of related scripture. Now we know that Scripture does not contradict itself. Therefore John 6:44 and Heb 6:4 are both correct. The question is how do we reconcile them with each other? We also know that some verses are clearer and easier to understand than others. You said that my interpretation of John 6:44 "has some merit". Why do you say some merit? Putting aside for the moment any other related verses and focusing strictly on the context of 6:44, can you honestly say that it means something other than what my interpetation said it meant? If so please tell me. I am not perfect and if you can show me where I missed the mark, I will re-examine my conclusion. I am not asking you to disregard any verses that may bring into question my interpretation, but to put them on hold for the moment. I just want to be sure that you don't have any objections based on the context alone, before we move on to Hebrews 6:4 Is that OK with you? John |
