Bible Question:
God must GRANT the repentance that leads to the knowledge of the truth. Amen. He does (Acts 11:18). So what's the problem? Please note that I am not trying to restart a Calvinism/Armenian debate. I am suggesting that there is nothing to debate. Let us accept all of God's word. Let us accept God's sovereignty and the privilege of repentance. It may be that square one is where we should stay. |
Bible Answer: Dear Noble, Acts 11:18 When they heard this, they quieted down and glorified God, saying, "Well then, God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life." I must confess to enjoying our debates with one anotheron the forum. However, I don't know as if I'd define as fun :-) But they do serve to challenge our pre-suppositions. For instance, it seems that you pre-suppose that Acts 11:18 indicates repentance for "all" Gentiles. In return I would ask, why then does it not lead them to the knowledge of the truth? There is also the problem that not all gentiles are repentant. Do you see what I mean? John |
