The Elect

[Miss Shelby]

But do not those passages in Matthew directly contradict the notion that there can be a group of people who aren't given the grace to repent?

I know I didn't adhere to Reformationist's request to stick only to the topic of the elect, but how can we discuss the elect if we can't also discuss those who aren't elected?  And he did say to post Scripture as to why we don't believe in the concept. So I did. *sigh*

I'd start a new thread, but I seriously doubt that I would have any takers.

The Bible appears to teach both predestination and free will.

Free will:
John1:12
John3:15-19,36; 8:43-44
John6:40
Romans 5:17-18, 10:3
Rev22:17


Predestined Election:
???

Hey it's cool.  It was probably a silly request on my part.  Talk amongst yaselves!  I'm verklempt!

By the way, if you start a new thread on the topic I'd be happy to participate.

God bless
