My computer is broken, but I'm tryin' to participate a little bit via an Internet Cafe.Not sure what you are saying here?
The way I see scripture: God is doing everything He can the help willing individuals accept His charity without forcing it on them. That “everything” includes Christ going to the cross, Satan roaming the earth, some people going to hell, tragedies of all kinds and even sin itself.
Yes, God will not “force” people to go to heaven that would not be happy there, so it has to be their choice.
What do you say to Paul's statement in Romans 8:29-30 ...
the elect are predestined, chosen, called, etc. and glorified.
I.E. God is successful with His elect in taking them all the way to ultimate salvation.
Sounds like these are really not even free to walk away.
Sounds like they're captured to do God's perfect will.
Just a-sayin'.
Note:
Re: the Romans 8:29-30 and thousands of others ...
Most people (the non-elect) are free to NOT believe the Scriptures.
But me, I'm a-believin' all of it.
It's all I have ... and would you like me to start a thread on this? ...
God honors His Bible ... and ... God honors those who believe His Bible.
... EVEN IF IT's NOT PERFECTLY PRESERVED ...
Note:
WHO ARE WE ANYWAY?
Man has always been a spiritual idiot. Hello.
Is he supposed to figure out what in Scripture is true, and what's untrue?
Nope:
Spiritual Truth is only obtained through spiritual revelation.
But, most people think it's through intellect, education, logic, reasoning, etc.
