They preach a sermon about how we need to be prayer warriors for the salvation of our family, friends, neighbors, then in the invitation say that it's up to you to come - God will not force you to come.<BR/><BR/>But since I'm no better, I wonder what my blind spots are?Taliesinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06250806687440204400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16790134.post-1161634785770377352006-10-23T16:19:00.000-04:002006-10-23T16:19:00.000-04:00He did not mention "previenient grace" as a valida...He did not mention "previenient grace" as a validation for his position ...<BR/><BR/>The inconsistencies were glaring, and as I said, I really like this guy...but the Bible passages he used, the reasoning he employed, and the logical force were lacking...Even So...https://www.blogger.com/profile/14208866122431178938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16790134.post-1161634604061369722006-10-23T16:16:00.000-04:002006-10-23T16:16:00.000-04:00I was listening to an IFB minister online today, a...I was listening to an IFB minister online today, and he is teaching through Romans. I have respected him, and I wanted to look at his exegesis (and thoughts, yes) on the first chapter, which we just finished. This would also give me a gauge on where my theology had come to and what it sounds like now, etc. (not sure if I worded that right, but I think you get the idea)...<BR/><BR/>Ugh...<BR/><BR/>"Everyone doesn't start out bad, they have enough knowledge of God to make a choice for Him", etc., etc.<BR/><BR/>Time won't permit me to go point by point, but it made me realize this wasn't exegesis at all, only a running commentary. For example, the truth is that Paul was describing the human condition as a whole, not individuals, per se, although application can be made. He never went there, though, and went to places like God saving those in special situations, etc., (don't go there on me right now, OK?), everyone can choose God. But then he talked about praying for souls to be saved...How do you pray for God to save souls when it is the persons choice alone?Even So...https://www.blogger.com/profile/14208866122431178938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16790134.post-1161628717260631742006-10-23T14:38:00.000-04:002006-10-23T14:38:00.000-04:00Nice picture of the eagle.My denomination's doctri...Nice picture of the eagle.<BR/><BR/>My denomination's doctrinal position is open to Calvinists as well as Armenians. That makes things difficult for me because some folks can't understand why I get so excited about this. Usually, they'll say that it is not that big a deal, then they go and say something that misrepresents the sovereignty of God.<BR/><BR/>I don't want to alienate my Armenian friends, but it matters because truth matters.Craver Viihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882284402568264182noreply@blogger.com
