Luke2427 said: ↑Then like Skandelon, you do not believe men are saved by grace alone through faith alone.Click to expand...
You believe men are saved by grace through faith and through acting somehow upon that faith.Click to expand...
The Bible clearly teaches that people who REALLY believe DO act but not that they have to act in order to be saved. All they have to do is BELIEVE.Click to expand...
But you believe that man has to believe AND act- which I think is not biblical and dangerous.Click to expand... -
Luke2427 said: ↑'Tis Not That I Did Choose Thee
lyrics by Josiah Conder, 1836
'Tis not that I did choose thee,
For Lord, that could not be;
This heart would still refuse thee,
Hadst thou not chosen me.Click to expand...
Thou from the sin that stained me
Hast cleansed and set me free;
Of old thou hast ordained me,
That I would live in thee.Click to expand...
'Twas sovreign mercy called me
And taught my op'ning mind;
The world had else entralled me,
To heav'nly glories blind.
My heart owns none before thee,
For thy rich grace I thirst;
This knowing, If I love thee,
Thou must have loved me first.Click to expand... -
Luke2427 said: ↑No. I cannot CHOOSE to believe you or not.
All I can do is be convinced one way or the other.
If you appear to be honest then I will likely be convinced. That is not a CHOICE.
It is you and your character and arguments CONVINCING me.Click to expand...Click to expand...
