This is really uncalled for and should be pulled. This shows little or better NO understanding of election from the Bible. How the board allows this, i'm unsure.
I am saying this publicly as a moderator who if you will read my posts you will know I am staunch Sovereign Grace.
Therefore, I find no offense in the post, nor the topic thread. Diane has posted a valid topic of discussion.
There are songs that I view as arminian and others I view as calvinistic.
Please, know I am sympathetic of the charge that this is a representation of something offensive to Calvinists, however, I have decided to leave it.
This is the best opportunity for us to explain to any who wish to know honestly, that at the resurrection God's Sovereignty will be displayed and all who are Sovereignly elected and redeemed into His family will be in the full likeness of their redeemer, therefore, at that point, there is no longer a question of human ties, emotions, etc, only the will and purpose of God. And brothers and Sisters, that will and purpose is founded upon His eternal holiness, justice, righteousness and mercy. All at that time in Him will be Amen to His every purpose, did not Christ teach us to pray toward that end...thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Thus, there is no question for human thought, volition, nor emotion, all is immediately acted upon not from the humanistic tendency toward selfishness, but for the purpose of worship, glory and honor of the Eternal Living God.
May God Bless,
