@scottinthe503 For a man with such good takes on so many topics, my soul is grieved by your tone-deafness (or perhaps mine!!) on this one. 😉 Music appreciation certainly has its subjective elements!
Hope you’re well brother.
@1984_nate Matt. 4:17 “From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Acts 11:18 “Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.”
Jesus commands repentance, God grants repentance.
“The pulpit calls those anointed to it as the sea calls its sailors; and like the sea, it batters and bruises, and does not rest.... To preach, to really preach, is to die naked a little at a time and to know each time you do it that you must do it again.”
- Bruce Thielemann
@MattJSchilling@Soteriology101 Every OT sacrifice of atonement was for God’s chosen, covenant people ONLY. Every biblical atonement is particular…not for the Amalekites, etc. So too, Jesus died for His sheep (John 10).
Praise God Jesus didn’t make me savable. He actually saved me.
@MattJSchilling@Soteriology101 Indeed, Jesus shed His blood for “the many” - Matthew 26:28. Hence His redemption is particular. We sing these truths well, we think of them poorly:
From heav’n He came and sought her,
To be His holy bride.
And with His own blood bought her And for her sake He died.
@Soteriology101 Rom 8:14-17 comes before 8:23, and the already/not yet is basic NT theology. That in no way helps you avoid the fact that God predestined His people for adoption. Something clearly not true of all people. Just as Rom 8:30 shows all the predestined are glorified in part already.
@stevebward@Soteriology101 Rom. 8:7-8 “For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, IT CANNOT. Those who are in the flesh CANNOT please God.”
Do you think God’s law doesn't apply people in the flesh? Since it’s “dumb” to command what they can’t do?
@dfziklag@Soteriology101 “My view” was just summarizing Ephesians 1:3-14 which I spent the last three Sundays preaching through. The Father chose us before the foundation of the world, the Son redeemed us and the Spirit sealed us. Either we submit to God’s Word or we twist it.
@stevebward@Soteriology101 Which they didn’t do and couldn’t do, hence why later in the book God promises that He will do what they can’t do—by taking their hearts of stone and giving them hearts of flesh.
