Where is "libertarianly seek" in the text?
They must come to hear out the gospel first while not yet saved. And paying attention to natural revelation they can seek while not yet saved. These will respond to the gospel when understood.
Where is "libertarianly seek" in the text?
As John statedYes God does ?
Just a suggestion. You seem to agree with other posters whenever it suits you. You then proceed to use 'calvie talk' which is a personal affront to people who don't believe as you do. After looking at pages and pages of your posts, you never offer anything that shows you have actually thought this over, engaged in any of the actual doctrines of grace.That’s simple the questions expose the error of their doctrines . Well done ?
How is this comment helpful to the discussion?Amen brother!
Preach it
I love being able to read your response to the ignored one that doesn’t show up ?
And of course it must be understood and understanding is by the SpiritAs John stated
John 20:31 (KJV 1900) — 31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
Do you think that the grammar is intentionally written incorrectly and that we need the spirit to get the grammar corrected?And of course it must be understood and understanding is by the Spirit
Do you think that the grammar is intentionally written incorrectly
and that we need the spirit to get the grammar corrected?
The grammar states that it is thru believing that life is available.
Who said anything about grammar?Do you think that the grammar is intentionally written incorrectly and that we need the spirit to get the grammar corrected?
The grammar states that it is thru believing that life is available.
The concept is the point. Life is available to everyone, those who entrust themselves to Christ will find life.Not at all.
You simply don't understand the grammar.
Nope.
Nowhere does it state that life is "available".
That's simply you twisting Scripture.
The concept is the point. Life is available to everyone, those who entrust themselves to Christ will find life.
Then what were you suggsting specifically about his understanding of the verse?Who said anything about grammar?
Another fishing expedition?
The verse is not to be understood in isolation. The reason why you should not proof text.Then what were you suggsting specifically about his understanding of the verse?
Your comment about understanding thru the Spirit is a true thought, but in the context it cam across as a correction to the poster who was presenting the truth in a verse.
Jesus said "Come to me ALL of you who labor and are heavily burdened, I will give you rest." Jesus is that sabbath rest, that new life, and here He offers Himself to ALL.Life is not availaible to everyone, since not all are able to "entrust themselves to Christ".
You are projecting your theology onto the text.
Eisegesis.
So you have no doctrinal idea, but just wanted to throw out a generic correction?The verse is not to be understood in isolation. The reason why you should not proof text.
Jesus said "Come to me ALL of you who labor and are heavily burdened, I will give you rest."
Jesus is that sabbath rest, that new life, and here He offers Himself to ALL.
Common sense says it is an offer that is only qualified by those who are labored and heavy burdened.Why do you guys always IGNORE the qualifier clauses?
UnBiblical.
And again, you are ASSUMING it's an "offer".
I assume you mean that the word "offer" is not present, but there is clearly and invitation and an offer.Why do you guys always IGNORE the qualifier clauses?
