Scott Hutchinson,
A few questions,
Romans 8:28-30,
Who does the choosing in these verses??
Quote:
Man can reject the grace of God,or submit to it.
If God in His soverignity doesn't send His Spirit to draw one to Himself,they can't come to God.

John 6:37, those who are given...will they refuse to come??
Quote:
God's will is for all to come to repentance,but yet God knows the end from the beginning or the beginning from the end.
|
II Peter 3:9, Is the "anyone" and "everyone" the same "you" with which God is patient with or are they the "scoffers" and those who "follow their own evil desires"??? If it's everyone, including those in verse 3-7, then what's the purpose of Peter making a distinction between the "you" in verse 9 and the "them" in verses 3-7?? Wouldn't God be showing patience with both categories if Peter's meaning in verse 9 was that God's will is for everyone (in the whole world) to come to repentance?? Isn't the better interpretation that the "anyone" and "everyone" in the last two clauses the "you" in the second??

If Grace is not soverign,then it's not Grace at all.

I agree with this...but if grace is not irresistible then it has no power, therefore it is not sovereign.
