I find it of interest that a man who, in his statement of beliefs, says that some man will be saved and others will not, because God has already made up his mind and we can do nothing to change it, BUT I MUST CHANGE MY WAYS.
“... man became spiritually dead, totally unwilling and indeed incapable of seeking after God. God, from eternity past, having foreordained all things, joined a certain people to Christ Jesus, so that He might redeem them from their sin and in so doing bring glory to Himself. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died in the place of this elect people...” from http://aomin.org/AOFAITH.html
Since, by James White”s own belief, I am already where God has placed me, I am already fulfilling God,s plan. I can do nothing to change, by his belief. How many of us are not among the “elect”?
And let's just for one brief moment say that James White's understanding of election is wrong. Does that negate anything he wrote above?
Now let's go back to the assumption that he is correct in his exegesis of Scripture. Isn't is hypocritical of you to condemn his stand? In other words, why must he CHANGE hisWAYS to suit your statement of beliefs?
But again, you are deflecting the point of this thread. What is it about the above that prevents you from defending it without attacking the writer?
