I don't just think I believe in the sovereignty of God...I do believe in His sovereignty.
I know I am saved, and I remember vividly when it happened (even though it was a long time ago...I was just a little kid!). I know children can be saved, but I really don't think they understand all the words and exactly in what order the "process" happens! I honestly never thought about how it happened...I just know it did! (It's called "simple" faith...Luke 18:16-17)
11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. CJ How can that happens if mans will is sovereign?
It can't. I don't believe man's will is sovereign; God is sovereign. But I guess the questions I asked and the statements I made regarding predestination would lead one to believe I think man's will overrides God's sovereignty.
And thanks for your very detailed response to pe in #943.
Maybe you should start a thread on the doctrine of predestination. (Good grief...I can't BELIEVE I just said that!)
Your friend, CJ :-)
It happens because God is sovereign, Terry.
