[Dr. Eckleburg]

Christ's offering of himself for sin has never changed.

Neither do I take away from the Atonement by rejecting it or not believing that it is freely offered.

Our difference, perhaps, is in realizing that Christ's "offer" is a gift the recipient cannot refuse.

Who's in charge if man can say "no, thanks" to the Creator of heaven and earth?

[Colin MacTavish]

***Who's in charge if man can say "no, thanks" to the Creator of heaven and earth?***

Why God is still in charge. In times past, God suffered all the nations to walk their own way, yet now commands all men everywhere to repent. See Acts 17:30. Is the fact that men everywhere will refuse to repent an indication that God is no longer in charge?

The fact that men say "no, thanks" does nothing to dethrone God. Absolutely nothing that man can do or refuse to do will dethrone God. Man's free agency is no threat to the Sovereignty of God.
