J.I. Packer has died

I do not think there is a more anti Calvinist on this forum than myself, but when a great man of God passes, we should all take heart. Mr. Packer presented his understanding of scripture to a needful world. Even I have his "Knowing God" on my bookshelf. Now is not the time to find fault, but instead to raise up the memory of a person fully committed to Christ. I am sure Christ's message is ringing in his ears, "welcome home, faithful servant."

I like to think most anyone can discern truth from scripture, but for sure we can all go astray. And once we have trodden down our path through scripture, we seem to lose our ability to see our errors.

You are correct. I was very wrong about free will

You need a rearview mirror.

'“The healthy Christian is not necessarily the extrovert, ebullient Christian, but the Christian who has a sense of God’s presence stamped deep on his soul, who trembles at God’s word, who lets it dwell in him richly by constant meditation upon it, and who tests and reforms his life daily in response to it.” (J.I. Packer)
