I think that view holds no water at all. 10:1 shows that he is praying for their individual salvation. The issue is taken up w/ God's faithfulness (theme of Rom. 1-8) and how he can be faithful if so many Israelites reject Jesus. Answer: sovereignty. I dare you to read that article I linked...

Do you know Stott's view of the hell and annihilationism?

UPers... you're all like ;) I am still waiting for one example of where the NKJV departed from the TR. Just one. And I don't mean a translation difference. I mean an actual textual variance.

Is that degree from Andersonville supposed to mean something? That is just another degree mill.

Good book... but how in the world are you willing to read John Stott but not Tom Wright?

This is Jordan K's school (see the college/seminary board). Their website says: So I guess the NKJV is allowed there. Haven't they taught you that yet, Jordan???

Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

You can nuance; that is what theology does. Ever since the homoi- homo- debate over Jesus' divinity. I would like to hear a response, though, of whether God simply has but does not (or does not enforce) use his authority. I made the assertion that every single passage in Scripture speaks of...

Now you need to spill the beans about your former school ;) Would your college fit the local church trying to make a college concept from another recent thread? It also doesn't bode well when the school is unaccredited, tuition free, and doesn't list its faculty on the website. Something to...

For those who want a more scholarly read, Thomas Schreiner wrote an article on election in Rom. 9 in JETS (Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society). It can be accessed online too: Does Romans 9 Teach Individual Election unto Salvation? EDIT: Maybe it can't be accessed online? I'm...

The illustration is not about what you think the potter would do. It is about what the potter has rights to do. But what God would do is explained as displaying his mercy and wrath for his glory. So not only does he have the right over the clay, but then he goes and makes some for destruction...

Let me ask it this way, when Scripture speaks of God's sovereignty, does it ever say that he has authority and chooses when to use it? Or is it that he has and always uses it? I think you will find the latter is the case in every situation. Start w/ Prov. 16 if you don't believe me. So God...

I'm going to ignore all the banter above (though you were a hypocrite... you said "if you're not going to answer the questions, then why post it" when you didn't answer the OP question!!! hypocrisy! And slander doesn't mean telling the truth. Get a dictionary). Let's just skip to Rom. 9. It...

Hypocrite much? I'm sure you think it is not valid. But you ask a question which you could have gone ahead and provided the text for. And the 2nd one is such a broad question, w/ much theological baggage and debate, that it can't be answered satisfactorily for you to provide your answer to...

I get answering a question with a question. But this was just obtuse.

A word is not necessary. We have the idea when we say "brothers and sisters".

But doesn't the word "siblings" imply "brothers and sisters"? If that is the case, then I would argue that the latter is more personal and less formal of a term, much like adelphos.

Told ya... word studies.

Don't confuse exegesis with hermeneutics. You are asking questions that relate to one or the other. Most exegesis is limited here to word studies and translations. Even those who "know" greek and hebrew overlook literary and rhetorical studies. Syntax is an essential element that most people...
