But it DOES, and reformed theology snubs it's nose at it, or refuses to believe it because it would go against everything it stands for!I stand by my reply. The bible does not say why God chose Joe, Sally, Betty, Fred or Alphonse.
Simple, Joe had faith in Christ, Ed didn't. Both were drawn, one responded. Why? Free choice. Why again? Don't know, Bible doesn't say.Why does God choose Joe and not Ed?
Bigy question for the non-Calvinist: Why would God need to adopt those who had chosen to be born into His family in the first place? </font>[/QUOTE]Because God is Righteous and Isaiah 59. And those were only His from the foundations of the world because God knew who would receive the Gospel.Originally posted by Calvibaptist:

Sal, it grieves me to see you stoop so low as to call Reformed believers cultists. You obviously know very little about the Reformation. To try and educate you would be fruitless since you are close-minded and not open to the truth.Originally posted by Bill Brown:

No, because to apply that type of reason or even the aspect of Roman tradition to the method of God adopting children is heretical in that no authority is given over God to allow God to adopt!Originally posted by Calvibaptist:
And another thing...
Isn't it interesting that even in our modern society, when a child is being adopted, they don't ask his opinion on the matter? The child doesn't choose his adoptive parents. The parents choose the child and it is done. The child doesn't get to say yes or no. After the adoption papers, the child can now choose to love his new parents.
Gee, sounds like Paul used a calvinistic concept here as well.
I would really like to hear your theory on "why Calvin had Arminius put to death". Please?Originally posted by Salamander:
