The Calvinist seems unaware of the contradiction in what he is saying. Bryso
n raises a logical question:
And since the unregenerate are reprobate [predestined to damnation by God' d
ecree] as a result of a choice made by God alone, how could they be responsi
ble for their lostness ... and inevitable damnation? 3
It would be a mocking, a taunt for God to promise man that if he would earne
stly and sincerely seek Him he would find Him, if in fact it were impossible
for man to do so unless God regenerated him.
As inspired by the Holy Spirit, however, the entire Bible from Genesis to Re
velation gives the clear impression that those with whom God pleads could of
their own volition repent and turn to Him if they would. Taking Scripture a
t face value, H.A. Ironside put it like this:
The gospel preacher can declare without any kind of mental reservation the b
lessed fact that whosoever will, may take the water of life freely (Revelati
on 22:17). This is not at all a question of being allowed to take Christ as
Savior. It is an earnest entreaty to do so. (Emphasis added) 4 | m****a 发帖数: 9485 | 2 救恩是神的计划和恩赐,是生命的水,任何人,只要伸手取水来喝,都会赐予,得以在
