Default Re: Another Question For Not ready

[ QUOTE ]

1) Man is created upright;

2) A man who never hears the gospel preached and thus is the recipient of zero grace cannot but fail to sin;

3) God doesn't have to and sometimes doesn't offer such men a chance at redemption by hearing and responding to the gospel

[/ QUOTE ]

So far as it goes, this is correct. But it is incomplete. You have arrived at Romans 9 but left out the first 8 chapters. I reject your logical implication because it denies what the Bible teaches. The above points are also taught by the Bible. As I said, I can't reconcile some concepts in the Bible to satisfy human reason. So you may choose your ultimate standard. Your ability to reason or the Bible. If you go with reason, you will eventually run into other logical contradictions. We are finite and sinful. We cannot rationalize all of reality. The attempt to do so always results in contradiction, Christian or non-Christian. But I believe God is Absolute Rationality and there are no real contradictions in Him or His word. The fault is ours, not His.
