04/14/24 THE BIBLICAL VIEW
John 3:16, First Timothy 2:4, Second Peter 3:8 and First John 2:1-8 (among other passages) say (and they mean what they say), God wants all men to be saved from sin and judgement. Any claim to the contrary is bologna, no matter how you slice it.
It is blasphemous to say God unilaterally reprobates people for His glory. People are reprobate because of their free choice to reject Christ and His salvation. Everyone is responsible for his own sins and everyone who rejects Christ has made that choice in spite of God's love, mercy, sacrifice, provision.
People sit under the sound and light of the gospel every week and choose to turn from the God Who calls them to salvation. The idea of unilateral, unconditional, double election is a lying trick of the devil to hold sinners captive. God calls, actually calls, but few are chosen because few accept the free gift of salvation from sin. Stop blaming Adam or God for your sinful condition and separation from God. Believe, repent and be saved. It is your choice.
The saved are saved according to God's mercy and justice. God provides salvation to whosoever chooses to believe. Those who hear, but refuse God’s mercy, and reject God's offer of salvation, are justifiably cut off from God forever.
