Re: [TruthTalk] Whose Names are Written in the Lambs Book of Life?

[Bill Taylor]

Bill, you call what I wrote above �venting�???  I call it calm, sincere questions which you have avoided answering by calling it venting.  This is what I would call �venting�: Judy, You are impossible! Bill Izzy   I am glad we are getting to know each other better. No, That is the truth!   For the record, I am not avoiding anything. Your questions were so far off the mark as to not apply to anything I've said. What am I to do? Should I coral them for you, bring them in and reframed them, and then answer what would then not even be your questions? Or should I do as I did? The "lost" are already saved, recapitulated in Christ, they just don't know it. The gospel is the good news of their salvation. If they reject the gospel it is an indication that they are already rejecting the call of God upon their life. I've already said this. And so, the last thing I am with you is evasive. I answered you. You blew me off, lumped me in with a caricature of another group and then smeared us all. You then asked some questions impertinent to the framework of my post. If you want to better understand my positions, cut the accusations, and ask questions for clarification. You can also read what I posted to Judy, which goes further in explaining what I believe.   Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: ShieldsFamily To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 8:50 AM Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Whose Names are Written in the Lambs Book of Life?     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Taylor Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 9:47 AM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Whose Names are Written in the Lambs Book of Life?   Now that you've vented, please go back and reread what I've written.   Bill   I�m afraid you have made it abundantly clear.  Another circular argument (much like the �once saved always saved� thingy).  If one rejects Christ after hearing about Him, he would have done so anyway.  How can you lose an argument like that?  The person would still have been much better off not to have been given the opportunity to reject Christ! The question remains: what is the point in preaching Christ if not the save the lost? Izzy
