Fact is, I have been on the other side of the theological fence and can remember my reaction to hearing the doctrine of Particular Redemption for the first time. It was like I was tazed by a close friend! I struggled with these truths for many months before I surrendered to God's undiluted Sovereignty.<br /><br />I have loaned tapes on election and particular redemption by John MacArthur (who can explain it a lot better than me). I have given sermons on the subject by Spurgeon and still had the lamp of investigation turned on in my face...and that's better than the silent treatment. (that can happen too) <br /><br /> "If Christ on His cross intended to save every man, then He intended to save those who were lost before He died. If the doctrine be true, that He died for all men, then He died for some who were in Hell before He came into this world, for doubtless there were even then myriads there who had been cast away because of their sins. . . That seems to me a conception a thousand times more repulsive than any of those consequences which are said to be associated with the Calvinistic and Christian doctrine of special and particular redemption. To think that my Savior died for men who were or are in Hell, seems a supposition too horrible for me to entertain" (Charles Spurgeon, "Autobiography: 1, The Early Years," p. 172).Eddie Eddingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864410680077755048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882165486994692239.post-28592294713751907502011-05-25T04:23:41.947+03:002011-05-25T04:23:41.947+03:00Man who looks like HC: "The word

Not that Servetus argument again!" The lady exclaimed. With the silence from the young woman at the table, she turned to the men who seemed to be Calvinist by appearance: "What do you guys think of John Piper and Rick Warren together?" She paused to let the cricket chorus begin. The men obviously weren't sure what to think about such an odd alliance. Then, the lady at the table shouted back: "And you wouldn't believe what Pastor Schaap taught about last week! It was one of the best sermons on making a decision for Christ I've ever heard!" Her eyes grew wide and she began to cringe, realizing she was the only one who actually listened to Jack Schaap in the group.<br /><br />Gave it a shot.mikew116https://www.blogger.com/profile/15904946581928823933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882165486994692239.post-79523748888559782092011-05-25T02:09:08.925+03:002011-05-25T02:09:08.925+03:00@ Michael
