The A's have it!
Eventide, at one point I would have been very involved in your series of threads, but I've since conceded that minds are made up on the matter and hundreds of posts don't change them. While I don't get involved in them, I do observe, and I find your understanding of scripture to be in complete agreement with mine. It is interesting that certain words can be misinterpreted and a case built on the doctrine of Predestination that is not biblical. In spite of one constant theme from cover to cover, somehow words are twisted and redefined, leading some to the conclusion that scripture like 1 Timothy 2:4 only speaks to a select view, rather than to all people (as it says). It seems some are bent on not allowing scripture to say what it says. Rather, they make their own inferences. I have to believe that most people in this case have been indoctrinated by this theology, having not come to it through personal study.
It seems to me, if one has to infer to extract a meaning that wasn't implied by the Word so consistently, one is adding to the Word to support one's stance. Personally, I appreciate that you "put yourself out there" to defend the Truth that many people were NOT created for the soul reason to perish, and I'm sure there are others who are not inclined to become entangled in threads that change few hearts. I'm grateful that you feel led to. :yes
