CR> CHAP. XV. - Of Repentance unto Life
I agree with what is in here, but again it does not seem to answer the heart
of my question. Why should God have made repentance part of the plan if
election is true? What purpose does it serve?
It also gives rise to the question what about a man who wishes to repent, but
is not elected? The standard Calvanist answer is that this situation will
not occur, but in your previous post you said that God foreordaied the
outcomes of all possibilities of a man's will. That statement seems to allow
the existance of this contigency, doesn't it?
This is where I get very confused about some of Mick and Michael's claims,
and I hope you can help me here. They say that the Armenian doctrine limits
God's power by saying that God cannot save someone who doesn't want saving,
thereby giving us a power God does not have. But the way I see it, it is
Calvinism that limits God's power by saying there are unelected people in the
world that God could not save even if he wants to.
