God loves us too much… {Guest Post}
I am looking for some serious apologetics from the Armenian side – no straw men requested. Having recently discussed election during a study of 1 and 2 Peter and hearing an attendee express complete disdain for the idea, I want to know the strong points of the ‘free choice’ side and the verses that support it. Who would be blowing the trumpet on that bandwagon and why?
Ultimately, I believe all discussions of election eventually return to the debaters’ views of who God is and what he does in the process of salvation, but for the time being, what are the specific arguments that favor free will?
Known and investigated verses-
John 3:16 – emphasis on ‘whosoever’
2 Peter 3:9
Ezekiel 18:23
Ezekiel 18:32
Ezekiel 33:11
1 Timothy 2:4
Are there other verses that seem to promote a free will offering to all?
