How do you think the Greco-Roman audience understood the concept of predestination? I have a more in-depth video on Ephesians 1 here: ua-cam.com/video/wUcCKr4Hii8/v-deo.htmlsi=aoaOzf-BE3qGJkff
Hello, new to your channel. I am exploring soteriology and have had questions about the exact passage that you touched on a bit in the video- Acts 17. Reading a little further down from the verses you mentioned, it says, “Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.” Acts 17:30-31 NKJV My question is, how does God calling all men, everywhere to repent align with the concepts of TULIP? Are all men truly able to repent? Are all men, everywhere being commanded to do something they cannot do? Does God desire all men to repent? Thank you in advance.
@@danijax24 Do you mean to ask, “ Is TULIP at odds with Acts 17?” Do you think it is? Why or why not? Since you zeroed in on a command, you could also ask, “Is TULIP at odds with the Ten Commandments?” If so, why? If not, why not?
Hi, thank you for your reply. TULIP does seem at odds with Acts 17 at first glance. Men seem to be called to repent, but T would suggest that we can’t repent on our own. “All men, everywhere” seems like every, single human being, unlike the U. If L is true, then men who have had no Savior provided for them, and thus no chance of being saved, are being called to repent. I have thought about the Ten Commandments in relation to TULIP as well. Good point. If God gave the commandments and we could not keep them, then is it plausible that a command to repent is also given to people who cannot repent? I’ve understood the law to be our tutor, used to bring us to Christ. As we look at the law we see both the holiness of God and our need to be rescued. This is described for us in Galatians. However, is there a precedent of the same concept in Scripture, showing us that God commands us to repent even though we cannot? Thank you for the dialogue.
