RESULTS OF SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE LIFE--PART 4

GOD DOES NOT THINK SUCCESSIVELY, BUT SIMULTANEOUSLY.
The 7 things, we closed with, in our last post, all went simultaneously in His Mind in Eternity.
their execution will be in the same order in Time.

God has a special Purpose, but universal Power.
He gave Christ universal power, in order that His Purpose might be brought to fruition-
John 17;3-''And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.''
God's Universal Power enables Him, to accomplish His Eternal Purpose.

The Possibility, that Man could prevent God from accomplishing His Purpose, would signify that
Man is bigger than God, thus humanizing God, and elevating Man.

Arminians assume, that they work in conjunction with God's Grace, in The Regeneration of A
Passive Sinner.
Their Idol, ''Free Will,'' is extolled, because they attribute Free Will, as the instigating act, that causes God to respond to Man's Act.
Hence The Arminian idea is that, if the sinner will come to Christ in faith, Grace attains its purpose.
But if he wills to resist, The Purpose of God is defeated.

Listen now, to some questions, that prove the fallacy of The Arminian answers to them;

[1] When 2 men hear the same message, and only one is saved, but the other dies in his sins, Did God purposed to save only the One/
The Arminian answers, ''No, because the same operation of the Spirit always accompanies The Word.''
In contrast, to The Arminian answer, Paul addressed Christians, when he stated, that The Gospel
came to them in power, in the Holy Spirit, and much assurance [I Thessalonians 1;5].
The Same Word Preached DOESN'T ENTER WITH POWER, INTO THE UNREGENERATED
PERSON.

[2] Did God work more powerfully, in the heart of One, than the Other/
The Arminian answers negatively.
On the contrary, One hears, has assurance, and appropriates what he has heard, and is active, for the Things of The Lord.
But The Other, hears, goes away, and shortly forgets what he has heard.

To the person, whose heart has been prepared by God's Grace in Regeneration, The Word enters his heart, remains, and works effectually in those, who believe -I THESSALONIANS 2;13-[TURN].
