this message is so simple and so clear- salvation.  yet, share it with someone, and they defuse it with some obscure reason.  that free grace should be rejected for any cause is testament to the darkness of mankind.  i find it difficult that this person can explain clearly salvation to me and then excuse themselves from it.  either it is difficult to reject or difficult to accept but it cannot be both.  that is seems to me agreeable, is no inference to me but rather something about Him.

I think it is impossible to reject and impossible to accept. I see no confliction with the 2 , and in fact see it as a need for god to be god , and the bible to be true.

The bible clearly states that we are chosen by god , not that we choose him. It is inarguable (well , effectively anyways) and a truth. Therefor , it is not so much that we intellectually accept it , but instead that our eyes are opened , it is given , not acquired. So , if that is true…... it is impossible for man alone to “accept” it , no?

Now i believe it is impossible to reject. The bible clearly states that every man has some conception of a deity , of god. Written on our hearts and seen in nature. Even Richard Dawkins when in the secrecy of his own mind… occasionally doubts his stance , and questions the existence of a deity. He must , at one point or now or in the future. If he didn’t , the bible would be lying. So , if the bible is not lying , then it is impossible to reject entirely.

I see absolutely no confliction here. In fact , i see beautiful theology/truths found in the appeared contradictions…. as is usually the case in appeared contradictions. When picked apart , i find the solution to the appeared contradiction something which should humble us humans and encourage us to trust not ourselves , but instead Him who is far above us.
