Regardless of view,, Calvinistic or Arminian, or Catholic,,, which ever...
The fact is, WITHOUT FAITH YOU CAN NOT BE SAVED. The fact still remains that WORKS CAN NOT SAVE.
So, now that we understand those two important things.....
We can see how each can read a verse in the Bible and it seems to say something different to them than it would to another. It really doesn't matter if you believe that we have free will, or we don't.
It pretty much just boils down to evangelist styles. Where, if you believe that only God can draw people, then you probably dont' preach to others as much. You more than likely depend on God sending people to you, or you being sent to people.
If you believe that we have free will, you may preach more to others, or debate a little bit more, and try to convince and reason with others to "get" them to believe. But, you also believe that God will send people to you, or send you to people.
Meh,, 6 of one half a dozen of the other. It's the same goal, and basicaly the same belief. The only difference is the debate with eachother, which causes division, and it's not needed at all.
There is strong support for both views, however,, since we're human, and we do have a certain amount of freedom in Jesus Christ, we're not bound to anothers doctrines, be they true or false. The Word of God speaks for itself, and since the Word of God is Spirit, and is Living, that makes it more like music.
One person hears music and can focus on the back beat (those are primarily the ones that like Rock N Roll type music) another person can focus on the up beat (those are primarily the ones that like Country and Gospel type music)
So, the beats are the same, just used in different styles, but with the same count,, 4/4 or what ever. What's more, if you compare the Bible to the tonic scale, you'll notice,, that all the "western" (IE, not middle eastern) types of music use the 12 note tonic scale. So, Every style of "western" music, uses the same tools, but forms to a different idea.
Even though these all seem so diversified, you can clearly see that the goal and the tools are exactly the same, even the hearts of the muscians are exactly the same. They have a love for music, and a skill for producing it according to the understandings they were blessed with, be it coultural, or aquired.
One people, One goal, One God. It's all the same.
