On the one hand, he wants to disprove individual election by substituting corporate election. On the other hand, he can only do that by forfeiting another traditional Arminian maneuver. Arminians typically evade the predestinarian force of passages like Rom 8:29 by contending that proginosko means prescience, whereas Calvinists say it means prior choice. Abasciano is now conceding the Calvinist interpretation of proginosko. Even if (ex hypothesi) he's right about corporate election, he wins one point by losing another point. One step forward, one step back. stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-46106846909669708332014-03-22T08:35:12.472-04:002014-03-22T08:35:12.472-04:00Not true.

If Justification is by faith, we think there is no to boast; if election is the same (i.e. by faith), why boasting? Whether or not faith was irresistibly forced on sinners or enabled for them by grace was not the Reformation issue.

If such things mentioned in the Bible are corporate and one enters by their own free will then election is a moot point and then Paul and Christians have a right boast in themselves.Trenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511008932132026210noreply@blogger.com
