When we resist what the scriptures teach, it may be because the Bible challenges our assumptions about who God is and how He should act. In this video, Dr. Burk Parsons reflects on his previous objections to the “Doctrines of Grace”.
I became a little before I understood the doctrines of salvation. My doctrine about God, in which He had been educated, was that God was doing things a certain way and not otherwise. Having to struggle with these assumptions about God, which are not biblical, I think that’s one of the reasons. Somehow we must get rid of this bad theology before we really understand the right biblical theology.
- I believe that many Christians.
- And I even know some.
- Still struggle with the “Doctrines of Grace.
- ” partly because they have these academic and exegetic struggles.
- Have trouble understanding certain passages and verses.
- Just as I have fought.
- Fight I had? I understood theology.
- Explanation.
- Rationality.
- But as a student of theology.
- Greek and Hebrew 25 years ago.
- I was studying certain passages and I said.
- “This passage does not correspond to this other passage.
- “Then it was necessary to understand hermeneutics.
- The correct method of interpretation to help me see how all the scriptures fit together.
- How one passage interprets another.
- And how a simpler passage helped me interpret another that was difficult.
There are some who understand God as a loving God, and although they confess and believe that God is sovereign, they find it difficult to understand how a loving God could condemn or how a loving God can not choose everyone. and I also asked at the time, “Why doesn’t God save everyone?Why didn’t God choose everyone?
This is a real doubt, although biblically it is not the most appropriate question because if we understand the fall of man, that we are enmity and opposition to God, that we flee and hide from him, that when he became flesh, Kill him. , if we understand that we deserve death and hell, we will begin to ask the most appropriate biblical question, which is, “Why does God save someone?”Why did God choose someone?
Thus, we will begin to better understand God’s grace and begin to say, Why me?
