Another interesting discussion on Old Truth, this one on why worry about poor preaching if the elect are going to be saved anyway? I like Jim B.'s explanation in this entry. Also of interest is the comment from "Sarah" arbitrarily discarding the centuries old doctrine of election in favor of a "loving God" and "biblical free will". Of course there is no biblical backing for this stance, but why quote Holy Writ when you can appeal to human sentimentality and emotion?

Yeah, that's amazing how the "Sarah's" out there do that. Just like the whole idea behind Dave Hunt's book "What Love is This?". It starts off with them deciding what God is like, and the forcing scripture to match their notions, at any cost. I suppose I used to do that too on the election passages, years ago, sad to say. Unfortunately, the people who say these things are usually "drive-by commenters" and won't stick around for us to talk with them, and challenge them.
