Whom Does God Save and How?
Introduction:
I recently received an email from a friend who has been struggling with
a brand of theology that, in this friend's view, takes a repugnant
stance on God's attitude toward the lost. Rather than debate peoples'
names and positions, I thought it would be far more helpful if I supply
this friend with Scripture references on the topic and allow a
self-study. I would rather study Scripture myself than study what other
people think about Scripture. Hopefully, my friend will find this study
rewarding. I have the same hope for the reader.
