Answering Arminianism's "Big Three": Mat 23:37; 1 Timothy 2:4 4 who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. ; 2 Peter 3:9 - 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Pastor Patrick Hines Podcast These three verses are taken out of context so often by opponents of true, biblical Christianity, that I'd like to offer a response to them and display what they mean in their contexts. Dr. James White's excellent book: https://a.co/d/04O8YWWD - "The Potter's Freedom: A Defense of the Reformation and a Rebuttal to Norman Geisler's Chosen But Free" This book has an entire chapter on "The Big Three." Dr. Geisler's consistent response to the long, detailed passages teaching unconditional election, definite atonement, and irresistible grace is to offer very shallow comments followed by citing one or all of these passages. In fact, I believe it was verified that when one looks at the sections of Geisler's book "Chosen But Free: A Balanced View of God's Sovereignty and Free Will" (https://a.co/d/0aF1J7zP), one or all of these passages is cited an average of once every four pages! In other words, their meaning is assumed, not demonstrated by exegesis. But what if they don't mean what Geisler thinks they mean? Then his response to nearly every passage of God's word contrary to his thesis goes up in smoke.
