Election integrity

“If the reception of grace is determined by God’s hidden will (τὸ κρυπτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ), as Luther contends, how can the doctrine of free will be reconciled with the biblical teaching on divine election and human depravity? Luther asserts that to ascribe even the smallest part of salvation to free will demonstrates ignorance of grace. Does this not fundamentally undermine the synergistic position, which presupposes human cooperation in the work of salvation?”

“Correct? Who will possess all people to be saved, and to arrive to the knowledge of the truth. KJV Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. Notes & Key Terms Translator Notes The verb thelei (‘desires, wills, wants’) has been debated for centuries: does God’s desire necessarily produce its result? We render the Greek without imposing either universalist or particularist frameworks. The phrase epignōsis alētheias (‘full knowledge of the truth’) implies not mere information but deep, experiential understanding. Salvation and knowledge are paired — being saved involves knowing truth. Latin Vulgate (Jerome, 382-405 CE) “Who wishes all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” Omnes homines vult salvos fieri (who wishes all men to be saved) - this verse became the central proof-text in the Western predestination debate. If God wills all to be saved, how can predestination be true? Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, and the Jansenists all offered different readings of ‘all’ and ‘wills’ to reconcile this verse with their predestination theology.”
