There Are No Legitimate Seekers

[biggandyy]

From the Epicurus Thread:

Good response, Paul does stop the mouth of the scoffers and only says \"God Forbid\". Is there no theodicy found in Paul or the NT, however? And what about the legitimate seeker who is searching for the truth and really wants an answer besides \"That's just how it is...\" (granting that you believe that there are seekers...maybe another thread can handle this)

Here is a great discussion about seekers and seeker sensitive churches.

I consider R.C.'s thoughts on this topic spot on.

One can defend the view that there are awakened sinners that ARE, in fact, seeking the Lord without falling into a Willow Creek Model.

See: Amazon.com: Jonathan Edwards Evangelist (John Gerstner (1914-1996)): John H. Gerstner: Books


Jonathan Edwards spoke of a certain manner of seeking salvation and of those who were seekers, awakened sinners. There are none that seek God apart from his grace, but God does awaken sinnes and the Holy Spirit does plow the ground in pre-conversion.


Here is a sermon by Jonathan Edwards about the Manner in Which Salvation of the Soul Should be Sought: http://members.aol.com/jonathanedw/Seeking.html
