The Wycliffe Bible Commentary, NT Editor Everett F.
Rather, it is selection for the roles God has called individuals and nations to play in their earthly life.” “But election in Romans 9:10-13 is not selection for eternal salvation or damnation. Carroll was pretty Calvinistic, but his above comments are noteworthy. Carroll (AD 1843-1914) was the founding president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Carroll, Interpretation of the English Bible, Romans 9. That election looked through them to others and, so far as salvation in heaven is concerned, the Jews that believed were saved, and so far as other nations were concerned he quotes certain parts in Hosea and the Old Testament, the paragraph referring to the ingathering of the Gentiles: ‘I will call them my people which were not my people.’” “The election of the Jewish nation looked to the salvation of the Jews and Gentiles that received the message of God, also the covenants, and the coming of Christ from them according to the flesh. “High above human thought, beyond the scope of human sight, of the human mind, the Omnipotence and Omniscience is ruling, and his rule is supreme, and yet nobody is taken by the hair and dragged into Hell, and nobody is taken by the hair and dragged into Heaven, as he will show more particularly later.” Here are some additional quotes to ponder on Romans 9.
Please check out the quotes at the previous post ( Romans 9, Calvinism, Traditionalism). There is no warrant in this passage to make it refer to whether an individual goes to Heaven or Hell. In short, Roman 9:13 is not speaking of personal salvation, but of God’s choosing one nation over another nation. The previous quotes were by Adrian Rogers, The New Bible Commentary: Revised, Norman Geisler, R. We previously gave quotes by Traditionalists (also called non-Calvinists Moderate Calvinists Biblicists) on Romans 9, in particular Romans 9:13 concerning Jacob and Esau.
