Monergistic
in sound only but wholly synergistic in sense - quite typical; what's worse is
that the Monergists are oblivious to their error.
In
a post here https://www.facebook.com/1508696.../posts/10151291770289949/ by
Monergism on its page, the Administrator speaks approvingly of the third
scenario depicted in the picture.
But
the third scenario is remotely monergistic.
Can
you see it?
"...
sinners are welcome here and I will change your heart to love the things I
love...."
The
plain meaning of the above is this:, when sinners (whose hearts are not yet
changed, i.e. still dead in trespasses and sins) come to Christ, they are
welcome by Christ, and He will change their hearts (by the divine act of
regeneration) to love the things He loves.
And
Monergism APPROVES this cart-before-horse salvation, that men whose hearts have
not been changed can come to Christ to have their hearts changed; men dead in
trespasses and sins must meet the condition of coming to Christ in order for
their hearts to be changed by Jesus Christ. Monergism claims that this salvation
is still unconditional by the free and monergistic grace of God.
Christ
calls those whose hearts He HAS CHANGED to come to Him. Those coming to Him
will find rest.
Matthew
11:28 KJV — Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will
give you rest.
The
change of heart through the free and sovereign regeneration PRECEDES the ability to come to Christ.
Monergists put the cart before the horse and are oblivious to their silliness.
