The
Resurrection and Compatibilism (PhD Edit)
The
resurrection work of Jesus Christ would be reasoned to change the entire nature
of saved persons to sinless and allow everlasting life,[1]
but without God also determining that sin would never again occur, I reason
that transworld depravity as mentioned by Alvin C. Plantinga could always be a
concern.
I reason that
as human nature has already demonstrated that it can fall, in the restoration
it will need not only culminated perfect nature through resurrection, but also
the influence of the Holy Spirit in heavy measure. Citizens will be filled with
the Holy Spirit as was Stephen in Acts Chapter 6, for example. The New American
Standard Version Bible Version (1984: 1234-1235). As God has developed saved persons to freely
follow him with his guidance, I do not see why this would change within the
everlasting realm.
Without
compatibilism in my view, incompatibilism and free will theory is left with the
problem of explaining how human corruption and Plantinga’s transworld depravity
will not prevent the salvation of persons and the completed and finalized
Kingdom of God.
