This site was created when a Bible study brother presented a Biblical view suggesting that one’s salvation/redemption is not passive. Nearly every passage recording what one must do, was cited. The perspective was presented as a mathematical proof; one that sought refutation. Old and New Testament passages, supporting the “passive” or “God’s elect” view were presented. Isaac’s Redemption and the Thief on the Cross were presented as two examples of redeemed individuals who only demonstrated faith, while finding themselves in a limited way.

Romans 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Isaac didn’t arrange for a ram to be found, caught in a thicket. The thief on the cross didn’t arrange things so that, on the day of his crucifixion, he would be hanging next to Christ. God justifies.
