Question about Common Grace
Do you believe in common grace? Why or why not?
I talked to a brother of Christ who does not believe there is one, and his argument is pretty convincing. He said that the “mercies” that are being given to the reprobates are for condemnation, so you couldn’t call that grace. And all the good things being showered to Earth is for the good of the saints, and not all people so their participation is only incidental/divinely permitted. Lastly, the most convincing one that he told me is all blessings are due to our union with Christ, no one mediates with reprobates so you couldn’t really reconcile the idea of common grace.
Do you have articles or books that I can dive to study it further?
