1 | predestination - free will or God | John | 11862 | |||
We are studying Ephesians 1:5,11 predestination. The pastor said, "the Holy Spirit quickens a man so he can hear the call but man has the free-will to say YES or NO to the offer of salvation." in John 6:37,39 Jesus says ALL the Father gave Him will be saved, that He will not lose any of them. in Eph.2:8-9, Paul says "...faith, a gift of God, not of works..." it seemed to me that God chooses which of us He wants and He gets us. He is sovereign. when i asked (one on one, outside of class) the pastor to explain, he refused, said he didn't want to talk about it now. i then gave him a list of verses which i thought supported God's supremacy and asked for verses from him which supported man's free will. nothing in response after 2 weeks. if any of you believe man has a free will to say NO to God regarding salvation, please give me some verses. |

2 | predestination - free will or God | John | Searcher56 | 11879 | ||
Jim, God does predestine (Rom 8:30) ... but, we still have a call on His name to be saved (10:13). If you are a Christian, he chose you. He chose me. However, we do not know who else He has choosen. So someone needs to be sent to them to preach, so they can hear, then believe, finally call on Him (10:15-13). Steve |
