1 | Predestination | Eph 1:4 | Jensen | 41796 | ||
Dear John....Thanks for your quick reply. Just like the fat man said when he crawled under the barb wire fence "Just one more point and I will be through" God does not react to what He discovers in the book (analogy.) He is a Player also. And He knows what each little part will be played out. OR you may not believe, as I do, that God knows what the final outcome will be. I can not argue predestination because I deny it's existance....as understood by our contemporaries. And here is why. Predestination eliminates any chance at all that we come to Christ freely since Predestination would be a plan for our lives. Just like the machines we invent. A lawnmower will always be a lawnmower. The lawnmower is predestined. It will never make the choice to be a hedgetrimmer. Predestination does not exist, can't, never will. OR freewill does not exist, can't, never will. I go with the former :-) It just makes sense to me. God Bless....Jensen |

2 | Predestination | Eph 1:4 | Reformer Joe | 41824 | ||
Jensen: You wrote: "Predestination does not exist, can't, never will. OR freewill does not exist, can't, never will. "I go with the former :-) It just makes sense to me." Well, better you go by what makes sense to you than what the Bible may teach on the subject! :) If only *I" had one of God's incredible "time tunnels"! Then I could really understand how God lets His creation be sovereign over His "choices." --Joe! |

3 | Predestination | Eph 1:4 | Jensen | 42344 | ||
Dear Joe...Thanks...I am finding this one a bit sticky and I know I came to the discussion late. So.....Which is it?...1)God foreordains a man to come to Christ and he does. Or 2)A man chooses to come to Christ and God knew that he would. Do you see my confusion? I am trying to reconcile predestination and freewill. I can't seem to do it (understand the scripture?) God Bless....Jensen |
