1 | Predestination vs free will--a thought.. | Bible general Archive 1 | bcbloyd | 1308 | ||
Just a bit of logical reasoning about the issue of "predestination" vs "free will." I've seen many who question as an either-or proposition a person's fate by God's "predestination" with a person's "free will" to determine his/her own fate. I don't think these things are contradictory and I can't help but consider how this may be applied to Jesus, himself. I mean the Bible points to the fact his fate on the cross was predetermined (See Isaiah 53:5)--God knew what would happen and gave that information to the prophets, such as Isaiah, centuries in advance--and yet, Jesus still had the free will to sacrifice himself on the cross. (See John 10:18) So, I think the same applies to us. God KNOWS who will and will not follow Him in advance--thus, in that sense our fates are predestined--but, the choice is still ours to freely make, just as it was with Jesus. Would anyone else like to comment on this? |

I don't know what kind of comment you are looking for, i am new at this, but can you imagine, knowing full well what is in store for you, the ridicule, beatings, torture, suffering and death, all for an ungrateful race of people, who can't stand the sight of your face, and to love God so much to be obediant to Him unto death, THAT IS LOVE, it is awsome, He is awsome. Peace be with you my friend | ||||||
