2 | What do you mean by predestined? | Romans | hobbs | 171228 | ||
Dear RS, I agree that God knows all things. I also know that He placed a curse on Adam and upon Adam's decendents. The direct result of God's curse was physical and spiritual death. 1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised The condition of "natural man" describes our condition prior to our spiritual re-birth. Not only did we not believe, Paul said we could not believe! How can a man believe what he considers to be foolishness? Jesus told Nicodemus that unless a man be born again, that no man could see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3) Therefore, when we present the gospel to the lost we rely not on our skill or our ability to persuade, or even on the listener's attitude, but on the Holy Spirit's power to bring life to the dead. John |

Rich, This may help answer your question. Faith is the greek word pistis- Faith,faithfulness,belief, trust,with an implication that actions based on that trust may follow;"the faith"often refers to the Christian system of belief and lifestyle. (Zondervan NIV Exhaustive Concordance) The greek word pistis is an action verb. Faith always involves action. Check out James 2:14-20. We had to have faith or none of us would be diciples of Jesus Christ today. Question:Is it faith if we dont do anything with it? In Christ, lionheart |
