1 | How does foreknowledge preclude free? | Gen 6:6 | srbaegon | 118591 | ||
Hello Dan, You said: "I would interpret Jesus statement at Luke 10:13 as hyperbole, in the sense of Luke 18:25" and then gave an explanation based from your theological view rather than let the text speak for itself making your assumption invalid. Concerning Abraham, you asked: 1. "Would God have made that statement if he knew in advance that Abraham would obey this command?" I don't see why not. It's a statement of assurance in Abraham's faith spoken for his benefit. 2. "Would it have been an honest test?" Definitely. Tests are designed to prove the character of the person (1 Cor 10:13; James 1:2-4; 1 Pet 1:6-7). Concerning Gen 18:20-21: Again this was stated for another's (Abraham) sake. God gave Abraham an opportunity to show his heart by interceding for the cities on behalf of any righteous. Let's face facts. The only Scripture which you can possibly consider using is Gen 6:6-7. All the others deal with God explaining His actions for the benefit of men. Again I quote: "Here again, this indicates that man’s actions are not predestined by God." And, yet, I showed you a passage in Acts that stated otherwise. How is this resolved? Steve |

Have you ever read about the contributions that belief in evolution has made to the inhumane treatment man has heaped upon his neighbors? I feel belief in predestination has yielded similar fruitage. Might makes right - the U.S. is the greatest, so it is his instrument. I'll continue worshiping my God and I'm sure you'll continue worshiping your's. Let's leave it at that. |

Hello Dan, Your response is typical of those who cannot respond to the truth. Steve |
