"Fate and Predestination": so, it is possible that a person could be fated (doomed) to be predestined for hell, and not be able to do a thing about it? If God has a person predestined for hell, then he's going to hell, no matter what? | ||||||

Welcome to the Forum! This is one topic that you will find no lack of posts on. I recommend that you go up to the quick search box at the right and type in words such as "elect," "election," and "predestination" to get an eyeful of both sides of this debate. Simply put, however, those not predestined for salvation will never want what it takes to be justified before a holy and just God. It is not just a question of inability; the non-elect DESIRES to refrain from true repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ's accomplished work on the Cross alone for salvation. --Joe! |

"...those not predestined for salvation will never want what it takes to be justified before a holy and just God..." (What someone on the forum said) Is there something directly in the Bible that states or agrees with this? Is this saying that God has made a list of those who will not/cannot come to him? Pardon the naivety but unless this is supported clearly somewhere in the Bible, then it is clearly just one of those utterances that seem to abound, concerning the plans and thinking of God. I'd certainly like to read this IN the Bible. |

I'd certainly like to read this IN the Bible." For the concept of human nature being disinclined toward God, Romans 3:10-18. For passages which say where Jesus addresses who will/can come to Him or believe Him: John 6:37-40,44,65 John 10:25-30 Matthew 11:27 Luke 10:22 God's sovereign choice (without our consultation): Ephesians 1:4,11 Romans 8:28-30 Romans 9:18-24 Mathhew 13:10-16 There are many,many more, but that is a start. --Joe! |
