1 | ALL things? | 2 Tim 3:16 | srbaegon | 194107 | ||
Hello miller521, First, many people think predestination is fatalism where God determines everything about you and your life so that you have no choices. Not so with God as seen in Romans 8:29 (ESV) For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Here we are predestined in the end to be conformed to the image of the Son. No fatalism there. Second, all are born with a sin nature as a consequence of Adam's sin. I suppose God could interrupt that cycle, but then he would not be true to himself or his word. How someone exhibits the sin nature (the individual sins) is not predetermined by God but foreknown by him. He therefore works all things for good to those who love God. And God always has his final goal in mind--all things gathered together in the Son to his praise. Steve |

Well I see what you are saying, I guess we did get off topic here :) I am just trying to point out, that God sent his Word to teach us, and his Word is infallible and perfect. There is not even any need for him to steal from us in order to teach us. Though I must say, Romans 9 is a bit confusing at times. |
