NASB | Luke 8:13 "Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 8:13 "Those on the rocky soil are the people who, when they hear, receive and welcome the word with joy; but these have no firmly grounded root. They believe for a while, and in time of trial and temptation they fall away [from Me and abandon their faith]. |
Subject: Predetermined or Free Will |
Bible Note: Of course he chose us to be holy and blameless in him before the foundation of the world. His predestined plan for all believers is a life of holiness! "He chose us...to be holy..." Of course he predetermined that he would adopt those who accepted him out of his own kindness. He predestined us (created a pre-determined plan)...to be adopted. I don't see how this passage backs up fatalistic salvation? |
