Subject: Retain or forgive sins? |
Bible Note: Hi Doc. Mark 4:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. These are the words of Christ to the Disciples, Jesus was saying to them. I'm hiding the truth in plane sight, because if they could understand, they would believe. Doesn't that contradict the doctrine, (Teaching ) of predestination? Seems like it puts it into the area of choice? God (Jesus) was acting, to hinder them from, an ability, "to move on their own"?
