Subject: Which proposition is scriptural? |
Bible Note: John, You said: "...If "foreknew" simply means that... God knew ahead of time who would choose Him, that means we would have elected God. ..." "...that means we would have elected God. ..."??? This is why we must consider "ALL" scripture together ("...Scripture cannot be broken" John 10:35 and "....It is written again..." Matt 4:7). How can we come to a strict conclusion for "election" or "choice" when the scriptures clearly teach both? "As you know elected means chosen, as in "God's chosen people"." To reconcile all of the scriptures "...elected means chosen...", by foreknowledge. (Rom 8:29) John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. By strict election this might as well read "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever "He chose" shall not perish, but have eternal life." John 10:35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), Matthew 4 7Jesus said to him, "It is written again, "You shall not tempt the LORD your God."'
