Subject: How do I make sense of the context? |
Bible Note: Joe -- I have a question for you. (Please keep in mind that I am only 2 years old in Christ and still spiritually immature, but have a tremendous desire to learn). Intellectually, and in my heart - after careful study, I agree with your position on predestination. I was wondering if the issue has ever been approached from this perspective: We are adoptive children of God, correct? Isn't it true that adoptive children are chosen by their parents and not the other way around? Thanks for taking the time to respond. cwade |
