Bible Note: With all due respect, you didn't address my post's content at all. Jeremiah 1:5 does not tell us that ALL are forewknown! It does not say, "I knew all humans." It says that he knew Jeremiah. If this passage is addressed to all of us, then are all humans also sanctified from the womb, and are we all ordained as prophets? Don't claim things that God spoke to individuals for yourself unless it is clear that God is speaking of a category to which you belong. In this case, He is clearly speaking to one man about him alone. By the way, where is Jeremiah's free will in this passage? Did he agree to be a prophet before he was in the womb? Doesn't it seem to you that God was 100 percent calling the shots here? This verse supports divine election much more than it does a free-will view. Thanks for your comments! Keep searching for truth. --Joe! |
