AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 8:29 For those whom He foreknew [and loved and chose beforehand], He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son [and ultimately share in His complete sanctification], so that He would be the firstborn [the most beloved and honored] among many believers. |
Subject: Free will and predestination co-exist? |
Bible Note: You say that we do not have free will, yet at Gen 5:24, we are told that "Enoch walked with God; and he was not for God took him". Please tell me, do you think that Enoch walked with God of his own free will, on not?. If he did not have a free will as you maintain, then this verse of Scripture is pointless. At Job 1:8, the LORD said that Job was "a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil". What is the point of the LORD saying this if Job did not have a free will ?. ebrain. |
