Subject: Why would we be undone? |
Bible Note: Kalos, this statement seems to be saying you believe in predestination. Do you actually believe we don't have a very real and genuine opportunity to direct our lives and the ultimate place for our eternal souls? I must admit I believe very strongly against such a concept. If we were predestined from the very begining, there wouldn't be any real point to our being created. In my mind, there wouldn't be anything very glorious about God creating a bunch of beings who have already been "pigeon holed" into their ultimate destination for eternity. Why would God want to send His Son to save us from our sins when he clearly knows that the majority won't accept this gift of salvation? Yes, I know He predicts the "broad and wide gate" to Hell but I don't think He's already eliminated our option to go there if we choose to. I do hope to hear that this is an erroneous conclusion on my part and that you don't really believe in predestination. If you do believe in predestination, I do hope you are basing your belief in more scriptures than what you've offered here. Almost everything depicted in Revelation is so difficult to interpret correctly since so much of it is figurative and/or symbolic for something else. God bless. --Rowdy |
