Bible Note: Hello, Bob, An interesting way of looking at predestination is to view God's will and His plan as separate. Simply put, His will is that we don't sin; he knew beforehand that we would. Knowing us intimately He was fully aware of what our every detailed deviation from His will would be. He then used this knowledge to work all things together … this working together He predestined. Therefore He planned all things without taking away our choice. Like you, I am always open to the viewpoints of others as long as they do not conflict with the foundation of Christ the Messiah. I pray that the Spirit gives you the revelation you desire. Your brother in the faith Justin |
