AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 1:4 just as [in His love] He chose us in Christ [actually selected us for Himself as His own] before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy [that is, consecrated, set apart for Him, purpose-driven] and blameless in His sight. In love |
Subject: Predestination |
Bible Note: Dear Joe...Thanks...I am finding this one a bit sticky and I know I came to the discussion late. So.....Which is it?...1)God foreordains a man to come to Christ and he does. Or 2)A man chooses to come to Christ and God knew that he would. Do you see my confusion? I am trying to reconcile predestination and freewill. I can't seem to do it (understand the scripture?) God Bless....Jensen |
