Subject: Predestination |
Bible Note: Dear John...Thanks...I think I may be confusing predestination with election. Please tell me which statement would best describe your belief. 1)God knows before we are born the free choices that each man will make during his lifetime. Or 2)God, through His Holy Spirit, directs (not prompts)a man to choose Christ making him an elected. You may see my confusion :-) God Bless....Jensen |
