AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:3 Among these [unbelievers] we all once lived in the passions of our flesh [our behavior governed by the sinful self], indulging the desires of human nature [without the Holy Spirit] and [the impulses] of the [sinful] mind. We were, by nature, children [under the sentence] of [God's] wrath, just like the rest [of mankind]. |
Bible Question (short): Dear John: Is it possible? |
Question (full): Dear John: Is it possible to change? Do you believe that you were pre-ordained to believe what you believe? If so, it seems it will not be possible for you to change your mind. In the same manner, do you think that the people who believe something different from you were pre-ordained to believe what they believe? If so, it will not be possible for them to change. Please ponder these things seriously and tell us. If your beliefs are preordained and set, and if the same is true of others, then is there any purpose to this discussion? |
