Subject: Have we chosen freely? |
Bible Note: No. You come to my house because you have heard about what is happening there and you want to partake. You have chosen to come all by yourself. Just because I know your coming does not nulify your free choice to come. This is the answer to what you wrote "Does God's already knowing our choice mean we haven't freely chosen?" In my analogy I already know the choice you have made yet YOU still made the choice of your own free will. SEE? The other is about election and chosen. Which is used in connection with predestination. Ask yourself this "Would God go through all this if it was already set what would happen. I mean in the individual sense. |
