Subject: eph 1:4-5 what is predestination, chosen |
Bible Note: Hi Mark. You say. "but that God has give disfavor to Esau". Could you explain to me why you think God disfavors Esau? and please don't hide behind, "God is Sovereign, He can do just what He likes, He is answerable to no one." The problem here Mark is that if one maintains that it is impossible for any human to have "Merit", without Divine assistance, then one is in serious danger of miss representing the Lord.. What about those who do not have "Merit",, and end up in Hell, when they could not possibly have "Merit", in any case without His intervention? If on the other hand, not all humans are identical, but some (perhaps one percent, or even less), do have "Merit", then there is no problem. The Lord is not willing that any should perish,,, but broad is the way ect,ect. Shall not the judge of all the earth do right? Edwin. PS. This is not an easy subject, and I am well aware that I might not have used the best words to explain just what my understanding is. |
