Subject: eph 1:4-5 what is predestination, chosen |
Bible Note: Hi Mark. You say. "I believe God is fair, and I likewise believe that none have merit. I think God intervenes in each of our lives, and we have a choice to make, whether to accept His intervention, or reject it". If I understand you correctly, you are saying that the "Human Race", is de vided into two groups, those who will accept, and those who won't, if this is the case, please explain. "Rom 3:11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God". And now "Election". 1Th 1:4 knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God. Please explain for me the difference between "election by God", and "predestination by God", or could they both be the same. If the Lord our God has "Elected" an individual to be saved, how can you say that He has not also "Predestined" that same person to be saved? I agree that we are dealing with two different words, but surely both are part of the same process? Every blessing. Edwin. |
