I have answered your question, but you ask it again. A choice is only a choice if more than one result is possible. If God knows I will choose to sin, I cannot choose not to sin. I do not think this is difficult to understand.

Yes the other women saw Jesus before Mary M.

I do not think your conclusions are valid. Did I say I did not choose because God knows what I will choose? Or did I say I did not choose because I had only one choice, which is a non-choice. Please address what I say. If I could choose something other that what God knows I will choose, then...

We have been through all this before, and you continue to avoid the issue. Did anyone say Mary Magdalene was with the women when they encountered Jesus? Nope. What scripture says is Mary Magdalene was with the women when they reported to the disciples. Thus the women saw Jesus before Mary...

Not just the "theory" of "WH" but of many English versions based on the CT.

I believe once saved, always saved, so I claim to be a one point Calvinist. And I believe people sin of their own volition, rather than sin because God predestined "whatsoever comes to pass."

Did anyone say God was pretending not to know? Nope. Please address the actual issue. Did anyone say God's omniscience is limited by our choices? Nope God seems to have limited His knowledge to provide us with actual choice. To the contrary, I believe if God knows what we will choose, then...

Please address what I post, rather than suggest false claims.

Yet another claim scripture does not mean what it says. Now I know indicates no prior knowledge.

Ever wonder why a certain group turns to against the person arguments, rather than addressing the doctrine at issue?

The Greek word "apo" (G575) refers to separation from something. You cannot separate, depart, or go from the foundation of the world before the foundation of the world exists. Yes, the word is mistranslated as "before" but the majority of translations of Rev. 13:8 go with from or since. (Only...

I am sorry, but Mark 13:20 clearly says the elect were chosen, but does not say being chosen is what made them "elect" or whether somehow, a person could be elect, and then chosen. This is like arguing about how many angels could dance on the head of a pin. Consider two translations of 1 Peter...

"From the foundation of the world" refers to "temporal" time.

First you are an open theist (or a partially open thiest) if you belief God has not predestined "whatsoever comes to pass." I know you claim God can know the future, yet some other future, not predestined by His perfect knowledge of what will happen, could happen. To my way of thinking that...

Let me add a little to this: Most of the anti-open theism arguments define open theism as complete, God neither knows the future, nor predestines the future, which of course is absolute malarkey. Lets refer to partially open theism, where God knows what He has chosen to know, past, present...

1) Yes, the names of those saved, those Jesus was addressing, had been in the past written in heaven. Absolutely no support for before creation. 2) Yes, the Word, Logos, The Second Person of the Trinity, was chosen to be the Lamb of God, the Redeemer, Before creation. Not at issue. 3)...

1) The sheep is vague, Christ laid down is life as a ransom for all. To deny this is to deny scripture. 2) Pure fiction, Jesus is speaking not to the lost, but only to those born anew. 3) It does, either God predestines everything or God does not, which is open theism. 4) No they do...

Below is the biblical basis for recognizing false claims being used to support false doctrine. 1) Does Luke 10:20 says when the names are written? Nope - so obfuscation on display. 2) What is the time span of "from the foundation of the world?" From creation, until today, and then on to the...

The people of Matthew 7 believed, yet were not saved. Soils #2&3 believed, yet were not saved. Only those credited with righteous faith are saved, thus all of God and none of people.
