Featured No such thing as "free will"

I know you are trying to make some point but what is it. Do you think I do not know that God is sovereign. You just want to make God subservient to your theology.

Deal with the verses that I posted, respond to them.

 

God wrote the names of those he'd save in his Lamb's Book of Life before he created the world where the fall would occur and sin enter so that humankind would need saving.

 

Oh so you think you believed on your own and that is what saved you? Got it, works based salvation. Humanism.

 

Do you believe it is the will of God for all to be saved? Yes or no?

 

No. If you know God is sovereign you wouldn't ignore scripture that tells you he predestined all things.

Bible prophecies are proof of predestination.
The Lord's prayer invokes predestination.

 

No just doing what the bible say we should do when we hear the gospel. Man has to make a choice reject or believe and we then have to deal with the consequence of our choice. Don't you believe the bible?

 

Well since God desires all to be saved as per
1Ti 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
1Ti 2:4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
What do you think I would say?

You have such a struggle with scripture. Just trust what the text says.

 

For someone that claims not to be a calvinist you sure have fallen into their mindset. So God predestined all the sin and evil in the world. That is an interesting point of view. You do not have much respect for the character of God it would seem.

From what you are posting it is obvious that you have not thought it through to its logical conclusion. If God predestined all things, that excludes nothing. Think that through, it is not a pretty picture.

 

If you studied the scriptures thoroughly you'd know more than to think predestination is an invention unique to Calvinism.

About 27% of the Bible is prophecy.
Prophecy is predeterminism, predestination.

Surprise!

 

Surprise, I do not think calvinism invented predestination. Believe it or not it's in the bible. The more you post the more you post like a calvinist. Have you been taking lessons?

 

Baiting is the sign of a tragic life.

I'll leave you alone in your ways now .

 

Ephesians 1:11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,

What Does the Bible Say About God Ordains All Things?

 

Not baiting anyone, but you do seem to think you can do that. Not working though. Have a good nite.

 

Still don't get it do you? Your view makes God the author of all things, good and bad. How can you keep missing that?

 

(Offers Aspirin)

You shall never reach those God has hardened with regard to this matter.

Prophecy in scripture is God's predestination of the future.
The hardened are unaware. We cannot enlighten what God shuts out.

Acts of the Apostles 4:27 for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, 28 to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.
