Ye have built you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the Lord. Josh 22. Isa 1.

How could my hand rebel against my heart? How could your heart rebel against your reason?

For the lost Rebellion (sin) is a choice that results from having no relationship with the God of our creation. For the saved sin is an act of rebellion is a result of choice in the mist of having a relationship with the God who saves us. For the lost rebellion is natural for the saved it is unnatural.

Well, Lucifer was perfect until iniquity was found in him. His iniquity caused him to rebel against God. So if rebellion was preordained, then God caused Lucifer to sin,i.e put it in him.

So, rebellion is a choice that we make, and not placed in us by God.
