There always seems to be a dilemma when
predestination is brought up.
Yet if we examine Scripture closely...
Men DO have the Liberty to CHOOSE...
To hear, to believe, to keep hearing, to walk away.
So what exactly are they "believing"?
The WORD of God, which is Simply;
Knowledge....not understanding of the knowledge.
And, Our All knowing God, who knew us BEFORE we were born, BEFORE we know of ourselves......WHAT?
KNEW the thoughts in our hearts.
He KNEW every thought, every thing about us that we would do, choose, like, dislike, say, think....Everything.
God does not randomly and Unconditionally CALL MANY ... put things in the PATH of MANY to come and Hear His Word.
He CALLS MANY....not ALL.
So why didn't He ONLY call a FEW, since He will only have a FEW that will CHOOSE Him, and He already knows this from the foundation of the earth.?
I believe....just as BEFORE we were born as now...some have not yet heard...and some just don't get it .... sit on the fence post, being a respectable person, kind, generous, follows all the "rules", doesn't cause grief among men....but yet? Has never delved into the Word of God...sort of like, eh, maybe there is a God...but "IDK", so I just try to do what is right.
The "unknowing", the "
", are reachable IMO. The adamant against God, I believe were those that no way would believe, as God knew us before we were created.
Inanutshell- predestination is God already knowing our Choices, and Him calling US.
And then IN OUR OWN natural WE calling ON Him to Confess our Belief IN Him.
Nothing "NEW" under the sun. The whole scenario has already occurred....We simply WAIT to SEE it unfold and come to pass.
God Bless,
