Since God is all knowing, He knows everything from the very beginning, including those who will believe and obey the Gospel. Every hair on every head is numbered, and every sparrow is counted and known. Who can fathom God's omniscience and divine foreknowledge?Do you all think God knows who will chose Him and who will not?

4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In loveL5 He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
Jesus in John15:16,"You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you....
If God is not in control, which god is in control.
Then your argument goes out the window.I'm not repeat,NOT saying He is not in control
What's the purpose of this life if He already knows,that IMO would be a cruel God and that I know my Father is not...
Then your argument goes out the window.
If God choose who will be saved it means he saves those who had not chosen themselves to be saved.
Freewill what freewill does a slave have. A slave cannot free himself.
It is God who chose us. It is God who saves us and it is God who enables us to continue to follow Jesus.
Picture a toddler, 'helping' Daddy wash the car. All that happens is a little dirt gets moved and the toddler has fun getting soaked while playing with Dad.
We are like that toddler, we think we are helping but regarding our salvation we do nothing and contribute nothing.
Wouldn't be much of a God if He didn't huh? The very definition of omniscience is all knowing.Do you all think God knows who will chose Him and who will not?

I recently discovered that our names are already written in the Book of Life....and that it can be blotted out in the OT...from the foundation of creation....but the NT changes it to The Lamb's Book of Life. So now I have to study this in depth. Because it has a lot of implications that can be misunderstood if not rightly divided by truth.Wouldn't be much of a God if He didn't huh?

Charitie Less Bancroft got this Scriptural sentiment right when she wrote:I recently discovered that our names are already written in the Book of Life....and that it can be blotted out in the OT...from the foundation of creation....but the NT changes it to The Lamb's Book of Life. So now I have to study this in depth. Because it has a lot of implications that can be misunderstood if not rightly divided by truth.
Not sure what verse youre thinking about. But Rev 3 saysI recently discovered that our names are already written in the Book of Life....and that it can be blotted out in the OT...from the foundation of creation....but the NT changes it to The Lamb's Book of Life. So now I have to study this in depth. Because it has a lot of implications that can be misunderstood if not rightly divided by truth.
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 22:19; Ex. 32: 32-33Not sure what verse youre thinking about. But Rev 3 says
If we are in Christ, we have overcome. The verse says our names will not be blotted out, not that they will.
I think Revelation 22.19 is saying that the behavior mentioned is not the mark of a true believer in any case...Revelation 22:19; Ex. 32: 32-33
Wouldn't be much of a God if He didn't huh? The very definition of omniscience is all knowing.
What, Christians are those who have studied. You are seriously mistaken and are teaching falsehood.Now we know exactly who we are talking about, "the chosen" of God, those few that are called the elect, who will have studied and known the truth of the events of the end of this age, and have the courage to prevent themselves from being deceived
Those souls that are brought back to live their life in the flesh body in this earth age
