    Predestination VS Free Will

    Yet we are all born blind. Someone born blind can only see and know darkness. Not much of a choice for that poor person. But if by some luck they gain a fraction of sight and therefore light, they could head towards it and follow it. Where does this 'luck' come from? Is it purely random?

    Predestination VS Free Will

    So our daily life has no bearing on our destination? As this has been predetermined. Are our rewards and treasure in heaven predetermined or not? The kings and priests who reign with King Jesus in His 1000 year kingdom are predetermined or predestined for these roles? As we will be rewarded...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    Unless it's God's will Who said, I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. But God Himself creates evil. Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Are you saying...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    So the Creator determines a destination for some but not all? Like the elect, to reign with His Son for 1000 years in His coming kingdom? And the rest, according to their free will willingly choose their own destination, which ends up not being in Jesus kingdom? Help us out here. Do you mean...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    Maybe Rahab was the exception. Only her and her family were shown mercy and received grace from the God of Israel. Even though she was a lying pagan prostitute who deserved to be stoned on at least 2 of these accounts according to God's law. Yes she had the ability to choose (exercise her...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    What if there is a longer term plan where the outcome is all good in the future, in the coming ages. As was the case with the coming of the Messiah as you said. Now I get God had nations killed, and children put to death within those nations to protect Israel, in order for the birth of the...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    Maybe you are refering to the God of Israel commanding Joshua to have His people kill men, women and children over and over again throughout Canaan. Some may find it challenging to get their head around this. To reconcile or justify the actions of a God Who had devised such a plan and...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    Did they quote Zech 14: 1 & 2 A day of the Lord is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls. I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    So the script is written with no imagination? With faceless actors at the time of writing? And with the angels, were they non-descript, unidentified actors when their Creator wrote His script? Was every acting position vacant and at what point were they filled? What was the criteria? Michael...

    Predestination/God's Eternal Plan

    So God has predestined a few for reconciliation according to election and predestined the rest to the lake of fire according to rejection? This being according to His plan, will and script?

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Again, I recognise that it is difficult for others to comprehend that someone can live their life in Christ being led by the Holy Spirit into all truth that proceeds from the mouth of God be it found in the scriptures or way beyond it. I was challenged by this in my infancy of faith when I...

    Ok. So not just voices in his head as some mockingly accuse. Thanks for clarifying that.

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Absolutely. I share the gospel of Christ's kingdom. And I share the gospel of the kingdom of our Lord so that people may believe. I hope it produces repentance, belief, faith, and sanctification. And the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in Heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of...

    And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. So are you going to join those who in John's time and ever since accused him of hearing voices...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    To the contrary. This book/scroll of John has influenced my thinking, belief and hope more than any other book in the bibles. I'm glad God had him record this revelation. Equally I'm glad God gave me the revelation of what He intends to do in ages beyond what John recorded. I don't know what...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    I guess that the lake of fire is only mentioned in 1 book in the bible. And this book was omitted, added, removed and added again numerous times. So therefore are you saying that this idea of the lake of fire is questionable?

    You have a good point. Point taken. Thanks for the encouragement to love one another as love is from our Father in heaven and the fruit of His Spirit in us.

    What's God's word to YOU about getting or not getting vaccinated my friend? Forget the demons. We aren't interested in what they have to say unless you are. You refer to them a LOT.

    Please tell me what your God is saying to you about taking the Covid 19 vaccine? The church world wide was and is still effected and divided over this. If God had spoken to the prophets or any others who contributed to the scriptures they didn't write it down. So Jack, what did God specifically...
