True. Faith is given to all men that hear, not just those selected at creation to receive it.
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. (Mark 4)
All that hear receive the word into their hearts. Not all choose to keep the faith of Jesus.
Let me clarify. There is predestination of what those that believe must do to be saved. Predeterminism of who will believe is false.
I.e. you have not response to the challenge.
This makes no sense. He draws all men proves all men are created to be drawn of God. Not all men choose to come to Him, that they might be saved. God does not create some men to resist Him. The first man Adam was not the first one preselected for rebellion. And since all men have sinned as Adam, then all men would be preselected for rebellion, and none were ever prechosen for faith.
Predestinating who will do what, teaches the devil is the creator of all men to rebel against God, since all men have done so.
This is lip service rubbish. There is no fair in creating some to be sheep and some to be goats, and then God calls and draws all just show who he created to be sheep and who He created to be goats.
All souls of men are created by God, and come into the world lightened by Christ. All are His souls and fertile soil to please Him at creation and coming into the world. When men choose to sin against Him, the soul dies and the soil dries out.
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. (Rev 4)
No man is created for the good pleasure of God to condemn forever. Your doctrine is a false accusation against the true God, that first loved all men by creating all men equally good in His image.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Gen 1)
God never creates any creature bad and evil. Not Lucifer, nor Adam, nor any man coming into the world.
Yes, I reject your false doctrine against God the Creator of all things good. It's time for you to say God creates some men bad and evil. Otherwise, your doctrine is only theoretical and false.
He already knows who. Not already determined who.
No soul is missing anything from creation and birth. The question is what did they cast away. They cast away the goodness of God's image created with, and the light of Christ lightened with.
Because they did not want to be chosen of the true God that is love, but chose to be gods themselves. The same as Adam.
If you believe some men are predestined and created differently from other men, then one of those letters is yours.
One of those letters is yours. It's not HOW God prechooses, because he doesn't prechoose. It's only how He knows who will be chosen and who will not. The Father foreknows who will and who won't, because the Word watches to see who will and who will not. God chooses them He sees choosing to believe Him and not other gods. The choice is made at that time, not before.
