So what determines how we think? Our environment has the biggest say in this, as far as I can see. I am talking about who our parents are, when and where we are born, who our associates are, etc.
Hi FHII,
Acts 17:24-28
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Simply stated, God chose when and where we would live, so that we would look for Him.
None of this would make sense if He had predestined us to be saved.
Much love!
