Please be sure to make it clear that a"yes" vote does not necessarily mean that they believe in predestination.

I hadn't really thought about it being considered predestination, I'll have to think about that.Thanks Becky

So Becky, when the Bible uses the word "predestined" what does it mean if it doesn't mean predestined? The note in my Scofield Bible says this (among other things): "The Biblical truth of predestination raises difficult intellectual problems, but these cannot be escaped by rejecting predestination and affirming foreknowledge. For, if God foreknows all events, then they are just as certain as if they were predestined."

We cannot just dismiss the truth of Scripture ot of hand because we don't like the idea. Either you believe it all or you don't. I'm not trying to be harsh or difficult and I'm sure that I'll get flak from others here, but the Bible says it and we have to believe God's Word totally, not just the parts I want to believe. Do I have it all figured out? Certainly not, and anyone else who tells you that they do is blowing smoke IMO. Just something for you to cogitate on.
