Those he foreknew he predestined.

There's that one.

This is basic stuff, Jean. This is Arminius' very first point. You're just playing games, so.....whatever.

"Those he foreknew he predestined. There's that one. "

THOSE he foreknew!!!!

The Apostle Paul, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit wrote down in the infallible Word of God that God foreknew ~PEOPLE~, not people's "choices".

Furthermore, it is only the people that God "foreknew" that were predestined. By implication, we know that there were people who God did not "foreknow". This is confirmed by the explicit testimony elsewhere in Scripture that there are those "workers of iniquity" that God "never knew"!!!

Matthew 7

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

By definition, God cannot "foreknow" someone he "never knew"!!!

Once again, you have demonstrated that you need to twist the wording of the Scriptures to make things "fit".

"This is basic stuff, Jean. This is Arminius' very first point. You're just playing games, so.....whatever."

It appears that it is you and Arminius who are playing the [word] games.

Again, you have demonstrated my point that you need to twist the words of Scripture to make things "fit" your "Free-Will" philosophical paradigm.
