Taken out of Context, SIns of the Father maybe for us the followers but not for the children of SATAN. Sorry Gues im in the minority here because I dont believe salvation was for all and I dont believe that all of us have free will I believe some are THE ELECT and their lives are predetermined for a certain path to be the one's who stand strong in the END times to stand up to SATAN and to try and to lead the mislead from SATAn's reign in the end. 2/3 will fall away and the time will be shortened and if it was'nt for the elect that truley know GOD's word in the end then even more would perish.

Maybe thats what satan "wants" you to think.

Mathew 22:8
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

Do you invite unworthy people to your celebration? No, you invite those that you deem worthy. What happened that the invited guests were suddenly not worthy? What caused them to "lose" their places at the wedding?

Luke 12
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

Sure doesn't look predetermined. I think predetermined just means that God knows our chices in advance, not that God takes our free will away.
