What I’m talking about isn’t choosing someone for a particular mission or purpose. I do believe that; what I do not believe is that God picks out certain ones to be SAVED. That’s OUR choice. We can either press into God or move away from Him. I don’t believe He selects the elect to be saved.
What would you say makes you uncomfortable with the idea that God really makes the choice? I mean, He made us, He owns us. If He is the potter, why shouldn't He be able to determine what is to become of us?
