“If all has been predetermined, then so what?”

But you don’t know how or when that election is made known to the person. Paul says “how will they hear unless someone is sent?” That does not take away from election, it just speaks to the chosen means used to quicken it. It’s the old “if you don’t do it, someone else will” and then we must give an acount of our stewardship.

Your traditions of men are convoluted and non-Biblical.

What is that account?

And how are we called to account for our actions? If we are robot slaves, then we have nothing to account for. It is simply our programming.

How do you punish a computer for following the program that you programmed it to do?
