Doesn’t your Bible have that passage?
“Now listen! Today I am giving you a choice between life and death, between prosperity and disaster.”
It’s in Deuteronomy. God gives us a choice.
I am well aware of its appearance in Deut. The real question we must answer is, “Was that offer possible?” Could they have chosen between life & death? The balance of the Scriptures describe the answer as, “No, they could not have chosen after all.”
And, this leads precisely to the question Paul knew would be coming when he presented this extremely difficult proposition to his audiences, “You will say to me then, ‘How can He still find fault?’ for ‘Who can resist His will?’” Good questions. Go read Paul’s answer.
