Quick question. Why does this matter? I don’t believe in the Elect and predestination. You do. We are aligned on basically everything except that. To go back to the analogy of the train.
I believe that the train (church) is predestined to achieve something and go somewhere. I believe we personally have a choice to get on board and to stay on board. I believe we can get off the train as well.
You believe that each person is that train and that it’s destined to go somewhere. Correct?
Because you joined a sideline discussion of predestination at post #90 is the reason we began discussing it.
If you mean, "Why is this important to me?", then:
1. It's a positive thing for bible believers to sharpen their bible understanding with each other. (as iron sharpens iron...)
2. It's good to have an accurate understanding of the Bible.
3. It's good to have a correct view of God.
