You gave scriptures on choice and I do not deny there is choice..I address why we choose the way we do...would you answer my question? Please?? :>))
You still have not answered my simple question X If God saves us only because He loves us why does he not save all of mankind..Does He love some of mankind more than others?
These scriptures address the issue of choice..Why is God's Grace sufficent for some and not for others? If God has perfect foreknowlege He could easily see that every man has the necessary grace and circumstances to choose Him
Why would he withhold that grace when it is within His power to give it? Is that not predestination to damnation?
Indeed everything God created is good..but that begs the question..why did god put the tree into the garden with the command not to eat from it? did not god know that they were going to break his command?
Genesis 6:6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.
Do you really think that the God of the Universe "repents" like a man ? Do you really think the sinless perfect God can make a mistake and has changed His mind? That verse is an "anthropomorphism"
