predestined to salvation through our free will?
That is so utterly silly it is hilarious.
Predestination is a sovereign decree. Look it up.
It could not be dependent upon our decision-making....PARTICULARLY SINCE WE ARE DEAD TO SIN AND OUR ONLY CHOICE WOULD BE DEATH!
I must have touched a nerve in my last post. You've gone from debating your viewpoint to making mocking comments by calling me silly/hilarious. Your whole theology is based on a half dozen scriptures that use the word predestinate, while you willfully igore and cannot refute the few of many that I've quoted that clearly state otherwise. Defend your predetermined "faith". Sorry. Heaven isn't a closed list country club. God is still taking new members.
