I am of the opinion that God’s predestination towards us is that we are all to go to heaven and be with him for eternity. However, God has granted us free will and we have the ability to choose to live a life outside of God’s will. In effect, out choices trump what God intended or predestined for us.
It is because of our choices during life that we choose to go to hell ourselves. If we choose to repent (change out thinking) and accept Jesus as the atonement for our sins, we can take advantage of a grace that God has provided for us and still enter into heaven.
“In effect, out choices trump what God intended or predestined for us.”
Really? We are powerful enough to thwart the will of God?
“27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.”
John 10:27-29
Sorry, nothing trumps God. Nothing says what He wills will not come to pass. Nothing can stay His hand.
The Lord Jesus Christ, on this subject says "And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing John 6:39.
If man's will trumps God's then Christ would loose some, but He says He looses Nothing.
Sorry, God is omnipotent, He cannot be trumped.
