This statement immediately brings forth the observation that although, according to Wesley, all are free, it is apparent that not all choose to trust Christ. That observation now raises a question that begs for an answer. If all are free, why do some come to Christ while others reject Him? The Arminian will certainly answer, "Because it is a matter of choice. All are free to choose however they wish." But surely that is too superficial and begs the real question. We must go deeper. Why is it that people make the choices that they do?

I enjoyed this article because the author asked the same question I have put to many..Why do some "choose " to come and not others??

A HUGE bump for the REAL meaning of "foreknowledge."

[Jean Chauvin]

"The biblical term, proginosko, does not carry with it only the meaning of simple advance knowledge or precognition. Rather, the term also carries with it the suggestion of intimate, personal knowledge, as well as the concept of selection or to determine upon."

"God does not say that He foreknew the decisions that individuals would make, but rather, He foreknew the individuals themselves."

Hmmmm....Mom? Haven't I heard these two statements somewhere before???

. Just checking.

Quite obviously, a great post!
