As I've said in other posts - predestination/election is very much misunderstood.
Deu 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:
therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
The "choose" is obviously with in our "power" otherwise the statement above becomes meaningless.
Does anybody know what the meaning of meaningless is??....
