"Predestined is in the bible"

Then those same folks think healing and blessing are not. Too funny.


Psssst,error is error. Most all error contains truth in it somewhere.

Maybe we will call you guys error WOP. "Word of predestination" IOW,a "new" overemphasis of some groups pet piece of bible
Miraculous healing was in the bible. Where it isn't is in the Charismatic and WoF churches of today.

If by "the same folk" you mean me, then I say clearly that healing is in the Bible, also some blessings. What is your point?

Some people do not like that idea.
PennEd said that Jesus was the only predestined person ever...

God is the alpha and the omega the beginning and the end, all knowing, He knows what His plan is, for God planned it of coarse. He alone is the one who knows the predestined of coarse, there was only one predestined man who walked the earth that man was Jesus. Jesus knew who He was the Son of God, even at 12 years old He knew He came to do His Father's business.

Where does the Bible say that?Jesus was predestined but we are free? Is it not blasphemious?
I think he is speaking against pride of some boasting that they are elect and mocking others for not being elect...

the Rightous or the Elect don't boast or speak of, saying the following (I am a chosen one or predestined and your not or looking at others in such a manner is prideful IMO)

God predestined Jesus death, that is the gist of Acts 4....why is that an issue?
It is even " worse" than that. He was slain from the foundation of the world.

The " problem" is,we don't operate in that dimension,God does.

WOP doctrine claims to understand that dimension,center on their human understanding,make erroneous claims,mock and lampoon any challenger,and make that component their main deal.

It is error by emphasis.

They are blinded that the 2 coexist and overlap ( election vs free will)

Uhm... what? I quoted Acts, read it, there is "predestined" in it. No lies.
From the bible your using, that doesn't mean it's correctly worded. I posted difference bibles that show that.

I agree predestined is true but it's not for man to decide who is or who's not, this predestined thing as ended up being about who is going to heaven and who's going to hell. no sense in it, what God has predestined for His purpose and will and His alone not man.

What is it that you believe is predestined is it you are you one of the Elect?

Or that things that happen from the beginning to the end is part of His plan?

Reformed folks believe in a version of free will.

Just that without God folks chose to sin.

Predestination is predestination. That you want it also to be called fatalism is simply the propaganda being applied to Reformers. Sort of like repeating, "The Russians manipulated the Presidential election." If said often enough, maybe it becomes truth.
denying it over and over also will get you to the point that you believe it is not different, it is the same. (Which it is not)

thus your strawman goes both ways.

so do you have any proof? Or just your opinion?

Really?

When Jesus prayed in the garden over the cup passing by Him was that your incorrect use of the word predestined? Did Jesus make a choice to submit His will to the will of the Father? When Jesus submitted His will to the Father He received the predestination of all that was promised to Him through the Father.

I dont care. Because my point was "predestination is in the Bible". And thats all I say just now.

(shrugs) might be a caution...Paul wrote a lot of cautions on the Bible. Doesn't mean he is accusing someone of doing the actions, just that some might be tempted to fall into that snare.

Wolves definitely would in order to chase away and isolate those weaker sheep from the Body of Christ.

It is definitely there and I believe PennEd agreed.,...what it means. That might take more discussion.

Where? You never posted the end of the sentence.

I agree predestined is true but it's not for man to decide who is or who's not, this predestined thing as ended up being about who is going to heaven and who's going to hell. no sense in it, what God has predestined for His purpose and will and His alone not man.
Nobody says that I or somebody else decides who is predestined to what. So this note is not needed at all.

What is it that you believe is predestined is it you are you one of the Elect?
I do not understand this question.

Or that things that happen from the beginning to the end is part of His plan?
Sure.

Yeah...my message doesn't change...God doesn't teach folks by beating them up with words or encouraging gossip or backbitting or slander.

Folks can stand up for God's truth, reveal bad doctrine and teach people the wisdom and discernment to spot wolves without vitriol and name calling.

When someone honestly mistunderstands what is being said, they and you should take your own advice and say...

"I can see how you can take it that way, but what I really meant is _______" instead of accusing them of misrepresenting you and accusing them of slander, when it was your words that were unclear.

However I have found people give advice better than take their own advice.

Calling you Luciferian is over the line.

Implying anyone who finds your behavior and methods of accusing folks who don't agree with you as slanders, wolves, pelagianist, universalist, liars,etc is reprehensible and doesn't display Christian maturity even if your doctrine is right...your words are just loud cymbals without any love showing.

****

Matthew 23
3so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. 4They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear,a and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. 5They do all their deeds to be seen by others.
See,that is the deal. Paul rebuked Peter,but loved Peter.

Most false doctrine is birthed and incubated in the human mind,not Satan.

I have been called satanic here. In 40 years of walking with God this place is the only place I have found such silliness.

Predestined means God had a salvation plan for the world through Jesus life,

Jesus had a choice to follow or to reject the cup given to Him. He prayed that God take it away three times. God said No, Jesus accepted God's decision.

We have the same choice...accept God's plan for our lives or rebell and join Satan's army.

Miraculous healing was in the bible. Where it isn't is in the Charismatic and WoF churches of today.
I have to say, though healing appears to happen in some fellowships it is patchy.
I have read many testimonies of fellowships who believed the theology, but nothing
ever happened.

We had a young man come to our church from the Toronto blessing talking about
healing in the streets, in hospitals etc. except it was always an expectation that
never delivered.

This seems to be the pattern. Healings for back pain, leg pain, and minor ailments,
but very little for cancer or serious terminal illness, except in specific cases that
the Lord intervenes on. We are a charismatic baptist church.

I have heard too many who believe against what they see, and still they believe.
Gods will is set, and gifts of grace are rare. But this is much harder to accept than
the tap is always on we just need to apply it right. But give it 10 years and most wake
up and leave the church or change their position.

If you read the convo, you will see that even the simple claim "predestination is in the Bible" got some people to fight.

Jesus rebuked Peter and said "Get behind me Satan" when Peter tried to talk him out of dying on the cross.
