    everything is predestined?

    All great verses you posted. Maybe you took my post in a wrong manner. Yes, God has complete control over all things, but he is not controlling all things. Many things happen that is not pleasing to him. Will his end desire come to pass as we read in scripture? Absolutely. Not all things...

    everything is predestined?

    God may have ultimate dominion over of all things, but this doesn't mean that God is controlling all things. God's purpose will ultimately happen in the end as we read in Revelation 21-22, but many things that occur in daily life are not pleasing to him.

    Contradictions in the Bible?

    Your NASB has a contradiction. Who did Elhanan kill? Did he kill Goliath or his brother? 2 Samuel 21:19 And there was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. 1...

    Contradictions in the Bible?

    But remember, the writers were not always present at the events. The Holy Spirit inspired what they wrote. There is a reason the Holy Spirit did not include some information that was not in other accounts.

    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    It is finished. Jesus satisfied God’s required payment for sin for the whole world and whosoever would believe would have the blood of Jesus applied to them. 1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

    Scripture is more sure of being an eyewitness. 2 Peter 1: 16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there...

    I have the completed, holy word of God. The Lord does not have additional truth I need to hear. He desires that I read, study, and put into practice his word.

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    I have the pure and perfect word of God to define adoption. The Holy Spirit used the word adoption. It is the context of predestination, not salvation. I already have salvation, but I’m waiting on the adoption, that is, the redemption of the body.

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    Scripture gets everything right. I'm just allowing scripture to define itself not a RCC priest. 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, Question: What is the adoption? The adoption is the future...

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    Not one person is predestined to be in Christ. One does not become predestined until they first trust the gospel and placed in Christ. Once in Christ, God predestines the believer unto the future adoption which is the redemption of the body. Btw, Eve was not predestinated to be in Adam.
