    Predestination; are fates set in some cases?

    But now after that ye are known of God...sounds like it was a point in time...but now... Your theology doesn't mesh with scripture. Here's another one. How does the Lord know who are his? 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them...

    Predestination; are fates set in some cases?

    The passage clearly states what God said he now knows...that Abraham feared God. How did God know that Abraham feared God? When God saw that Abraham was going to sacrifice his only son. Calvinist's have to play the word game to explain away the clear meaning of scripture. I'm not accusing...

    Predestination; are fates set in some cases?

    Yes, God has to know someone first before he predestinates them to be conformed to the image of his Son. That's the future adoption, the redemption of the body. The question is, when does God know a man as one of his? Galatians 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of...

    Predestination; are fates set in some cases?

    God saw and then he knew... Genesis 22 11 And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not...

    Predestination; are fates set in some cases?

    And yet, God allows man to make his own decisions as well. God's will is outlined in his word.

    Predestination; are fates set in some cases?

    Why not go through the bible and correct all the "mistakes" and gives us lowly people a perfect bible. The KJV is correct in both passages. Allow the bible to define such terms. I have no problem with Proverbs 16:33, God works things out according to his word, even when man is against it...

    Thanks for your opinion. Inspiration without preservation is useless.

    Predestination; are fates set in some cases?

    Do you understand this makes God a liar? Did God lie when he stated, "yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown"? Was it part of God's plan to lie to get them to repent?

    Predestination; are fates set in some cases?

    I'm only concerned with English. God never stated that he would preserve his word in multiple languages. Btw, if we had the "originals" would you ask that same question? Do you believe a translation can be the inspired word of God?

    Exactly! He deals with nations as they obey or disobey his word. If....then....

    Predestination; are fates set in some cases?

    You don't, that would make the individual the final authority on what God has said. We must trust that God has perfectly preserved his words for us today in one translation. If not, then none of the translations can be trusted as the word of God.

    The Glasgow razor boy and eternal security

    Where is this in scripture? Ephesians 6? I see the main reason the devil may attack Christians is to stop us from evangelizing the lost, preaching the gospel.

    Predestination; are fates set in some cases?

    Well, the scripture clearly states that God did not do what he said he was going to do. If you want to debate about semantics....I was going to do this, but I decided against that, and instead I did this...

    Predestination; are fates set in some cases?

    He repented of the evil that he said he would do unto them, and he did it not. That's a change of mind because God is mercy. They repented, so God repented. God did not destroy Nineveh in 40 days as he said he would.

    Acts 15 5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. 6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. 7 And when there had been much disputing...

    Galatians 2: 14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? 15 We who are Jews by...
