What is the doctrine of predestination and is it legitimate Christian doctrine? |

Hello Tpaine, Biblical description of Predestination has to do with the provision of God for BELIEVERS only, which He had provided in eternity past, for the believer to fulfil His plan for thier lives (Rom 8: 28 - 29), Eph 1:5, 11. It in no way connotes that God coerces human freewill, neither does it mean that God chooses who goes to hell, like I said, 'Predestination' is for believers only. Two aspects of God's knowledge are refered to in the Bible as 'foreknowledge' and 'omniscience'. The former refers to 'His knowing' of an event without His active participation, just passive, i.e, without intruding on human volition, He knows what decision everyone will take, but he does not force that decision. He knows all 'iffy' stories also, such as, 'what if Hitler had conquered the western alliance', 'what if your mum did not marry your dad' ![]() |

SHALOM! XAVALIER has achieved a QUANTUM LEAP in Understanding in realizing that PREDESTINATION applies to BELIEVERS ONLY. Eventually, he should get to The Truth that PAUL LIED- and the Teaching is NOTHING but a PHARISEE JUSTIFICATION. That all their WICKED CHOICES are GOD'S FAULT for PREDESTINATING them into doing those things. |
