Don't know, assume no? You have no reason no justification for uncertainty about something so obvious as not choosing the time in history in which you would be born. You have nothing to support your pre-existence, except for pre-existing in the mind of God, that is in His thoughts, you had no being or existence in time as we count time.
I'll take this as an admission you don't know either.
Conceptual reality and materialized reality differ. I think you're a bit off kilter in reading Jeremiah. But I'll avoid the rabbit trail.
For lurkers, here is what he is scurrying away from
4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Evidently you completely missed or choose to ignore the points. There's actually a couple of points to the particular question you responded to. 1.) no, you did not choose, 2.) you were completely dependent on your parents to change your diapers. Your response does not follow from the question.
I thought I said I did not know? If you claim to know something, out with it.
So you know, if you do the homework, you'll realize that Calvinists do not deny people make choices. Most people, Calvinists and non, will agree our choices are a.) limited and b.) conditioned (by experience) and the role of c.) desires to the choices of the will.
The issue is the big choice in life...accepting Jesus or not. Never mind the rest for now. If someone claims that people are destined regardless of choice for heaven or hell, then our choice to accept the gift of Christ is not conditioned or limited!
It takes nothing away from God to realize that He created man to be in His likeness and have choice. It takes away from Him something fierce to claim He doomed people to hell with no choice in the matter.What you fail to acknowledge is: a.) the immutability of God, and b.) the omniscience of God, and how these relate to choices, not just choices of beings other than God, but the free will choices of God, and the sovereignty of God's choices over the choices of other beings. Rather you hold the choices of other beings, creature choices in sovereignty over the choices of the sovereign Creator. Just the thought of predestination scares you, essentially it means God is sovereign and you are not!
