The hot topics were HOT! Virtually no moderation. They sent out a message to members when they sold that mentioned the reason. Don't remember.

I was always impressed with Fritz taking the time to email and even post in threads.

I can't get beyond God had to "learn" something...

That sounds familiar...that God isn't rude and won't impose Himself. A brother also heard it at a preacher's festival in the Northwest years ago. Some liberal preacher said this along with other foo-foo teachings. Franklin Graham immediately followed and the tone of the event took a dramatic...

This was on TV... There was no mention of tithing or financial support. My guess is it had something to do with freewill maybe? I have heard it more than once, but no detailed explanation is offered.

A TV preacher said this in a sermon. What did he mean and why did he say this? Is there any Biblical passages that corroborate?

The creation of the world and man is a defined moment in time. The creation of man and the world, according to Genesis, happened recently in eternal terms. God chose to accomplish some things before/when the world was created. Or in advance of creation. Ephesians 1:3-5 New King James...

Pretty solid post with God and time. God sees the entire parade all at once. Biblical predestination is in respect to before the world was created- Chosen in Him before the foundation of the world. The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Your point on God foreknowing makes sense...

Is your prooftext buried in this passage on God's predestination, intimate everlasting love and eternal security? Romans 8:28-39 New King James Version (NKJV) 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29...

Perhaps the thread is too busy and you cannot distinguish who said what and when. Predestination is in The Bible. Prove that it is not in in The Bible. The burden of proof is on you to disprove Biblical predestination, not me. Some men are predestined according to Romans 8:29 God...

:amen:

Yep, God is just...and The Justifier! Predestination is in The Bible. See Romans 8:29 & Acts 2:23 Give us verses to support your contrary definition of predestination. You are again confused about double predestination. HYPER-Calvinism.

You don't know my beliefs. Are you a mind reader? Building strawmen and false arguments does not advance discussion. Why not ask out of courtesy my pov, instead of misrepresenting my pov? God does not predestinate based upon man's actions. You have it backwards. Isaiah refutes and disproves...

What then is The Biblical definition of predestination? You keep saying what it is not, but not what constitutes predestination. Give us specific Biblical examples of predestination from The Bible. Not foreknowing. Foreknowing is NOT predestination. God knows in advance because He has...

This is called "personal incredulity" Someone cannot believe a position is valid because they are unable to understand. I wonder how the anti-predestination folks define predestination? Extra-Biblically?

Perhaps not everyone is yet equipped for advanced teaching :sigh:

Sure there is determinism, Peter even says so in Acts 2:23 Predestination is God's choices...our choices are our choices. You cannot reinvent words. PRE (before) destination. It's before. Anyhow, nice corollary.

That's not what was said or implied. God predestined a sacrificial system with a morning lamb and evening lamb. Cain and Abel both made offerings unto The Lord. God accepted the lamb. God predestined The Passover Supper with the killing and eating the flesh of a lamb. Abraham said God will...

The RCC position reads as if there is harmony between predestination and choice. This soft determinism/compatibilism is held by many Christians as well. I don't see the conventional foreseen faith contained in any of the references. Foreseen faith is when God looks into the future to see who...

Foreseen faith? God chose those that He knew would choose Him? Can you link this teaching to the CCC or The Bible?
