Can someone please put to rest the notion that predestination turns humans into robots?
Were the Apostles predestined and did they have a choice to follow JESUS when He told them "follow Me".If our eternal destiny is already chosen by God before we are born, then we are robots. We can only do what we are programmed to do. This is Calvinism.
What's to disagree with?
Were the Apostles predestined and did they have a choice to follow JESUS when He told them "follow Me".
[RNKV] Mark 2:14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
The "then we are robots" part.If our eternal destiny is already chosen by God before we are born, then we are robots. We can only do what we are programmed to do. This is Calvinism.

The "then we are robots" part.
John 6:60-68
60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who can understand it?
61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, Does this offend you? 62 What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. 65 And He said, Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.
66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. 67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, Do you also want to go away?
68 But Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Do robots have emotion?
Sounds a lot like the GT boardNo. That is one of the reasons why the Calvinistic doctrine is so unlikely. On the one hand its tenants declare that we are robots, while on the other hand those who subscribe to these same tenants deny this to be true. It is a house divided against itself. "A house divided against itself cannot stand."
But wait!No. That is one of the reasons why the Calvinistic doctrine is so unlikely.
