Does God Choose or does Man...

[reddogs]

Can God, being omniscient, choose those who will be saved or does man out of his on free will choose to be saved.


2 Thessalonians 2:13
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:


Prov 19;21 "many plans are in the hearts of man, but its the Lords purpose that prevails"

 

[EGW]

Revelation 22:17
The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.

 

[TrustAndObey]

"whoever wishes" is a big clue in that last verse, IMHO.

 

[Endium]

I agree...

another verse: "everyone who thirsts, come to the waters, and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Come buy wine and milk, without money and without price" isaiah 55
