cg1970 said:There is a thread that has been going on for several days concerning predestination. There is a belief among those who profess to know God that he predestinates some of his creation to end up in hell. That belief goes on to add that some are also predestined, to end up in Heaven. To me, the concept of God creating children with the premeditated purpose of sending them to destruction is very disturbing. The scenario would go something like this: God, who creates all of us to be his children, creates some of his children, with the intent of sending them to Hell, where they would suffer eternal pain and damnation. I say that is a bunch of bunk. I dont care what your interpretation of scripture is. IT IS WRONG! It goes against the very nature of the loving God I have come to know and love. God does NOT create to cause pain and destroy. He creates to nurture and love. To those who believe that our God would actually do such a thing show that they do not know Him at all, and they demonstrate a general lack of wisdom. They are either taking scripture out of context, or miss-interpreting it all together. IT IS NOT TRUE! Someone mentioned that there are some things in scripture that constitute a bitter pill to swallow. I say that with god, there are NO bitter pills! You can quote scripture all you want. It will not sway me. I am defending the God I love so dearly. The truth is that every one of us is predestined to go to Heaven. The predestination is a true predestination, but it is conditional. The condition is that we accept the Gift of Salvation through Jesus. That is my statement. It is absolutely true! PERIOD!
Good Day, CG 1970
We will quote it, you will run from it because it does not fit your view. As such you treat it as foolishness..
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Peace to u,
