While I'm at it,
I am reading Luke 14 and 15 as I write this. Look at 14:16-24 and explain if you will predestination in this. Also, in Luke 15:4-7, Jesus is referring to "sinners" as "lost sheep". If a christian is a saint who sins, and hence can never truly be lost, than there is no need for verse 7 at all. Agree? Look carefully. Sinners in these verses are lost sheep rather than the predestined "damned". Bottomline, predestination (the way I believe you view it) is inconsistent with the very nature of God.
Brian, to understand you better, are you saying that God calls only some, and that only some of the some respond? |
