Greetings Steve, and all who love the Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks for your responses. I think we need to backtrack here as I think we are going off track. You stated; Post # 29615; <<< He allowed you to make a decision before you made it, and did it before the creation of the world. But you did make it! >>>. Where in scripture did you ever come up with such an idea? Almighty God who is eternal and is not stranded in time like us, certainly chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. Scripture clearly states this fact. He indeed saw the decision I would make after being born, but to think I made this decision before being born is absolutely ridiculous, how can I make a decision not having a mind or body which would influence these choices. I am a created being, that is I had a beginning and I could never make choices with out the means of a human body. Indeed God could look down through time as we know it, and see the choices we would make, but to think that we made choices before coming into existence is " off the wall ", to say the least. I mean no disrespect Steve by this strong rebuttal. You also stated in the same post; <<< You just made it before you were alive and had the ability to make decisions. >>> Yes God certainly is able to see what decisions I would make before I was born, but to think that I could make these decisions not being born yet, well that is quite another fairy story. Show me in scripture where you get this please. I think you are confusing the Creator and the created. I will stop here Steve and await your response. Take care and may we all come to the full understanding of God's Holy Word. In Christ, Robert
