It was PRE-PLANNED; the beginning of it...and the end. God set the stage in Eden...to show us who He is, in Christ, on the cross.<BR/><BR/>"The Fall", "Original Sin",...we must not set ourselves up, we must not take too much credit for that.<BR/><BR/>No, not Dualism...not at all...,but that God set up from the beginning to show us WHO HE IS.....AND....who He is NOT.<BR/><BR/>Grace and Mercy are all we have now. Should one think not, he should live by the law...as long as Grace and Mercy will allow. THEN...he will see that the Law only produces his need for God's Grace and Mercy. "Mercy triumphs over Justice"...something we rarely hear preached anymore.<BR/><BR/>In the end...we are saved by His Grace...not one thing more...not one thing less.<BR/><BR/>"Predestination"?<BR/><BR/>--I have Grace and Mercy.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Bro.

I believe in absolute predestination of all things because the bible plainly says it in many places. I believe it because the bible teaches it.<BR/><BR/>Good writing.<BR/><BR/>God bless<BR/><BR/>StephenStephen Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10866698322854892197noreply@blogger.com
