[QUOTE="Samson2021, post: 77313263, member: 433534"] The problem is that God predestined us ALL to be in rebellion. Romans 11:32 "For[B][COLOR=rgb(251, 160, 38)] [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience[/COLOR][/B] so that He could have mercy on everyone." The problem here is truly that we humans want to put everything into a category of either GOOD or EVIL. God made BOTH to reside on the tree in the garden. We someday will come to understand Romans 8:28 ..[B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)].ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THOSE THAT LOVE GOD [U]TO THEM WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.[/U][/COLOR][/B]... Whether you call it good or evil for God uses both to mature those whom He has elected to be His first-born sons. And if there are first-born there will also be second. That is for another day. Consider did you earn the baptism in the Holy Ghost or was it received after you received the faith necessary to believe? Both of which are gifts from the Fathers hand. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]Thus you did not choose to believe but rather God chose you to fulfill His purpose[/B].[/COLOR] Rejoice in that fact that God our Father chose you in this first dispensation. [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]John 15:16 "You did NOT choose Me, I chose you....."[/COLOR][/B] Considering you have no input as to mother and or father, gender, what religion you were raised in, education, what century, born during old or new testament times etc.... your life is on a daily basis lived out according to a plan that God had devised for you before the world even was formed. Did God abdicate His plan for you based on your uninformed decisions? Most cannot or will not accept that they have nothing to do with their own salvation and want to somehow earn what was given to them by the sacrifice of the Son. [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Romans 5:18[/COLOR][/B] Once we realize our own righteousness is but a blinder we can then move forward into maturing and recognize that [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]our situations are devised by the Father to MATURE us[/COLOR][/B] just as they did Jesus. A carnally minded man will never understand this for that carnal mind controls how he thinks and it sees itself as god. The new born spirit within the man must win the battle over the mind and be transformed by the renewing of that mind so that he can become what he was meant to be, a son of the living God and a brother of the Lord Jesus, and thus become what both are...LOVE. Simply realize that you are being processed by your Father into the son that He predestinated you to someday be. There are those who are appointed to stumble at the word, and there are those that will obtain unto the first born son group, and truly both are the Fathers decisions not ours. [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]FREEWILL? NO SUCH THING, as those appointed to stumble cannot override the decision of God!! [/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
