It’s true that the body of Christ was predetermined. The coming of the Messiah was predetermined. You could even argue that certain people in...
I don’t recall basso posting in this thread, but the Reform view of predestination in not in line with the teachings of any main line Christian...
Kate: You are not hearing what I’ve said and you’re just repeating passages we’ve already addressed. No one is saying that Christians earn their...
I think I see what the problem is. You are differentiating between predestining and believing. In this theory when do people come to believe?...
