Hmmmmm, good point, well made.
But, if that's true, then why try to win over souls to God? If they're predestined to go to hell, it's a waste of effort. If they belong to God, eventually someone else will win them over. Which is what I was, strangely enough, thinking about recently. The Bible (or God) wants us to save lost souls. Frankly, I think it's enough that I believe in Him, and am willing to follow his word, but I don't want to bug people about it, and condemn things in the world. Sure, they might be wrong, but who am I to point it out and judge?
I am sooo going to hell for saying that.
Anyway, I haven't been in the faith nor read the Bible in a long amount of time. Where does it say he knows what we will do? All I heard was that he has a record book of the stuff we've done (which if you don't believe in Jesus, ultimately doesn't matter). It seems that he might know some things, but not
everything.
I don't know, maybe I should stop talking now... :/
