And you need to know this,if you support
predestination as opposed to foreknowledge, it matters not what any of us believe as everything was decided long ago..
I believe that God gave me free will,I was offered the gift of faith and accepted it.I did not earn my salvation,I accepted it willingly and joyfuly.I believe that he "knew"..."foreknowledge" that I would accept his offer but I believe he also gave me the right to decline!
Far too many people
confuse predestination with foreknowledge and they are
not the same! Predestination in the narrow sense, negates mans free will in accepting God's message of salvation.
Anyway..we are straying far off topic here,the topic is Prosperity Gospel.
Perhaps we can start a thread on predestination and resume the discussion.
