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. |
I have already shown you what the Greek word "proorizō" means but I guess you chose to ingnore it. God not only predestined those whom will be conformed to the image of His Son, He also had foreknowlege of them....so its not either or, its both.
Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV)
5
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and
before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
