Does God Predestinate People Based On His Foreknowledge?
Does God Predestinate People Based On His Foreknowledge?
Many Christians are told that God has looked into the future to see who would accept Christ and therefore those people are the ones whom God has predestined to be saved. Where is this idea stated in the Bible? This idea is a false doctrine, perhaps based on a misunderstanding of scriptures like Romans 8:29 and Romans 11:2.

John 1:13 – “Which were born, not of… Continue reading
What About The Sin Of Unbelief?
What About The Sin Of Unbelief?
Some people who claim that man has a free will to accept Christ are also saying that the only sin that keeps a person out of heaven is the sin of unbelief. That idea probably comes from this verse:
