ArchivedIs John 3:16 actually an invitation open to all?God's foreknowledge is not based on whom He has elected, nor is His election based on His foreknowledge. It is a difficult concept to understand given our finite minds, especially when you throw free will into the mix. But we must remember that God's ways are higher than ours, so just because we don't understand it doens't mean it's not true. You saying "knowing all the while that you can not possibly take advantage of it" is not an accurate statement. The fact is that everyone has the possibility of accepting it, but God knows who will and who won't. This doesn't make Him cruel for offering it, rather, it should solidify His love in your mind - He knows they will reject Him, yet He offers it anyway. You seem to be saying that God doesn't know who will accept Him, so that's why He offers it to everyone. You would would turn your back on a God who has the prerogative to chose some men for Himself, yet you would worship a God who is not omniscient? |
