Title: The outcome determined from the beginning    
  
  
  
  

    

  
  
  
  


The idea that each individual`s Eternal destiny is predetermined by God is of Satan.   

How so?   

It contradicts Scripture.   
For the Holy Spirit so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The Holy Spirit is the eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent Creator of all things by the Word.     

What world is John speaking of?     
    The earth and all the people born into humanity.     

The Holy Spirit is love and love is of the Holy Spirit.     

The world was created by our Lord and it is good.     We know that man chose rebellion against the Holy Spirit and so humanity became evil.     But the Holy Spirit loves the people of this world and so He birthed Christ Jesus into the world to redeem it and us.     

The Gospel is heard and those who are hungry are lead by the Holy Spirit to believe and receive the Truth.     

The Truth sets us free from sin, from death and hell and brings us to Eternal Life by the infilling of the Holy Spirit.     

Here is understanding:
    Everlasting Life is Eternal Life
    Eternal Life is union with the Holy Spirit.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
The Lord is love and His love is manifest in Christ who made it possible for us to be born of His Holy Spirit and so be In Christ.     

But, He gives us the choice between life and death.     When a person receives Christ Jesus they receive Eternal Life.     When a person rejects Christ Jesus they enter into Eternal Death against the Lord's will.     

This verse totally undermines the false doctrine of Extreme Sovereignty.     We do not see all men coming to repentance so the Lord's will is not done with respect to every human being.

If it is God`s Will that all be Saved, then all are Saved or God is Evil for sending anyone to Hell - at least on the basis of Extreme Sovereignty Theology.   

God is the Creator and Law giver, the rules maker.   In that sense He Predestined all things.   

God Knows the beginning from the end.   

To Know something is not the same as causing something.   

God is outside of Time.   He can see all Time at once.   So, He can see the beginning and the end in the Now.   He is the great I Am!   

Your Life is NOT scripted.   It is determined by your Choices and God`s Grace.   

Jesus has left His Disciples as stewards until He returns.   So, the ball is in our court as His stewards.   
He will take account from us for our stewardship at His return.   

Jesus is Life!   

Choose Life!   

And Live!
