It's good that you're not upset. I didn't think you were.

I have read what you've written, but I still haven't seen a direct response to my question. What do you do with "whosoever will" and "freely?" When your doctrine teaches that
nobody can "will" and there is no
"freely?"
I don't believe that there are any contradictions about predestination, and the only
apparent contradictions are due to the
redefinitions of terms by the system of Calvinism. Ephesians 1 is actually very clear on
what is predestinated -- your choice is
not a predestined choice (that would not be choice or belief -- that's just programming) -- your
belief comes
before your salvation, as is apparent in the same chapter. The sequence of events is actually quite clear; what is predestinated is actually quite clear. It is Calvinism that muddies the waters and turns the Lord's
invitation to drink
freely of the water of life into an empty plea.
