Predestination...What Does The Bible Say ?

Common Sense Commentary:They, like us, have a free will to choose to love, obey and serve God loyally or NOT. God did not predestinate Lucifer and these angels to rebel and to betray Him; but His perfect, all knowing foreknowledge KNEW they would before they thought it, and that made it inevitable. What God's foreknowledge knows that WE WILL to do, we will do. That makes it "destined" or "predestined" but not by God's choosing, before the fact, but by OUR FREE WILL CHOOSING to do so on our own. That makes us responsible, not God. God did not want or make Adam and Eve to sin. That makes no sense in the cause of their sin or in the character of God . Therefore, His judgement on us is just. We deserve it. Knowing who would REJECT Him before they actually did it, He rejects them, and knowing who would accept Him, He accepts them. "But Preacher, isn't that unfair?" No, they bring judgement upon themselves. What would be unfair is if God chose one sinner over the other and sent the other to hell predestined NOT to accept Christ because God didn't want him to. There has to be room here for "Whosoever WILL". We are not predestined pegs on God's game board. "Predestination", without the "foreknowledge" of 1Pet.1:2 and Rom.8:29 borders on heresy. "But, Preacher, can a lost sinner or his mother pray for his salvation and God answer the prayer?" Yes, of course, but the Prayer of faith is also foreknown by God and is incorporated into that sinners case.
