Predestined for Free Will
This site is the result of an on-going discussion I had with a friend on the Free Will vs. Predestination issue. I kept notes of our discussions and e-mails and refined my arguments, originally for my own use. The end result is my paper, Predestined for Free Will http://www.freewill-predestination.com . There was interest in making my notes available to others and the Internet was the best way.
“Therefore, O house of Israel, I will judge you, each one according to his ways, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, O house of Israel? For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live! Ezekiel 18:30-32 NIV
Say to them, “'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways!” Ezekiel 33:11 NIV
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will-- to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace... Ephesians 1:4-7
It is clear that what was predestined was God's plan for salvation through His son Jesus Christ.
