Didn't he see that happening?
Hmmm, according to his worshippers on here, this doesn't happen. Can we have an explanation on this major contradiction from Patrick, rza or Swa please?
And taking out the animals as well???? wtf is that all about? Those little kittens and loyal doggies![]()

Well, the dinosaurs felt the full wrath of his might for whatever reason they pissed him off. It would stand to reason that the rest are not are no exception, again for whatever reason.
So in other words there is no free will because being saved or not has already been determined by God?
Look at it this way: There is nothing that happens without being determined by God or being allowed by God to happen before it even happens, absolutely nothing. With regarsd to salvation, Phillipians 2:13 answers your question. It makes it clear that you have a will, but it is God who works in you to "will and to act according to his purpose". So do you have a will? Yes. Who controls your will according to Phillipians 2:13? God. Do you then have a will if God controls it? No! But this is with regards to salvation as made clear in Phillipians 2:12.
Do you have a will to sin? Absolutely! Does God control your will to sin? No, because God is not the author of sin but has allowed it to occur! Waht this means is that you would not have an excuse when God sends to hell.

Oh, ok. So God knows everything and he knows when we will sin and what we will do... but its our free will that made us sin, and therefore God will punish us for it, even though he knew all the details beforehand because he controls our will.
He controls our will when it comes to salvation.
No, being omniscient he doesn't get to chose when he "controls" our will.. its all or nothing, and he accepts all the responsibility for it.
Starting to see this boat sinking fast. When one person tells me the Bible says we must choose who we will serve, and another person tells me my choice is already made, I slowly start backing away and quietly exit through the rear door.
What choice is that at the moment?
What choice is that ?
Every choice... you say God controls your will, therefore all choices you make, are made by God...
My choice of salvation, unless I misunderstood you.
Then so be it, unless you have a problem with God's choice. Do you have a problem with God's choice?
