ImCo: I believe HE wants no one to perish in hell so it is impossible in my mind and theology to believe HE knew who would fall into unforgivable eternal sin before their creation but created them anyway... At the same time I accept that HE knew the outcomes and style of decisions such sinners...

I used to think that as the only answer but I stumbled on the idea that HE was the agent responsible for their / our fall. Couple that with the necessity of our fall or election to be based upon our free will and this dogma just had to go... PCE filled in the missing pieces to the puzzle and I...

Accepting one interpretation over another is not denying scripture. It is a matter of faith, passing by another's interpretation of the meaning and accepting a different interpretation. 1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass darkly: but then face to face: now I know in part, but...

Of course it does but HE did not create them knowing HE would send them to hell while at the same time HE did not want anyone to perish in hell! 2 Timothy 2:13 Berean Standard Bible if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold resolutely to...

ImCo, HE does NOT know the true free will decisions of HIS creation. HE has made HIS desire for hell to be empty very clear: 2 Peter 3:9: States God is patient, "not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance". 1 Timothy 2:3–4: Highlights that God "desires all people to be...

What part of the sinner is enslaved to sin?

And, imCo, making mankind was HIS method to bring HIS sinful elect (the sheep of HIS flock who have gone astray into sin, HIS prodigal family) back to their Bishop and Saviour [1 Peter 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray: but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.] by...

Yes... and a free will is the ability to choose without coercion from outside yourself forcing your choice. This implies that the ability to choose does not prove we have a free will. Satan and the demons choose but are enslaved to only making sinful choices, the great addictive power of...

Wow, you attack me over a misinterpretation of why I highlighted my repeat of the question?? Seriously, that's your best shot? I suggest you try theology instead... NO, HE did not - that is the true red herring the church has followed since the earliest rabbis. HE clearly said 1. it was not...

That's readily apparent if your theology doesn't get in the way...: Gen 2:18 The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.” 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought...

The one which the Holy Spirit is interpreting for you at any moment...

Since some liked my quote of this verse, here is a repeat of my Christian opinion on its implications ...

ImCo, I found a theology that fully satisfies me as to the kind of creation a holy loving GOD would make if HE was trying to create a Bride for HIMself. Without a true free will acceptance of the marriage proposal, no marriage can be real. IF HE created us to be able to choose by our free will...

Acts 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

Berean Standard Bible Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit. Hmmm, seems to refer to the greatness of HIS power and understanding... Might we not say that to understand everything HE knows perfectly without limit is not to say that HE knows everything without...

I am...as my Christian opinion.

GOD's omniscience, Calvin's failure: Calvin followed the pagan Greek widom definition of omniscience brought into the church by the Greek idolizers and Augustine: ie, GOD knows everything that can be known from eternity past to eternity future. Certainly sounds all Godly and all eh? To bad it...

:) :)

Ok, but my theology applies to very person ever created in HIS image at any age of their existence...everyone created in HIS image had a true free will and the ability to choose... The doctrine that some sinful people (called believers) will never be condemned and some sinners (called never...

If by born you refer to our creation, not just our birth, then I do not and my 'proof' is that I believe that there will be people in an eternal hell only upon their free will.
