Everyone believes predestination is a state of being, or something decided “before” a human can make or change or overcome that decision that had already been made “before he reached the time to choose” one way or the other.
Great!
But, know that salvation was not “chosen” for each man before as you have been taught.
See Jesus has to be understood “BEFORE” you can explain a term which is in a period of God’s time and NOT in man’s time. Predestination is BEFORE TIME ITSELF!
Jesus WAS THERE BEFORE HE CREATED LETTERS TO WRITE THE WORD “predestination”, or the TIME ITSELF when he actually created the first scientific element that occupied space.
Predestination is something THAT DID PRE-EXIST BEFORE TIME. The Calvinist ideology is that “predestination” is a SINGULAR One Sided view of God’s decision. Calvinism claims God decides whether you are saved or lost! Even though that is TRUE; it is more of a LIE than correct!
How?
Because man has written down God’s view “AFTER” he created time and space and then man on the 6th day!
See Calvinism is lacking in its own definition and understanding that it DID NOT GO BACK FAR ENOUGH IN TIME TO GET THE CORRECT DISCERNMENT! (Word picture: a human can see an advertisement about a car, a new gadget, a new restaurant, or maybe a movie and think with a predestined attitude they “like it” or “don’t like it”. A human is limited but look at the word picture more like man studying the Bible about God’s capabilities to know in an absolute manner that he would not be wrong ” AFTER buying the car, using the gadget, eating at the new restaurant, or going to the cinema and watching the new movie. God, of course, would be able to make any choice and be 100% correct every time before, during or after he did anything!
However, Calvinism DOES NOT APPROACH THE DISCERNMENT IN THE SAME “TIME FASHION”; NEITHER IN THE CORRECT SPIRITUAL MIND FASHION!
THE DIFFERENCE, man approached the discernment of understanding predestination with the ideology of JESUS AS A HUMAN AND NOT GOD! THIS MAKES THE IDEOLOGY COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! SEE, most theologians to this day can not describe how Jesus is both man and God at the
“same-time”. I am going to make that expression a hyphenated word to get a better grasp of the complicated physics of time with the relation to humans. Many scholars have tried to grasp “time” like Albert Einstein; but, the great theologians DID NOT HAVE HIS MIND AND CONFUSED A FEW PRINCIPLES OF THE SCIENTIFIC FACTS ABOUT TIME AND THE JUST AS COMPLICATED SPIRITUAL DESCRIPTIONS ABOUT TIME IN THE BIBLE!
FIRST, time BEFORE time is “pre” everything!
SECOND, time as a God is NOT time as a man.
Today in the 21st century, very educated physics professors are finding new ways to “describe” Einsteins discoveries about time with examples of how to describe “time travel”(see Carl Sagan’s describing the 4th dimension).
The earlier theologians who debated this have become the permanent all-knowing gurus of how the word “predestined” is supposed to be explained. Well, like new technologies, or simply a misunderstanding of the Holy Spirit has had all of us trapped with the wrong “formula” (word picture) of “predestination”.
The OLD FORMULA for predestination was this:
God + time + his absolute decision + Adam + Old Testament (prophecy of Jesus to come)+ Israelites saved by following after Abraham (skipping all the ideologies before Noah; talk about later) = Jesus + Israelites still saved because of the promises to “his people” (chosen) + Jesus dying on cross at Calgary + Jesus rising from the dead and having witnesses there to testify in the year 0 + New Testament replacement of salvation for “Only the Gentiles” + Saul (the disciple also know as Paul) explaining his conversion + “RECOGNITION” + Holy Spirit.
That is a long formula but you should write it out on paper as a one-liner.
Here is the correct formula that should replace the old one and you will understand a 4th dimension in the spiritual.
God + Jesus + Holy Spirit + design (his absolute decision of how all matters of anything will end -plans for his creation-which is a choice to decide between God’s word or the Tree of Knowledge- which has not been made yet and God’s word has included in it Jesus’ blood sacrifice-which literally does exist before time; because it is ALL OF GOD!) + TIME + Adam + Old Testament(prophecy of Jesus to come- BUT NOT AS UNDERSTOOD BY THE OLD GUYS; they interpreted everything as Jesus was a “man coming”, not as God coming! See if you listen closely to most theologians today they do not address the prophecy of “God coming in a restricted form in the flesh”, they address him as flesh coming in the flesh because he came from? David! The bloodline of David! Look at the Jews! It is all about the bloodline! Look at the Muslims! It is all about the bloodline! They say it was Ishmael, NOT ISSAC! The Egyptians worshipped the bloodline! Many countries hold to the “bloodline” theme in politics, education, status, everything! North Korean President (god) Kim Jung-un makes his country worship HIS BLOODLINE!) + A divided race at the Tower of Babel followed Abram into the desert and worshipped Elohim (his grandfather’s God known to Noah as the Trinity God and later God told Abram his name was Yahweh to teach Abram a new Revelation about himself which was not new, it was just new because God had not revealed it yet to man – GOD TELLS MOSES THAT HE IS “El” ( “I am who I Am”). Then God tells Abram that he (God) is Yahweh? Why? Here is where when you “Google” stuff about all God’s names you will get a bunch of “absolute PREJUDICE” TWISTED DEFINITIONS OF WHAT THESE WORDS MEAN because THEY ALL don’t want to step on the Jews feet! So, read and absorb this before casting it to the side. Read the Psalms and see what the true meaning of “chosen” means! Verse after verse and Psalm after Psalm David tell us that “For the honor of your name” is why God should show mercy on “his” people even when then turn away!!! “Chosen” DOES NOT MEAN SAVED!!! IT IS FOR GOD’S HONOR THAT ALL MEN WILL KNOW WHO STILL IS THE GOD OF THE JEWS, EVEN THE LOST JEWS!
Everybody on the planet has become just like in the days of Noah, IDOLATORS!
SEVEN WHOLE GENERATIONS after Noah through one of his three his sons, named Seth; God goes to Abram and Abram (not God- look at the second formula where “design” is located) chooses “to turn away from his earthly and spiritual fathers”! Abram turned to “El” or “Jehovah” or “Elohim” as the one race “Adamites” worshipped OR DID NOT WORSHIP (in other words, this is why when you study history the idolatry that took off to a different land “TOOK GOD’S OLD NAME and kinda copycatted it to other false idols ( look up how many other religions use the same word as El in a different language. There was no distinction on the planet!). Abram took his people to a different land and bam! [Word picture:God came to the humans and split the people HE ALSO SPLIT HIMSELF! When I was born I was named by my parents, John Bowen. When I got married and I decided to procreate I split my name by giving two very special humans “a NAME FOR MYSELF FOR THEM TO CALL ME – DADDY”!!!!!!!]. Another example is Jehovah’s Witnesses. They do not associate with Yahweh; how could they? They only could like many wanting to hide truth by not discerning the Holy Spirit inspired meaning as “Daddy, Father, Lord”! Those were absolute personal references to someone. Scripture proof is Acts 2:36!!!
When God told Abram to tell his followers out in the desert what his name was, it was like God birthed children; and he told Abram to use: Yahweh (which is in the English version Daddy God)! The other names did NOT SEPARATE GOD INDEPENDENTLY FROM THE IDOLATORS LIKE NOW YAHWEH WOULD!
YAHWEH MEANS:
“YOUR (Personal) GOD”!
See, the Jews don’t want to use the name “Yahweh” because THEY CAN only FEEL THE PAIN OF REJECTING ALL THE WORDS IN THE TORAH OF THE PROMISED MESSIAH; the Messiah was actually walked up to them first breathing and they (the only one’s to know him through the Law, the Psalms, and their prophets) crucified by their hands! Everything in theology has been twisted during the great Reformation in a like manner “IN ORDER NOT TO STEP ON THE FEET OF THE JEWS DUE TO IGNORANCE OF THE MASSES ( which takes a great amount of correct teaching to keep from getting stoned- jumped conclusions) and DUE TO THE IGNORANCE OF THE GREAT REFORMERS THEMSELVES WHO COULD NOT EXPLAIN DEEP SUBJECTS ( like the meaning of predestination- which takes another great educational teaching effort for the masses who don’t study).
So, it is probably easy to think I am getting off track, but stay with me to recognize “WHY TODAYS PREACHERS AVOID THE TRUTH”! They are scared of rejection and losing their diploma (actually ex-communicated from their religious affiliation that endorses and sometimes writes their checks!)! Some now kind of skip the basics of the Bible and go straight for the hard discernments of scripture which keeps the church as elementary students like 6th graders in Albert Einstein’s class! I say this, because God wrote the Bible to be understood BY THE STUPID AND the SIMPLE LIKE ME!!!!!? IF God will give me the meaning he will give it to anybody WITHOUT A THEOLOGY DIPLOMA!!!!! GOD WROTE HIS LETTER OF LOVE TO EVERYBODY, THAT is ALL HIS CREATION WOULD BE SAVED!!!!
NOW that you see some VERY DEEP crap covering the veil of preachers to have already given you this information you can hopefully see why you must clean your glasses of that previous junk and look with a new open mind of this complicated explanation. After, Abram and the divided culture/worshipping groups/” races- bad word but commonly used, add + GOD IN FLESH FORM, ANOINTED AS the HIGHEST PRIEST (but not by the ones he fired), PROPHECIED SINCE Gen. 3:14-20, El, Elohim, and Yahweh who took on the limitations (physical only-read the my story called “ALWAYS SMART & PERFECT WITHOUT THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE”) of what he created AFTER HIS PLANS OF CREATION, + Jesus died and crucified and raised himself from the buried ground he was in like all other humans + Jesus revealing himself that he did not do DUE TO THE LIMITS OF MAN & ANGELS!!!!(read Revelations 12) + ” THE GREAT MYSTERY REVEALED AND JESUS DEFEATED IN THE WILDERNESS (“The Great Mystery” Col. 2:2-3; Mark 4:11; Eph. 3:5; Eph. 1:9-10; 1 Cor. 2:7; Rev. 2:7; John 14:9; Col. 1:25-26; Matt. 25:50; John 14:23; 2 John 1:6;
Col. 1:27; Col. 2:2; 1 Cor. 2:10; 1 Timothy 3:16;
1 Cor. 2:7-14; Col. 1:7; Col. 1:26-27; John 6:45;
Romans 10:17; John 3:16-17; Rev. 22:16; and all the Law, the Psalms and the prophets ( their personal PTN [Prophetic Typological Narration by a type of Christ or a type of Satan] life story revealed in scripture) tells us about Jesus and his “PLANS” and fulfillment of “His independent work BEFORE time!
Furthermore, Christianity is the ONLY RELIGION that has a character or god which describes their ACTIONS ON EARTH as having an impact on the human race “BEFORE they were earthly born!”. All other religions have characters or gods that claim they impacted society “ONLY AFTER THEY WERE BORN”!
